Put it this way:
If what you typed above *DID* work, what's to stop *ME* from copying
whatever I want onto your server?...
I see your point. Here in my case the server I want to copy a file on has
192.168.1.1 for IP address and thus cannot be found from outside a LAN, so
the security problem is not that much important. But I agree with you and
see what you mean.
You probably need to use cURL to login to your livebox, and then POST
the data into the newCrontab form handler.
OK I'm gonna look for information about that.
Thank you,
Laurent

You may want to try sending files via form upload. Then on the
destination end the you could have a PHP script that would take care of
authentication and receiving and storing the uploaded files.
In that case you may want to try this HTTP client class. It can act as a
normal browser submitting files via POST and also authentication, cookie
handling and redirection in case you want make a robust file copying system:

The destination server doesn't have PHP ....

It that case you need to use a different kind of file server support.
For instance, if it has Samba (Windows like file shares), you can try
this other class:

When you say "Livebox", are you in fact referring to the router given
out by your ISP? If so, what makes you think it's writable in the first
place?

by your ISP ?
Yes, that's it.
If so, what makes you think it's writable in the first place?
'Cause I work for this ISP ....

So you don't have specs then I guess, since you're asking in a public
forum! Have you considered using a HTTP PUT request (using cURL)?
php.net/curl
$curl = curl_init();
$file = "replacementfile.txt";
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/newCrontab');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_PUT, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, filesize($file));
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_INFILE, fopen($file, 'r'));
curl_exec($curl);
Note: you might need to set the CURLOPT_USERPWD option too.
This is my best guess at a solution, but obviously I've not tested it.

Bingo :)
Shitty product bought on the shelf from a third party, no specs, no doc ...

I'm trying it. Thank you.

Let me start by saying there is nothing wrong with the above and it's
doing exactly what the OP needed. However, when I use variable
variables, I prefer to use the following notation:
${$foo}
It makes the coder's intention clear and makes it so that it can't be
mistaken for a possible typo when someone comes in after the fact to
maintain the code.
And When I use this and when i use that. Oh i like this ^_^
Btw. my working buddys said on first view your example looked more wrong.
Try it and see. ;)
Try what? ^_^
And on top of that, i wont let anyone code in my PHP docs who doesn't
know what $$var is or does!!
Agreed. But there have been a few times when I accidently added in an
extra $ to the variable and, consequently, didn't get the results I
expected.
Never happened to me ;)
I mostly look at the screen programming :)

Let me try and answer my own question. I've *heard* that since PHP v4.3.2
file_exists() returne an open_basedir warning, but earlier PHP versions did
not. Is this true?

Perhaps you saw it here:
http://php.net/file_exists
Search the page for "ceo at l-i-e dot com" or "open_basedir".
