fopen not permitted

[Lucidity]

Hi,

My ISP does not permit fopen calls globally. As Photoplog uses this to open images (I think ?), I guess it will not function on my live server ??

Is there a work around for this, if it is an issue ??

Cheers ...

PhotoPlog Lite uses fopen to create the directory structure needed for uploaded files, and safe mode must be off. There is no workaround available to circumvent the requirements of the script.

That's a shame, I really wanted to use photoplog on my site.

I wonder how much work is involved in converting the fopen function to CURL which I have done to some of my other scripts.

I have just tried photoplog lite on my test server with fopen disabled, and it works ?? It created a new folder for a new users pictures and seems fine .. so what does fopen being disabled in the php.ini actually affect the application ??

Seems not at the moment !! Excellent !!

PhotoPlog Lite uses fopen to create the directory structure. It does not use fopen to fetch a URL/remote file where allow_url_fopen would be required.
