After you do the fsockopen, to get rid of the headers, insert this bit:
while (($line = fgets($socket, 1000000)) != "\n"){
//skip the headers
}
You may need to change "\n" to "\r\n" if the document is coming from a
broken Windows server. Or gmail, which seems to do everything the
Windows way.

Thanks for this, it seems to work generally ok, but with one problem.
If i get prompted to download the fie, there is no filesize
(content-length is missing), so i wouldn't be able to resume the file if
it was big!
I tried adding another function that gets the headers from the file first,
(to find the content-length), but instead I get an error message stating
'Cannot modify header information - headers already sent...', so I'm
thinking that i am now in a catch-22 situation. I need to get the headers
to find the content-length, and then send it to the browser to prompt the
download of the file with the correct filesize.
Also i noticed u used http 1.1, which i simply changed to 1.0 - hope this
is enough to avoid chunked decoding. I also changed the method to POST as
i need it.
so either is it a paradox, or am i just misunderstanding where the headers
should be placed?
thanks :)

Anyway, the core of the script is download the file as a string, print
it out as a string with suitable headers.

Subject: [PHP] How to download a file (with browser) using fsockopen() ?
Hi?
?
I have been working on this download script for quite a while, and I
just can't find how to download a remote file via a user's browser using
fsockopen.?
?
Basically I am wondering if anyone can just give me a simple working
example on how to use fsockopen() to fetch a file on a remote server,
and then pop up a save dialog box in my browser. For example, let's say
I want to download this file from here:?
?
http://remotedomain.com/file.zip?
?
Instead of putting this directly into my browser and then being prompted
to save it to my pc, how can i use fsockopen() to fetch the file, and
get the same prompt on my browser? E.g. I want to be able to do?
?
http://localhost/index.php?url=http://remotedomain.com/file.zip?
?
I know that this does not seem the most obvious and easy way to do it,
but i simply cannot get a file to download myself using fsockopen. I
specifically want this function, as I need to POST headers to the server
and I haven't as yet been able to download a file using it, without it
being corrupt, or the connection hanging. I just can't figure it out,
and I'm getting a bit tired with it!?
I don't need a whole hand-made script, I just need the part where
fsockopen will download this file. Perhaps a working function that would
do it. Please try not to use classes or objects because I haven't quite
figured out object-oriented programming yet!!?
?
Also, I would like if you can do it via HTTP 1.0 because I know HTTP 1.1
is tricky, and might require a chunk decoder, and i don't see the need
for it, unless someone is able to provide a working chunked data
decoder.?
?

If you want to do ANY kind of volume or have ANY kind of certainty
that somebody at least tried to deliver the message, then pay an
aggregator.
If you're setting it up to let grandma send you a text, use teleflip.

I got the email below, and it made perfect sense...
Though I am not sure it would make sense to somebody who hasn't used
GIS before, or at least read about it...
Ultimately, what you do is have a NEW datatype to play with called a
'geometry' or a 'gis' or whatever the SQL guys chose to call it.
You also have ways to create "points" or "lines" or "polygons" etc,
which are sub-types of geometries.
And, finally, you can put an index on one of these nifty 'geometry'
columns, and it uses a btree to sort the data based on rules that make
sense for the underlying 'geometry' data.
For a concrete example, you might do something like this:
create table store (
store_id int(11) autoincrement unique not null primary key,
address text,
city varchar(255),
state char(2),
postal varchar(15),
longlat gis
);
create index store_gis_index on store(longloat);
inset into store(city, state, postal, longlat)
values ('Chicago', 'IL', '60601', GisLongLat(41.885844, -87.618128));
As far as you're concerned, it just goes really fast by "magic" when
you try to look something up by being "close to" a given LongLat.
Somewhere down in the guts of the DB, there is something to order the
data by both long and lat in a btree to find things quickly that are
"near" each other.
This is actually pretty OT for the PHP list itself, really, unless you
want to try to implement GIS in PHP, which would be a particularly Bad
Idea (tm) due to the scale, scope, and calculations involved.
Perhaps a Postgres GIS list or the MySQL list would be of more use, or
a Geography/Cartography database list.
You could probably achieve a SIMILAR performance level for something
as simple as long lat with:
create table store (
/* same columns as before */
long float,
lat float
);
create index store_long_lat_index on store(long, lat);
It wouldn't be QUITE as efficient, perhaps, as the ordering of the
btree for a GIS column might put more weight on the "lat" part
somehow, rather than just plain sorting by long, and then by lat...
But you have to have an AWFULLY large index for that to matter, since
the depth of the btree the same size, and only for specific clumped
data will it make any difference, I think.
Disclaimer:
I am NOT an expert on this stuff, but I have messed with it a tiny
bit, and this is my best understanding from my research so far.

