Thanks for the code sample. It pointed me in exactly the right
direction to solve what I was trying to accomplish.
Appreciatively,
Jon

php|architect's Zend PHP 5 Certification Study
Guide<http://www.amazon.com/architects-Zend-Certification-Study-Guide/dp/0973862149>
is solid; even for people whove programmed in php for a little while.
i learned a few things in there.
its a great starting point; and not too long either.

Could it be that I try to use if a customer has paid?
WHY would that be wrong?

NOW THAT is a strong word.
Are you really a sysadmin? or are you just a worker in an IT firm?
Have you signed a contract? or are you anyway just the cleaner there?
I am not sure what are you trying to do here.
Is this a list about php?
It seems to me that you are from the http://veryevil.org site?
How many systems have you already hacked?
How many systems have you already damaged?
Are you proud of that?
Go to my website (easy to find it out which one, right?) There you will
find the bank account number and the bank name.
Good Luck! I wish you a happy jail term!!!
NO answer please. PLEASE no answer!
Please go back to your room and think at least ten times what you
actually told us now about yourself!

I found in the meantime some code to play with. I also found a tutorial
I followed, but it was only to pull some web sites.
The challenge is to select so many things on the following pages.

That is the point I do not understand. Where is the risk? The bank
information is stored on the customers web site anyway, in order that
their user can pay. The only thing what is not there is the login
information.
I believe if we can use the out of the path credentials like we access
the sql server it should be same secure.
The bank does not allow transactions, it is only for viewing the last
100 days transactions.

Well, I will not try more than 3 times in a row with curl and than with
the browser. Thanks for the hint though.

That would be perfectly alright - in fact, my bank offers a transaction
list for download for just that purpose.

Hello,
I was wondering if this is possible? It seems in the apache mailing
list, that it is not possible per se, but any workaround thoughts?
If they say it's not possible I don't think you're going to get a
different answer here.
<LocationMatch "^/(.*)track">
php_value include_path .:/libraries/$1/php/lib
SetEnv PERL5LIB /libaries/$1/perl/lib
</LocationMatch>
in your init.php or common.php or whatever:
// include the existing 'include_path' and then add this folder on to
the end.
ini_set('include_path', ini_get('include_path') .
':/path/to/your/base/folder');
To get your current dir:
$my_directory = dirname(__FILE__);
and adjust that.
