Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg(): URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/.french/mywebsite/mywebsite/upload_imagenes2.php on line 4

Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg(http://www.test.test/test.jpg): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/.french/mywebsite/mywebsite/upload_imagenes2.php on line 4

URL file-access is disabled

That explains everything. You cannot create the JPG with an "http://blah.com/whatever.jpg" address. Use a relative path.

i have "same" script using a relative path to upload files from my pc to server and works fine. when i try it using URL not work :(

But my server return me:

"URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration"

Wht say "is disabled"? Can I activate an option so that it works??

You can only enable it by building and installing your own PHP.

I believe your problem stems from the fact that, for security reasons, DreamHost has disabled allow_url_fopen in their default PHP install.

You have a number of options to overcome this limitation. Firstly, you can rewrite your script to use CURL instead of fopen.

Or, if you are feeling adventureous, you can compile and install your own local copy of PHP and change the options to suit.

A third option is to simply copy the existing PHP executable and ini file from the DreamHost install to a local directory and make any changes needed.
