 * As I am looking at this a little closer and with fresher eyes, it looks to me
   as if it is the fopen() call that is failing because my Yahoo host does not allow
   fopen() and has php_flag allow_url_fopen off.
 * I am seeing that it is recommended for security reasons to turn this off and 
   for remote file access, consider using the cURL functions that PHP provides.
 * I am not a PHP developer so no clue what to do in this instance. I doubt I am
   able to enable fopen() before the call and then disable it after the call since
   this is hosted on a Yahoo server and wouldn’t even knw where to do this at. Any
   ideas?
