Strange results from file_get_contents using an url as filename

I'm getting unexpected data from my file_get_contents function using an url
as filename.

The function does not return false, i do get data from it. Problem is that
is is not the data is requested.


  $data =
file_get_contents("http://somehost.com/xmlonl.asp?custid=000000&prodid=00000
");

  if ($data)
  {
    ...


the string this function returns is the webpage from the default website of
the server where this php code is running at and not the data from the
remote site (which is not on the same server).

i tried the url from my shell on the server using telnet and it gets the
data i expected.

I can't figure out why php is getting the wrong results while telnet on the
same host gets the correct data. Is this a (known) error with php or is it a
apache/php/server configuration problem ?


regards,
Ewout
