PHP: fopen No such file or directory error

Question

I am trying to access the falt files from another server to one server through fopen , i am able to access those file through file path in browser like

file://external-web.miami123.org/test/test123. but when i am trying to access those through fopen in php code i am getting no such file or directory .here is my code .

$arrContextOptions=array(
            "ssl"=>array(
                "verify_peer"=>false,
                "verify_peer_name"=>false,
            ),
        );

$file =  fopen("external-web.miami123.org/test/test123",'r','1',stream_context_create($arrContextOptions));
print_r($file);
exit;

is a webserver on the external server, or are you accessing the file system directly? — Ivo P

if you want to access it as a file (not on a webserver, as you implicitly suggest using file:// ) \\external-web.miami123.org/test/test123 And you may have to double that to 4 backslashes in php — Ivo P

Without specifying a protocol, PHP will search for a file on your computer named test123 under ./external-web.miami123.org/test.

TLDR: Use http: http://external-web.miami123.org/test/test123

when i am using the http i am getting HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

Well then your path is wrong and points to a location that does not exist. 404 is a perfectly valid http response. Check if it is correct.

check with your browser the http:// address and with your code the file:// address. Is there any possibility that you access your own computer?
