As a quick caveat you need to be *very* careful you're not obfuscating the
target site copyright infringement, anyone?

At our company we solve this problem by including the second page in a 
frameset.  That's what I would recommend for you.

Someone_Elses_Dynamically_Generated_Page.html has 'link' to another Page.
I want My_Script.php to grab the a href="contents" of the 'link' and
redirect to it, right after.

The reason I want to do the above is, the first page dynamically creates a
session id and attaches it to the 'link'.. I need that session id to
continue on, and since this page is not on my server I cant control it..

Thanks..

We wont.. Their banners, logos, URL's etc. appear on the pages, so even if it is
in the frameset, it will be fine..

Yes, but their URL won't be in the address line.  Not that it makes
much of a difference, the site in question might actually care about
that.  A URL is as much a product brand as a logo is.

Re: [PHP] Dynamic Links..

2001-03-08 Thread Richard S. Crawford

Yes, I should have mentioned... we actually do develop contracts outlining 
co-branding agreements with our partners before we establish a frameset.

I should also mention that we don't use PHP for session tracking; we use a 
home-grown Perl/Oracle hybrid for session tracking.  But I imagine that 
establishing a frameset like this would work for PHP session tracking as well.

2001-03-08 Thread Ashwin Kutty

I dont want to get into a long drawn out debate about the copyright
infringements since we have already established our agreements with the
companies..

You are right of course, sometimes the URL does tell it all, and as I
mentioned, and if you read my note carefully, "Their banners, logos,
URL's etc. appear on the pages.."; mind you this is also not required by
the company in question, but we are doing it nonetheless.. Thanks for
the heads up anyways..

[PHP] Dynamic Links..

2001-03-07 Thread Ashwin Kutty

Hi,

I want ease the authentication process of the users on my network.. Now,
here is the problem..

I have a php script that re-directs to another company's page.. In that
page, there is a link to go forward, but that link has a session id in
it, that is dynamically generated when the page is called.. What I need
is the contents of that link, is there any way to grab it?

What I need is the contents of that dynamic link since it has a session
id..

So, for example..

test.php - othercompany.html - dynamic link from other company.html

Thanks..

Re: [PHP] Dynamic Links..

2001-03-07 Thread Chris Lee

you mean you want the url ?

$HTTP_REFERER

This variaable is set by the client's browser though, this means it may not be set at 
all, or could be forged. you will have to check against this.

I dont think this is what you mean though, email me I'll see what I can do.
