Good morning
I have just been browsing the web for help with a php problem that is
driving me mad. I didn't want to post to the site so hope that this email
may get a response. I thank you in advance.
I am learning php myself(self-learning) but just can get me head around this
error.(lack of knowledge L)
With regard to [function.file-get-contents] can anyone explain this error to
me...please :-)
Warning:
file_get_contents(http://www.ecofriendz.com/groups/orca/?action=group_last_t
opics&forum=Bea-Tropical&trans=1) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to
open stream: Connection refused in
/home/sites/ecofriendz.com/public_html/inc/classes/BxDolGroups.php on line

I cannot resolve this issue. any help will be gratefully appreciated.
With Kindest Regards

sounds like you are not allowed to access URL on the internet.
There is a setting within PHP that either allows or denies you the ability to
access remote URLs like the one in your example.
You will need to make sure that in your php.ini configuration file that you
have allow_url_fopen set to '1' and that it is not diabled.
Here is the page that references these settings:
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ini.php#ini.list
It is the second one in the big list of things. I noticed that they also
added a new one as of v5.2.0 It is for the allow_url_include You might need
to do something with this also. Not sure.
But, I would start with making sure that the allow_url_fopen is set to '1'.
If you need to change the value, make sure that you restart your web server so
the settings will take effect.
Hope this helps.
