## #7123 — choinet — 2004-01-15T09:34:04+00:00

I was helping a user at my ISP support forums. Using
include on an http:// url generates "Warning: main():
stream does not support seeking in
/home/account/public_html/test.php on line 2". This
occurs for both external/same-server http:// urls.
Each of the servers I used run PHP 4.3.4, and I had no
warning on Windows as well as on another Linux setup
(server generating the warning runs Linux).

Searching the warning on google shows the first result
http://www.onaje.com/php/article.php4/43, which
mentions the problem on 4.3.4. I see two bug reports
dealing with this, #24053 and #26550, not sure if it
has been resolved yet in the snaps from reading the
report (I can't test it out since the ISPs run the
server that generates the warning). I don't know what
would be causing the warning to output (since it may
be assumed that an http:// stream does not support seeking).

I just verified what the other users at #24053 claimed (that Zend
Optimizer causes the warnings in http includes) on my Fedora testbed.
Also, looking at the phpinfo's of each Red Hat Linux server, only those
with PHP 4.3.4 on ZO (2.1.0) generated the warnings, not those with the
older 4.3.3/ZO. And, of course, no warning as expected on standalone 4.3.4
or 4.3.4/ZO on Windows. I'm thinking it may be Linux-exclusive(?)

Anyway, I know that Zeev and Andi are devs here and maybe we could get
some feedback on this?

I just saw this message now. I'll look into it.

Thanks,