If you want GIS to be useful for that, you'd have to pretend that
something like "type" was, say, longitude, and "category" was latitude
and keyword was height, and then convert back and forth and...
If you can create ONE index in MySQL that contains ALL your WHERE and
ORDER BY fields, then you are golden.
MySQL can only use ONE index per query.
If your query uses WHERE clauses and/or ORDER BY clauses of fields
that are NOT in your index, then it will be "slow"
create index shopping_index on shopping(type, category, keyword, etc);
is probably going to be far more maintainable and provide a similar
performance boost.

Err, sorry, but I must correct you there. PHP is used as one of the more
common GIS (Web mapping at least) languages. I use it extensively with
the UMN Mapserver (mapserver.gis.umn.edu) as PHP/Mapscript which you
compile into PHP as an extension to access your map data. The OT part
comes in with the actual guts of the db transaction, and the AJAX based
interfaces that everyone insists on these days.
PHP in this case is an extremely important aspect of web mapping, and I
have even used PHP to interface to GRASS and other GIS apps (OK now
_this_ is starting to be a Bad Idea(TM)).
Some of the largest web mapping and scientific apps run off
PHP/Mapscript (closest competitor is PythonMapscript).
Just to let you know...

Indeed, it does, but I don't have a spare to help with anymore.
The most I really did on mine was using it as a client (such as with
the Symbian version of PuTTY:
http://s2putty.sourceforge.net/download.html). Still debating what
device I'll get next, but I want to use it as a mobile server myself.
I had been working on a bound-for-trash PDA doing the same a while
back, but with what we'll refer to as "limited results."

I think that the key here is
1. A decent ARM processor and a PHP build for ARM specifically (new
project??)
2. Enough RAM to be useful - at least figure out how to use a SD card or
something as a RAMDisk and use like a 2GB card?
3. Getting an entire LAMP stack on there as a package - no use messing
with things - otherwise people won't use it.
Just think of the possibilities though... I do a lot in the eLearning
sphere in PHP, and this type of thing could be a mobile eLearning server
for rural schools in Africa that is actually affordable! Students could
connect to it via thin clients or mobile phones and get an education all
in one.

I was going to do the same thing, but I started the framework from
a different perspective: portability across platforms to be used to
spider local and remote sites. I can punch in any valid URL and
recursively scan all public links, remove all HTML, put plain text
into the database, and (when it's actually working a bit better) I'm
going to use a Google-style response on search. For example, when
terms are found, show snippets of the terms with four or five words on
each side of the terms.
There are still some things I'd like to add in, should it be of
use to someone, including title searching, META searching, and blah,
blah, blah, but for now I'm just putting together the boring
foundation on which someone else can build the nice-looking house.

php should handle the conversion internally for you.
if you want to type cast a value to a string, simply do
(string)$varname

I was thinking about saying that, but php is loosely typed, so 54 ==
'54'. I'm thinking something else is wrong here.

i only mentioned the type cast because it was asked about; actually, there
are rare times in php when type casts are called for, such as pulling a
value
from a SimpleXMLElement. but that is neither here nor there..

