Problem to access distant files - Windows blue screen of death

[Nicolas]

Hello,

On a Windows platform (XP SP2), using Wampserver 2.0, each time I try to
access a distant file with PHP:

$contents =
file_get_conten ts("http://www.google.fr/intl/fr_fr/images/logo.gif");
or copy("http://www.google.fr/intl/fr_fr/images/logo.gif", "logo.gif") ;
or any other function,

I get the blue screen of death and my computer restarts!

I tried to disable the firewall but it doesn't change anything.
The same code works without any problem on a linux platform.

Does someone have any idea of where it comes from?

Thanks,

Nicolas

If your computer restarts, it's no simple PHP or Apache error. Something
is very wrong. Even if this is not permitted by the settings
(allow_url_fope n) it should just generate a recoverable error. Try to
reinstall Apache & PHP. If that still fails with window rebooting, I
suspect there's nothing else for it then to reinstall Windows...
