I think you can trust Richard on this one! and if you don't ... :-) ... then I bet you a beer he'd say we'll then, why not test it and see!

Hi Alan Everybody who wasted time to read my 1st Letter,
SORRY guys, I do deserve the scorn but it was genuine mistake I didn't want
to post garbage bugging other people.
I was under the impression that I was mailing to the HELP DESK( nonliving

If you can, Please do help me in my real PHP issue:
===
I am trying to print a remote header menu in a html page without frames.
The client side JS in located in this htm. (
http://www.dtcc.com/ThoughtLeadership/menu.htm )
I tried both INCLUDE, REQUIRE with no avail. I am a complete novice
beginner so can anyone help me a bit please?
The code I tried:
==
/HEAD

MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0
table width=778 border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0
tr
td background=images/1_12.gif

$lines = file($filename);
$line_number = mt_rand(0,sizeof($lines)-1);

$errors['getRandomLine'][] = File: $filename not found;
return FALSE;
}
}
?
/td
/tr
tr
td width=778 background=images/1_12.gifnbsp;/td
... On it Goes
Can you please let me know why can't print the remote HTM in the current
page (Though it is in a different domain)?

Just out of curiosity, why are you just printing a random line from the
file?
Then the next question is do you have your error reporting turned up:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
and display_errors = On in php.ini, only for a development server, or at
least a log file to look at, for a production server?
I'm going to assume that you've checked the source of your script output
and the random line isn't where you thout it would be?
The best thing to do would be to just print out the lines/files you are
trying to get, without the rest of the HTML, to see what your getting
from just the part your having trouble with.

Hi Edward,
I would simply like to print the remote Menu page(
http://www.dtcc.com/ThoughtLeadership/menu.htm ) in a new page.
I did the Error report print because I had no idea for what reason my PHP
code was working.
The menu is used as a header as well(the root file is JS which I can't use
as I don't know all the directories of dtcc.com )
I am simply trying to impress a non technical person of the company so I can
get a design contract.
How can print the menu in different domain html pages? ( I would like to use
PHP as server language)
Thanks,

Re: [PHP] how to post a question?
Hey,
Getting the code from the remote site is easy enough, you just gotto find
the images now, but heres something
that should get you the basic code including the javascript:
?php
$filename =
file_get_contents('http://www.dtcc.com/ThoughtLeadership/menu.htm');
echo $filename;
?
once you have the code, start converting the relative image paths to full
image paths,
should work.
Cheers,
Ryan

Re: [PHP] how to post a question?
Hey,
The problem might be with your php settings,
run phpinfo() and see if allow_url_fopen is set to ON
heres where i uploaded what i did so far, little more needs to be done
so that the mouseover images work:
http://php-php.com/a2ztips/test.php
The way I did it is in a *very very very dirty way*, I suggest you dump my
code and use a RegEx there (am too lazy to write one) instead of the
multiple
str_replace calls but my code should give you a good starting point.
?php
$filename =
file_get_contents('http://www.dtcc.com/ThoughtLeadership/menu.htm');
$filename= str_replace(../dtcc.css,http://www.dtcc.com/dtcc.css;,
$filename);
$filename= str_replace(images/,http://www.dtcc.com/images/;, $filename);
$filename= str_replace(/http:,http:, $filename);
$filename= str_replace(..http:,http:, $filename);
echo $filename;
?

That will let you see the HTML in your browser. If you don't get
anything then either your request is being blocked by a firewall or you
don't have fopen wrappers enabled. I'm betting on the latter though.
Are you running a local install of php or through a remote server? You
should be generating some kind of errors if your not getting anything back.

$o=array(../dtcc.css,images/,/http,..http:);

http://www.dtcc.com/images/banner_topright.jpg,http://www.dtcc.com/images
/thoughtmenu_r2_c3.jpg,http://www.dtcc.com/images/searcharrow.gif;);
$filename = str_replace($old, $new, $filename);
echo $filename;
echo done;
?
You would still have to replace the links to the full path instead of the
relative path that it now has.
The str_replace calls are kinda expensive IMHO, a good regex would be better
(like I said in my last mail)
another thing to note is sometimes the remote server times out or is too
slow so the script times out...
I hope this helped dude...will take down the page from there in a few hours.

Ryan

All you need to have in the page is this code:

you don't need this either:

Since it's a remote server, it's quite lilely that they've disabled
fopen wrappers. It can be a security concern for hosting providers. All
you can do is ask them if they allow it, they should be able to tell you
but I really doubt that they do.
You can check what they have configured php for by running this in a page:
?php
phpinfo();
?
That should give you a pretty page with a lot of information about what
is available for you to run through php.
Good luck!
