Warning: main(): stream does not support seeking in /home/virtual/site21/fst/var/www/html/index.php on line 205

Started getting it since my host upgraded to PHP 4.3.2, funny thing is that the script works fine, and everything works, I just get it on the front page of BluesWeb.co.uk Sad

Seems to be a PHP 4.3.2 bug:

So you'd better stop including files via their URL! Twisted Evil

(unless these files aren't on your site Wink

)

I need to include a file with a query string in, it's the only way I can do it unless I can do it unless I rewrite the whole lot, believe me I tried.

PHP's developers are thick, if they are going to do that, why the hell do they give error messages? I mean JESUS CHRIST, it includes the file fine, but gives an error, what the hell is the point in that? It carries out a function perfectly, but then gives an error saying it can't be done.

If you put @include does that help? Also I would think that the error message isn't supposed to appear, thus why it's considered a bug Wink

Exactly, what annoys me, is it can't be an error, as it's running the code properly and the PHP is working, there shouldn't be an error message there Sad

Cheers Daniel, that fixed it and made a nightmare slightly easier, but it's a silly silly bug. what is the actual difference between the @include and include then?

@ in front of a function name hides any errors which may be output.
