		At first look , this code is not vulnerable and we can only read remote files.
		
		<?php
		
		if (empty($_GET['url'])) {
		exit;
		}
		if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
		$url = @parse_url(stripslashes($_GET['url']));
		} else {
		$url = @parse_url($_GET['url']);
		}  
		
		.....
		
		if ((!empty($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']) &&
		$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == $url['host']) ||
		(!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) &&
		$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == $url['host'])) { 
	 
		.....
		
		
		if (!empty($_GET['untrusted'])) {
		readfile($_GET['url']);
		exit;
		}  
		
		?>
		
		But parse_url is only a set of regular expressions and we can use nullbyte to deceive function.
