I just got a notice from my ISP regarding some changes they are making in an effort to improve security. I don't know enough about the code running these forums to know whether or not it will affect me. I'm hoping one of the kind and knowledgeable folks here might know and give me some advice?

This is the message I received:

What will change:
-----------------

* The PHP value allow_url_fopen will be set to False
* Websites that use the PHP functions include(), require() or fopen() may not function in the same way.
* You will not be able to use the functions fopen(), include(), include_once(), require() or require_once() with a URL as the argument.

Does anyone know if this will cause me any problems?

Thanks in advance for any help, and I apologize if this is the wrong forum to post this!

1/3 won't be an issue; I'm not sure of 2 but afaik we don't have a URL for any include elements so it shouldn't be a problem
