That error indicates that fopen failed to open the requested file. Given 
that the URL works fine in a browser, is it possible that your php is not 
configured to do remote fopen? Check the setting of allow_url_fopen in 
phpinfo()

It is a good idea to test the result of such calls before trying to use 
the result:

fopen('Whatever') or exit('Couldn't get it, Boss!');

or

if(fopen('whatever') {
  do good things;
}else{
  bleat vigorously;
}
