Strange PHP error

[Jujubee]

Started getting this error after my host copied everything over to a new server:

Warning: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /home/account/public_html/test2.php on line 77

Warning: Failed opening 'http://domain.com/db/show.php?show=1&type=old' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home/account/public_html/test2.php on line 77

Line 77 in the script is:

<?php include("http://domain.com/db/show.php?show=1&type=old"); ?>

Could this be due to a difference in the PHP module on the new machine? Help!

Php is looking for a file called "show.php?show=1&type=old" When you want it to get the file "show.php" and pass the variables show=1 and type=old. on fix to your problem whould be...

$show = "1";
$type = "old";
include("show.php");

Hmm...the problem is that the code worked as is for 2 months. The error only started today after my host moved all accounts to a new machine (early this morning).


That's a good tip though! Never thought of that simple solution.


I'd still like to figure out what the above error is since I've got many includes and my site now looks like a mess.

Hrm... If they changed servers, or went to a different server, or reinstalled the server, they may have changed a setting or some configure in their build. A very good thing would be to bring this to their attention. This is because if they do this often they are not a very good server provider and need to be told that paying attention to server configures is extremely inportant when dealing with clients... You can always try webmaster@domainOfSite.com or something along those lines. Do not waste time with customer service... Ok.. I'm off my soap box. I feel better now...

Update:

I tried this without any parameters

<?php include("http://domain.com/db/show.php"); ?>


Got the same error!

then there is seriously something wrong with the way they have php set up.

Try the same with a domain on the same server and it will probably work, if your host likes to save a few cents by running as a poxy... sorry proxy server, then you will not be able to include, or fopen remote files.

You could try opening a socket connection but I would not hold out too much hope.

If its an essential file, you can ask your host to cache the file locally for you, they will need to give you a new address to point to the file, anf this assumes they are in any way friendly.
