My host has just upgraded to php 4.3.2 from (4.2.3) and now my grabbing scripts (based on your amazon one Aquanuke) are not working I have been onto support and they asked the question

Does your script require any specific Apache add-ons (that I might have missed) or a specific version of PHP itself?

Any ideas what the problem/solution is?

I had a similar problem with a PHP upgrade. It was the fread function behaving strangly.

I had something like: -

$GrabURL = "http://some.url/";
$OpenFile = fopen("$GrabURL", "r");
$RetrieveFile = fread($OpenFile, 1000000); 

when I changed this to: -

$GrabURL = "http://some.url/";
$RetrieveFile = file_get_contents($GrabURL); 

it all seemed to work ok.

Hope this helps.
