So, you're running php4.0.4 and AIX webserver and after running the 
following code :
 <?php
   $fcontents = file('http://www.php.net/');
   while (list ($line_num, $line) = each ($fcontents)) {
     echo "<b>Line $line_num:</b> ". htmlspecialchars($line) ."<br>\n";
   }
 ?>
You get this following error :
  Warning: file("http://www.php.net/") - Bad file number in
    /path/to/file/file.php on line 6
  Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in
    /path/to/file/file.php on line 8
See the following open bug report

This appears to be AIX specific and hopefully this bug will be squashed 
soon.
