[PHP] Alternative to cURL
Hello everyone, I want to send a form to a different server without user input. Auto fill a form ($_POST or $_GET). People will still click a link. So it could be a client-side sollution. cURL is the logical sollution but is there an alternative, client or server side. I was thinking about FSockOpen and putting a header() inside so the location in the browser looks like the other domain. Would this be possible.

Too much pittfals and too slow! Really the socket connection only
retreiving the headers is really the best way.
This function is what you need:
function fileStamp($domain, $file)
{
$file = "/" . $file;
$fp = fsockopen ($domain, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
$header = "HEAD $file HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: $domain\r\n\r\n";
if (!$fp){
echo "$errstr ($errno)";
return false;
}
fputs ($fp, $header);
while (!feof($fp)) {
$output .= fgets ($fp,128);
}
fclose ($fp);
$begin = strpos($output, "Last-Modified: ") + 15;
if($begin==15) //no last-modified (like yahoo.com)
return false;
$end = strpos($output, "\n", $begin);
$time = substr($output, $begin, $end-$begin-1);
return strtotime($time);
}

First of all you need to check with the website you are going to check if they really enjoy all bandwith required. And people will not see their banners anymore.

Hello, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Anders Thoresson) wrote > Is this a good start, or should I change anything? I'm not a OO expert but I think you could include the SetConfigurationFile () function in your contructor. And if it fails inside the constructor exit to your other class controlling errors.

Yes, bit basic but it should work. substr().
www.php.net/substr
$FirstPartIp = substr($ip,0,5);
if($FirstPartIp=='10.8.4' || $FirstPartIp=='10.8.5'){
echo 'We have a local IP, continue!';
}else{
echo 'Get out stupid hacker';}
Should work. An other way is exploding the IP by .
www.php.net/explode
$IpParts = explode('.',$ip);
$IpParts is now an array and you can check for the correct address.
Good luck,
