 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.

Reference: http://us2.php.net/filesystem

allow_url_fopen by default is set to On.
