Contact your host, that might be an issue on their PHP configuration. Try with `file_get_contents` (or `fopen`) first to provoke the same error. If that doesn't give you the error, probably download the file first and then open from disk (temporary file). — hakre, Jul 22 '13 at 12:57

From the error it is clear that http://URL_HERE is not accessible from your server. Either you have network restrictions; or allow_url_fopen is disabled on your server.

Do you have access to your file when you type http://URL_HERE in your browser?

The problem might be access restrictions on your host, try to change chmod for example.

Yes, I do have access. its only a remote server. and it's working on my Local enviorment. and on the php version on the host is 5.2 so I guess its not the php version issue – D_R Jul 22 '13 at 12:14
So it's strange that you have a code 500 error on your request... Do you have some right restriction on your host? Such as not being able to open HTTP streams? It may be related to http://stackoverflow.com/q/4608788/2500474 – orion78fr Jul 22 '13 at 12:23
