[PHP] is_readable(http://.... text file) says not, but I can in browser

[John Allsopp]

Hi

I'm sure this is simple for yous all but I'm not sure I know the answer.
       $myFileLast = "http://www.myDomain.com/text.txt";;
       if (is_readable($myFileLast))
       {
           $fh = fopen($myFileLast, 'r');
           $theDataLast = fread($fh, 200);
           fclose($fh);
           echo ("The dataLast: ".$theDataLast."<br>\n");
       } else
       {
           echo ("Last fix file unavailable: $myFileLast<br>\n");
       }

returns Last fix file unavailable even for a file that my browser can 
read. All I want to do is skip over files

This could be a very simple error, I'd appreciate a pointer. Is it 
permissions being different for PHP versus the browser or something? PHP 
is running on a different server.

Cheers
J
