WARNING main(): stream does not support seeking WORKAROUND

Some of you may experience this error with some of your scripts. This error only appears to occur when processing PHP includes/requires which reference URLs (absolute
rather than relative paths). There are a few workaround but no clear fixes for this issue. Here are your options starting with the simplest.

Create a .htaccess file and put this in it

Code:

php_value error_reporting 0

then save this in your root directory

You can also try these fixes:
if this is your code

Code:

<?php 


include('http://nowhere.com/file.html'); 


?>

Suggested fixes:

Use relative paths rather than absolute URLs when including files stored locally on your account

Example:

Use this:

PHP Code:

Code:

<?php 


include('/home/userid/public_html/directory/file.html'); 


?>

...instead of this:

PHP Code:

Code:

<?php 


include('http://your_domain.com/directory/file.html'); 


?>

also:

When including remote files located outside of your domain try using @include, to suppress the error
message, rather than include

Example:

PHP Code:

Code:

<?php 


@include('http://somedomain.com/file.html'); 


?>
