Hi Jonah,

You are the first person to report this problem, that functions is enabled by default in PHP and is only a security risk if the code is using it wrong, we are not even using it direct we are using it via another php function…

I would suggest trying to enable t in a php.ini

WebSynthesis has things pretty locked down unfortunately. I tried enabling it via .htaccess and php.ini but no go. I’m also asking them if they can make an exception…

If you guys can’t do anything about it either, I guess I’ll need to either switch hosting or throw in some code to skip the preview page.

Thanks for your help!

let me know if you get anywhere with your host, it might be possible to write a function to get the absolute url to server and not the http version which might bypass it.

Hey Stiofan,

My host won’t budge on enabling the function. I’ve hacked in a pseudo loading page and I’m auto submitting from there to finalize the listing and that works pretty good. No need to work on a function unless you absolutely want to.

Thanks anyway!

Hey guys – thanks for this discussion!!!
I’ve had the same problem – and after reading this found out that hosteurope sets “allow_url_fopen” to off as standard. But you can easily switch it on from the scripts settings … so now it should work.
Thanks again,
Tom
