Setting the allow_url_fopen PHP directive

This article discusses configuring the allow_url_fopen PHP directive on a managed VPS or Dedicated Server.

Configuring the allow_url_fopen directive

When the allow_url_fopen directive is enabled, you can write scripts that open remote files as if they are local files. Some applications may require that the allow_url_fopen directive is enabled on your system.

However, PHP does not allow you to set the allow_url_fopen directive in an .htaccess file. Instead, to enable this functionality, please open a support ticket on the A2 Hosting Customer Portal at https://my.a2hosting.com.
