What does the error 'php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution' mean? Pages that link to <a href="https://ozoneasylum.com/backlink?for=5778" title="Pages that link to What does the error &amp;#039;php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution&amp;#039; mean?" rel="nofollow" >What does the error &#039;php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution&#039; mean?\

It (along with some other errors involving fopen(), fread() and fclose() ) means that the site you are trying to open isn't currently available. You'll have to kill the errors on your page and detect when the page couldn't be opened.

It may also be caused by a "bug":

although the problem isn't technically a PHP one it is a DNS one. I don't currently know a solution to this.
