error when calling google on my site.

Advanced search

[lorem]

I'm trying to pull up google (or any site) on my site. I've tested it on my site and locally, but it still does not work. I get the same message below. I just need to be able to display these sites on my page.

Warning: include(http://google.com) [function.include]: failed to open stream: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\googlesearch.php on line 5

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'http://google.com' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\googlesearch.php on line 5


Here's the code that I use for it.

Code:

1 include("http://google.com");

You can't "include" external site in includes. Try using an iframe/frame, or the curl method.

curl method:

Code:

1 $ch = curl_init();
2 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
3 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
4 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://google.com');
5 $output = curl_exec($ch);
6 curl_close($ch);
7 print $output;

I agree, you can't include external site in includes.  Additionally, I have always had trouble with google and now use yahoo with a great deal less issues.

I am getting the same error message. If someone can help me I would really appreciate it. I am running a Mac with 10.4.11 OS.

Try enabling allow_url_fopen in your php.ini, than using the fopen(); function to incude the remote data.
