There are some questions I am wondering about: - do I have to compile php with a special flag to do this? - how is it possible to run a php script periodicly? - can you mak a short example how to read from a nntp server?

Think about the datamodel for a usenet post. Each has a unique id and from there you are good to go. http://www.workbrazil.com/admin/kb.php That's a copy of a site I'm working on. I happen to use a Perl script that is run by cron and connects to a few newsgroups and uses filters to select messages (essentially email) and store them in a mysql table. That script could easily be written in PHP I guess. So you get the message and you re-arrange to fit the datamodel of your database and insert it. About the copyrights. I looked into this a bit and I'm not lawyer but I found nothing that said what I was doing would be wrong. I certainly reject any copyrighted material which is often posted but all that guy seems to be doing is to be reposting. In my case I'm actually culling data to repurpose and if I use chunks of posts from someone I give them credit. Here is the table I use to store data. I did this quickly and need to pare this down to the essentials.

I don't know, but it sure looks nice!

Hi guys, I just found a site where they have integrated a usenet forum into their own forum. I am wondering how this is technicaly done? The postings seem to be pretty up to date ( I did compare them with the usenet ones) Here is the link: http://britishexpats.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?forumid=43&s=e80f5f41207018 c5dd5751801faf1037 Has anybody an idea how they do this. I think the forum software is phpbb. But they do not provide such a function as far as I know. All the data inside phpbb comes out of a db usually. How is this done with copyrights anyway?

It's using vBulletin (www.vbulletin.com - the clue is in the page footer of the url you specified), not phpbb. There are a number of hacks for vBulletin that allow this type of functionality. http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=146348&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending As for how legal it is, I'm not sure, IANAL. -- Stuart -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
