From php.net documentation:

A URL can be used as a filename with this function if the fopen wrappers have been enabled. See fopen() for more details on how to specify the filename.

And here is explanation about fopen wrappers: http://www.php.net/manual/en/filesystem.configuration.php#ini.allow-url-fopen

Check your php.ini and find allow_url_fopen option. It should be enabled to use this functionality

You probably have allow_url_fopen disabled on the server. Enable it to get your code to work.
