PHP issues..

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm fairly new to PHP and the like so maybe I'm making a simple error or something, but I'm trying to implement a PHP comments script I have uploaded pnto my server onto my pages.

The script is working perfectly and when I post a "test" comment on the actual comments.php file, everything works ace. But when it comes to embedding it in a page, this is what I see in its place;

Warning: main(): URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/.fresh/shreddercfh/senatorspicy.com/dan/0001.php on line 4

Warning: main(http://www.senatorspicy.com/comments/comments.php): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/.fresh/shreddercfh/senatorspicy.com/dan/0001.php on line 4

Warning: main(): URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/.fresh/shreddercfh/senatorspicy.com/dan/0001.php on line 4

Warning: main(http://www.senatorspicy.com/comments/comments.php): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/.fresh/shreddercfh/senatorspicy.com/dan/0001.php on line 4

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'http://www.senatorspicy.com/comments/comments.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/.fresh/shreddercfh/senatorspicy.com/dan/0001.php on line 4

"senatorspicy.com/dan/0001.php" being the page I'm trying to test it on.

What is preventing me from being able to embed my comments.php into pages I would like it to appear on?

This is not nearly as bad as it looks, and is all the result of DreamHost disabling Allow url_fopen on the shared servers. This is for your own protection, as that is an easily abused "feature" of PHP.

The fix, in your case, is really easy. Take a look at the DreamHost Wiki Article on Allow url_fopen and all will probably be pretty clear. If not, post back and we will see if we can help you get it sorted.

You're right, that ended up being a piece of cake. Thanks a ton, I appreciate it.