I believe this is the difference with arrays:
$a = array(2 => "foo");
Array(0 => null, 1 => null, 2 => "foo")
$a = array("2" => "foo");
Array("2" => "foo")

i think the implicit type casting applies there as well:
php > $meh = array(2=>4);
php > echo $meh['2'];
4
php > $meh['2'] = 5;
php > echo $meh['2'];
5
php > echo $meh[2];
5

Type casting shouldn't be an issue in this case. For example,
you're not trying to convert alphanumeric characters to int() (which
would actually go to boolean - 0/1), so when trying this case, the
condition is True:
<?
$rowA[] = 54;
$rowA[] = 63;
$rowA[] = 72;
$rowB['54'] = "Y";
$rowB['63'] = "N";
$rowB['72'] = "N";
if($rowB[$rowA[0]]=='Y') { echo "checked.\n"; }
?>
Because of the loose-typecasting nature of PHP (done on purpose),
'54' does, in fact, equal 54, unless otherwise specifically stated.

Yep, I use them all the time. I just meant that I wasn't sure this is
what was going to get the OP fixed.

php should handle the conversion internally for you.
if you want to type cast a value to a string, simply do
(string)$varname

I believe this is the difference with arrays:
$a = array(2 => "foo");
Array(0 => null, 1 => null, 2 => "foo")
$a = array("2" => "foo");
Array("2" => "foo")
not true:
alice:~ jochem$ php -r '
$a = array(2 => "foo"); $b = array("2" => "foo"); var_dump($a, $b);'
array(1) {
[2]=>
string(3) "foo"
}
array(1) {
[2]=>
string(3) "foo"
}
php treats anything that is the string equivelant of an integer as an integer
when
it comes to array keys - which comes down to the fact that you cannot therefore
use
a string version of an integer as an associative key.
so $a[2] and $a["2"] are always the same element.
the same is not exactly true for floats - although you can use them as array
keys you'll
notice in the output of code below that they are stripped of their decimal part
(essentially
a floor() seems to be performed on the float value. I have no idea whether this
is intentional,
and whether you can therefore rely on this behaviour:
alice:~ jochem$ php -r '
$a = array(2.5 => "foo"); $b = array("2.5" => "foo"); var_dump($a, $b);'
array(1) {
[2]=>
string(3) "foo"
}
array(1) {
["2.5"]=>
string(3) "foo"
}
alice:~ jochem$ php -r '
$a = array(2.6 => "foo"); $b = array("2.6" => "foo"); var_dump($a, $b);'
array(1) {
[2]=>
string(3) "foo"
}
array(1) {
["2.6"]=>
string(3) "foo"
}

For me:
* SVN (http://www.subversion.org/) for code/VCS
* Trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/) for Wiki, VCS viewing, tickets/tasks
+ more)
* Timing And Estimation Plugin
(http://www.trac-hacks.org/wiki/TimingAndEstimationPlugin) for tracking
time spent on given tasks)
* Work Log Plugin (http://www.trac-hacks.org/wiki/WorkLogPlugin) for
showing at a glance which tickets the devs are currently (or have
recently been) working on (and to add time automatically).
* Clients Plugin (http://www.trac-hacks.org/wiki/ClientsPlugin) To
track tasks specific to different clients and send edited highlights of
development automatically.
* Doxygen Plugin (http://www.trac-hacks.org/wiki/DoxygenPlugin) to show
doxygen generated code docs inside Trac.
Disclaimer: I wrote Work log and Clients. They integrate nicely with
Timing And Estimation which I also hacked on. There are lots of holes
and lots of improvements that could (and will eventually) be made.
Feel free to ask more questions, but the above works for me and my team.

I was able to create a working CURL connection and it was great.
Although, i have another problem.
1. file: connect - I connect via a CURL to a URL and sends two
parameters (application, just wait and hangs) -- this is intentional
2. file: connect - Receives a reply of the two parameters that i had
just sent
3. file: connect - sends a XML post to the remote url (remote url,
closes the connection and application)
Could i send two CURL request in one instance? while waiting?

I am not sure how to do that in a simple way with Curl. The few times I
have used Curl directly, I used custom HTTP requests instead of other
options.
Nowadays I use this HTTP client class that wraps the complexity of the
HTTP protocol and uses preferrably fsockopen to send HTTP requests. Take
a look the test_http_soap.php example which seems to do something
similar to what you want:
