From php.ini "Whether to allow the treatment of URLs (like http:// or ftp://) as files." In latest versions of php this option is set to secure mode of operation by default (as far as i know): allow_url_fopen = Off This option prevents such type of attacks.
Just so that we can set the record straight I checked the manual at php.net.
