I'm familiar with the phrase. I believe it involved passing an
object to a private function prior to rotation.

Perhaps something very low-brow simple could work for a short-term
solution, while you code up the fancy internal PHP CVS functions one:
<?php
define('PATH', '/full/path/to/working/copy');
function cvs_checkout($file){
cd(PATH);
exec("cd PATH; cvs co $file", $output, $error);
echo implode("", $output);
if ($error){
trigger_user_error("OS Error: $error", E_USER_ERROR);
}
}
?>
The remaining functions are left as an exercise for the reader. :-)

Thanks Chris and to everyone else who actually replied with some useful
info, it's much appreciated. I am going to code this up myself with
wrappers around the cvs commands I need. It would have been nice if there
was some sort of framework for doing this already.
The reason I joined this list was to try and get some helpful insights not
to face a barrage of emails about my signature. OK so I sent a message with
a signature I should have stripped out, big deal. Anyway, that's the end of
the matter on the signature from me.
Thanks again to all those who replied with constrictive comments.
Cheers,
Adrian.

I have a small file to be transferred between two computers every few
seconds. I'm using unix with a bare bones version of php, i.e. just the
original thing that gets installed when I run "yum install php". As there is
no webserver on any of these machines, I was wondering if there is a way to
transfer a small file between them and if there is, could someone be kind
enough to provide me with an example please?
Thank You

Don't use php, use rsync (http://rsync.samba.org/).
It's fast, only transfers differences between the files, can work via an
ssh connection etc...
I guess you could also use a samba or an nfs mounted drive, but that may
depend on whether the machines are in a local environment or not (I
certainly wouldn't do it across an open internet connection, only via a
LAN connection).

This is much easier using unix/linux commands than using php. Any
reason for using php instead of scp /path/file [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/ or other
facilities?

If you want to use rsync and scp in a cronjob (for continuous transfer at a
predefined interval), you may need to set your server (read ssh) to accept
connection without password.
Ref : http://linuxproblem.org/art_9.html
BUT If you really want to do that from PHP, you can install a web server and
enable http as your stream for opening files. (In php.ini)
You can read the file using fopen or any other file functions, then can
write that file to the server on which script will be running, then you can
set this script as your cron job.
For example :
$filecontents=file_get_contents("http://firstserver/file.txt";);
$fp=fopen("path to local file", "mode");
Now use $fiiecontents to write the file using $fp resource.
BUT remember, using rsync is always a better solution, and file_get_contents
and file functions are resource hungry, specially they will consume more
memory of your system.

Thank you all so much for replying... I guess I was very vague in
describing the situation. I will write in detail:
I have three computers A, B and C. To login to B and C I should use A
because it has a SSH key. I don't have any other way of accessing these
two computers. Now, if I need to transfer a file between B and C, I am
unable to find a way that would work... because I don't know how to
authenticate without SSH keys... I was gathering some data in B and C
using PHP. Now, I need these two computers to coordinate a little and
didn't want to use a server in between and so I was thinking of
establishing a direct connection between them..

If you have ruled out web server and ssh, then you can use ftp using PHP or
use NFS mounting.

Well I haven't ruled our webserver and ssh but I don't have much
options. Number 1 is that I have many such computers and I don't think I
can afford to install a webserver on all of them atleast. And coming to
SSH, I can't use it because of the scenario that I explained. Please let
me know if you have any other advice.

You can use ssh key forwarding on b & c - so when you log in to a, they
accept the key straight away.
Or set up passwordless ssh between b & c.
http://blogs.translucentcode.org/mick/archives/000230.html
Though this:
chmod 644 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
should probably be:
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
so nobody else can even read the file.
and I always:
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
Not much in here related to php though :P

I second the NFS mounting. You can share a directory somewhere on
computer A. Then computers B and C connect to it. That way with PHP
you just copy the file to the shares, and computers B and C
automatically see the file there. Outside of that FTP might work well
for you. Maybe even SCP, since you already have the keys on server A
(as long as you don't have a password when connecting to B or C). rsync
can work over SSH as well, and you could create a simple script to run
rsync as often as you need.
haha, I guess that's not exactly seconding NFS, more seconding not
transferring files over HTTP.

Yeh - looks like you have to log in to "A" and then it uses
key-forwarding to let you log in to "B" and "C":
---
To login to B and C I should use A because it has a SSH key. I don't
have any other way of accessing these two computers.
---
ie B & C can't talk to each other directly (that's my understanding anyway).

You can use netcat (nc), but that doesn't run in daemon mode. You can
use them both ways (client / server, sending / receiving). You can use
them on the commandline with a cronjob or whatever.
Netcat makes it possible to do this, to send content over to port 2200
of 192.168.1.1:
cat textfile.txt | nc 192.168.1.1 2200
On 192.168.1.1 all you do is something like this:
nc -l -p 2200 > textfile.txt
I don't know all the options in depth and may not work like scp does
(which is way more secure).
So I would go with scp in a cronjob, but netcat is still an option.

Here's overkill: use "fuse" to make two sshfs filesystems :)
# Make some directories to mount the remote stuff onto
mkdir -p mount_point_for_B
mkdir -p mount_point_for_C
# Use 'fuse' to make SSHFS mounts from the remotes to the new directories
sshfs B:/path_to_where_the_file_is mount_point_for_B
sshfs C:/path_to_where_the_file_goes mount_point_for_C
# Copy the file across: repeat this step every few seconds (cron job?)
cp mount_point_for_B/the_file_to_copy mount_point_for_C
# Unmount the SSHFS mounts when you're finished
fusermount -u mount_point_for_B
fusermount -u mount_point_for_C
Still not PHP though...
