SOLUTION:
Turns out my newer HOST upgraded or was already running a newer version of PHP which disallows
URL file-access. Previously ON and is now OFF. I did not bother contacting them (I have not had much luck with the new company)
After countless searches and some revisiting my code. I found this solution.
fopen_url, curl and You
Im kind of glad I kept searching!!! never give up!

Code revision:
Was:
<?php @readfile('http://www.mysite.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=randomImage&g2_show=none&g2_itemId=68&g2_exactSize=450'); ?>
And is now:
<?php
$curl_handle=curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_URL,'http://www.mysite.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=randomImage&g2_itemId=69&g2_show=none&g2_exactSize=450');
curl_exec($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);
?>
All,
I have been running G2 for some years now. and have a site thats been untouched for about the same time.
I just revisited it and noticed my images were not loading... at least on some of the pages.
What I do know is some 8-12 months ago my hosting site got aquired by another vendor and my site went with it.
I never thought to check and see if all was well.
Things I have tried:
1: Right from a web page:
http://www.mysite.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=randomImage&g2_show=none&g2_itemId=68&g2_exactSize=450'
Results: I get good images that change.
However when I embed it into a web page... excluding the random text, I get blank space...(no pics)

<?php @readfile('http://www.flashyourweb.com/gallery2/mediaBlock.php?g2_itemId=32&mode=dynamic&g2_view=dynamicalbum.RandomAlbum&limit=2&useThumb=1&column=4&rss=1');?>
<?php @readfile('http://www.mysite.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=randomImage&g2_itemId=69&g2_show=none&g2_exactSize=450'); ?>
<?php @readfile('http://www.mysite.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=randomImage&g2_show=none&g2_itemId=68&g2_exactSize=450'); ?>
Some more test text.

Any ideas what could have gone wrong? I have poured over this and just cant seem to find the solution.
TIA- Sam
