Failed opening required

Okay, I just set up my first dedicated server and everything is
running fine, except one script that calls a file on another server.

Failed opening required 'http://www.example.com/
somefile.txt' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /
home/example/public_html/includes/common.inc(1201) : eval()'d code on
line 43

The code that's throwing the error is:

$fp = @fsockopen("www.example.com", "80",$errno, $errstr,
$timeout="5"); if($fp) { require ''http://www.example.com/act/partner/
inclusion.php"; }

And for what it's worth I changed require with include and it then
threw:

URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration

Now, I've checked and made sure that allow_url_fopen is on and
safe_mode is off. But I still get an error so I'm missing something
somewhere. What other settings should I be looking at?

Thanks,
Jeremy

allow_url_include

(which is something you don't want, way to risky normally to include =

'foreign' code, if your just looking for it's output, use =

file_get_contents() or the like)

Thanks Rik, worked like a charm. And I agree with you that it's rare
to want to just include a file like this, but it's one of those times
where it's needed.
