OK - my server said it disabled "remote" fopen, but that fopen will work for all local files.

Can someone help with the following:
How do I rephrase the following so that it will work /reads as local:

$ff = fopen($ttb_alicelocation . "?input=" . urlencode($rss),"r");

where

$ttb_alicelocation =
"http://www.mydomain.com/forums/upload/alice/src/talk.php";

Could I use something like:

$ttb_alicelocation = "/forums/upload/alice/src/talk.php"; ....ps...that is not working, maybe I'm writing it wrong?

or should I change the $ff = fopen....... to something?
