I have a script that needs to read the output, not the file itself, from a local
php file using its absolute address.

Normally I'd simply use $handle= fopen(http://www.whatever.com, 'rb')

However, the webhost [Powweb] just changed their system to use "load balancing"
servers. Now, my script must use the fopen() with a hack as such:

$handle= fopen(http://local.whatever.com, "rb")

But, but, it doesn't work when my script is started from a cronjob, only from a
remote browser.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.....
