Check if web hosting allows fopen

[denzel_chia]

I had encounter error on many web hosting when using the get_theme_data() function which uses get_file_data()in functions.php in wp-includes folder.

Many web hosting has disabled allow_url_fopen,
was thinking if it is possible to add some checks to get_file_data() to prevent fopen errors in this situation, by returning empty array if allow_url_fopen is disabled.

Thanks!

Shouldn't get_file_data() be used for local files only?

Yes, I am using get_theme_data() to get the theme information on locally installed theme, but was met with fopen error, because allow_url_fopen, if set to Off in php.ini will disallow fopen function completely. All web hosting has different settings, so was thinking of adding this check so that perhaps, it can fail silently.

I wasn't using get_file_data() to get any external site file.

Thanks!

Sorry, my mistake, should not have used get_stylesheet_uri() in get_theme_data(), there is http in url and that becomes "external file".

Please ignore this ticket.

Thanks!
