To open a file that has a space in the URL I have to use:
$URL = str_replace(" ", "%20", $URL);
$handle = fopen($URL,"rb");


Is there a standard way of doing it? urlencode() does not work.

urlencode replaces spaces with plus signs, if you want %20's, try rawurlencode.

I tried that one too and they did not seem to return a valid URL, both PHP and browsers failed on the resulting URL.

Can you show me the code? It seems to work for me, but you may be doing things differently.

I have a teory, the URLs are coming partly as a parameter from the HTML code and partly from a text file. The bits from the HTML must be encoded already if they have spaces. So that would mean encoding it twice and that probably generates an invalid URL. My method would be immune against that since it only replaces spaces.

$filename = $HTTP_GET_VARS['file'];
$servers = file($filename . '.txt');
$server = some line from $servers...
$URL = $server . $filename . ".avi";
$URL = str_replace(" ", "%20", $URL);
$handle = fopen($URL,"rb");
