Hi
I am having trouble with a file transfer script, as you can see, I am
trying trying to keep the code as simple as possible.
But everytime I download a file with it, it is corrupt. For example, when
I download a small .rar file, just to test, it is always corrupt
('Unexpected end of archive'). I also cleared my browser cache just to be
sure, but same problem.
I just can't get my head around why it wouldn't be working as it is...
A couple of questions:
Have I got too many header requests?
Do I need to worry about output buffering, which is possibly corrupting
the file output (if so, please tell me what to do!)?
Is there an easier way to get returned response header and get a
redirected link, instead of finding and cutting strings?
Is there maybe something wrong with the structure or order of the header
requests, and/or returned headers etc?
Here is what I have so far:
<?php
//ob_start();
//ob_end_flush();
//ob_implicit_flush(TRUE);
$rslogin = '';
$rspass = '';
$link = addslashes(trim($_POST['link']));
function cut_str($str, $left, $right)
{
$str = substr(stristr($str, $left), strlen($left));
$leftLen = strlen(stristr($str, $right));
$leftLen = $leftLen ? -($leftLen) : strlen($str);
$str = substr($str, 0, $leftLen);
return $str;
}
// Get the full premium link, and store it in $full_link after the
redirect. *Surely* there is an easier way to get redirections?
if(strlen($link)>0)
{
$url = @parse_url($link);
$fp = @fsockopen($url['host'], 80, $errno, $errstr);
if (!$fp)
{
$errormsg = "Error: <b>$errstr</b>, please try again later.";
echo $errormsg;

Thanks to anyone who has already helped, I hope some genius can spot an
obvious error, because this is just beyond me!
:)
I'd be correct in assuming that you have opened up the download in a
text browser to see what you've actually recieved yes?
first thing to check... your doing a fsockopen, and posting a raw http
request, meaning your getting a raw http response back, which you're
echoing straight out, so you should expect to have full http headers and
quite possibly http chunked content, rather than a nice file..
use file_get_contents with a stream_context holding all your http
request headers instead, as an easy way around it.
or check out the http class, or use zends http class, or create a quick
chunk decoder - whichever you do, first step is to actually check the
raw content and verify it's not just a raw http response :)

Glad I read threads that I don't care about or I wouldn't have found out
about Firebug! I just installed it, very cool!
it can definitely make your day less painful :-)
Also, considering the price of oil/gas, I'm sorry that the 'war for oil'
didn't work out the way we had hoped. You would have thought we would
have learned in WWII when we started the 'war for strudel'. Have you
seen the price of strudel? It went up during WWII and has continued to
rise.
I'm not much a strudel fan, unfortunately I'm just as hooked on oil as the next
man ... the point I was making is that alot of the 'problems' encountered in
'cyberspace' aqre pretty lame compared to the crap going on in meatspace.
the iraqi that just watched his wife and children mowed down by 'friendly fire'
probably doesn't care too much that pear.php.net crashes IE6.
I would call you a dumb ass, but you seem very knowledgeable in PHP and
I may need some help in the future :-)
nuff people would agree with you on the first part, some might credit me
with the second part and here's hoping I can offer some help of the third
part happens to pass.
credit given for a smarty comment ... appreciated :-)

When I use the mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers); command I
assign the value of $message as follows:
$boundary = md5(uniqid(time()));
$message = "
--$boundary
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
blah
--$boundary
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
<b>Blah</b><p>
--$boundary--
";
I would like to be able to include a " in my message body --- both the
HTML and text version --- how can I accomplish this? (I use a " to
assign the value of $subject). I have been able to get \" to work ---
but \" shows when reading the e-mail, not just the ".
Thanks for your help

i am wondering whether this can be done. i know it can.
is it possible to make one website with the ability to host multiple
website.
it is something like website generator. eg: www.shopify.org
let say for example i have a website www.example.org.
i can point a domain name (www.example1.org) to the server where
www.example.org hosted,
and when user visit www.example1.org, it execute the same scripts as
www.example.org with
with different themes and website configuration.
anyone have the idea?
thanks

You can, in your code, check the $_SERVER super-global to see what domain name
was requested. You can then branch your code however you need to, just as
you can for any other conditional.
Have a look at the Drupal framework, which includes that exact feature.

Jeffry,
Yes, I built a site 7 years ago that could do this.
The primary site was like and administration/management console.
Then, in the background, there were a number of scripts that would run
the secondary website. All the secondary websites used the same source
directory. They referred to the $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] setting to figure
out which host name they were coming from / going to.
The site is still running today. Mind you that it needs some major
overhauling, but it is still used by about 400 domains clients.

Hi,
i'm currently learning php by implementing a blog system. This uses xsl for
transformation to (x)html. It is working so far, but it is slow.
As far as i can see the XSLTProcessor is doing a validation. Doing the same
transformation with xsltproc (the command line tool for libxslt) takes about
the same time. Adding the parameter --novalid to xsltproc speeds up things
dramatically.
Is there any possibility/option/parameter/whatever to stop XSLTProcessor
validation? I've found nothing in the documentation.
I hope i'm not wrong here. I'm new to php as well as to this list :)
regards
Siegfried Gipp
