I am developing a crawler. It has worked fine throughout testing until this morning, when suddenly it started yielding an access violation error. I have not been able to find any explanation of this. I've reduced the script to the following test code: ============================== <html> <head> <title>Test crawler</title> </head> <body> <?php $sURL = $_GET['URL']; echo('<p>Getting ' . $sURL . '<p>'); $sFileCont = file_get_contents('http://' . $sURL); echo('<br>Dump:' . $sFileCont); ?> </body> </html> ============================== Running this with various inputs, I get: ============================== www.ennex.com/util/php/test.php?URL=www.Google.com Getting www.Google.com PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 0A0591E4 ============================== www.ennex.com/util/php/test.php?URL=www.BadURL.com Getting www.BadURL.com Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known. in D:\WWWRoot\ennex.com\www\util\php\test.php on line 11 PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 0A11B8D6 ============================== The second result shows that it doesn't have to successfully open a stream to yield the error. The "file_get_contents()" function was working just fine throughout development of the script. Now it yields an access violation. Anybody have any idea what is going on? Thanks for your help.
