Can't Read Remote Web Page From Local Apache/PHP
I'm trying to read the contents of any Web page on another
host. I'm finding that...
echo file_get_contents( 'http://www.php.net' );
.... works fine if I upload the PHP script to my Web host, and run it
there. But if I run it on my PC, which is running Apache 1.3.33
(Win32) and PHP 5.0.5, then it always times out, and gives me the error
message...
[error] PHP Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.php.net) [<a
href='function.file-get-contents'>function.file-get-contents</a>]:
failed to open stream: A connection attempt failed because the
connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or
established connection failed because connected host has failed to
respond.
I get the exact same results using...
$fh = fopen( 'http://www.php.net', 'r' ) or die( $php_errormsg );
while (! feof($fh)) {
$page .= fread($fh,1048576);
}
fclose($fh);
echo $page;
Anyone know what could cause this to happen?

Download Files From Remote Server To Local Webserver
I am trying to create a php page whereby people can download files from a remote server to their own server (to update their webdirectory with updated files/images etc).

Date Function On Local Server To Remote Host
This little combo was giving me Sunday, April 30 on my local server and Thursday, April 1 on my remote host, and I can't for the life of me figure out why. I could swear it used to work. PHP Code: $today = gmmktime(0,0,0,date('m,d,Y',gmmktime())); echo gmdate('l, F j', $today); (The first function gives me a "midnight" time stamp, so all dates put into the db, and compared to it, are consistent). When I rewrote it thus, it worked fine on both hosts: PHP Code: $m = date('m',gmmktime()); $d = date('d',gmmktime()); $y = date('Y',gmmktime()); $today = gmmktime(0,0,0,$m,$d,$y); Any idea what the heck is going on?

How To Process A Local File Rather Than Just Read It
I can read a local file with fopen("myFile.php"); However this gives me the source of the file (i.e. php code). I want to get the results of the file after it has been evaluated (i.e. HTML). The obvious way of doing this is include 'myfile.php' However, I want to process the evaluated result. For example: echo htmlentities( include 'myfile.php' ); This doesn't work because the result of the include statement is true or false rather than a string. I'm sure this is very simple, but I'm just learning.

Copying File From Hosted Remote Sever To Local Machine
I am trying to use php to automate the copying of a file from my remotely hosted directory to my computer. I have put together the following but it will only do the copying from one directory to another on the remote server. Reading the postings on these functions they suggest that it can be done but it appears to be the case if your are hosting your site on the same machine you want to copy the files to. Does anyone know if there are functions in php to do the transfer from remote server to my machine or if the code below will acheive this with modification? <?php $ftp_server = "xxxxxxxx"; $ftp_user = "xxxxxxx"; $ftp_pass = "xxxxxx"; $local_file = 'myfile.txt' $server_file = 'myfile.txt' // set up a connection or die $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to $ftp_server"); $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user, $ftp_pass); // check connection if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) { die("FTP connection has failed !"); } // try to change the directory to myfilesdirectory if (ftp_chdir($conn_id, "myfilesdirectory")) { echo "Current directory is now: " . ftp_pwd($conn_id) . ""; } else { echo "Couldn't change directory"; } if (ftp_get($conn_id, $local_file, $server_file, FTP_BINARY)) { echo "Successfully written to $local_file"; } else { echo "There was a problem"; } // close the connection ftp_close($conn_id);

Local Apache Web Server Revisited
I would like to replicate an apache server on my home computer. Conclusions of a previous thread on this topic: 1) Use the same operating system for your local apache server as your host uses. Any comments on just how important this is would be very welcome because i am thinking of cutting a corner and running my local apache server on windows XP. My prospective host uses Linux. 2) There are some nice "neat, easy, tidy" installs of apache (with PHP and MySQL) available. easyphp AppServ XAMPP Any comments on which one is best would be highly appreciated. As would further suggestions. 3) Things that I want to do which are a bit special: ) Use the PHP IMAP functions. These are a PHP extension. http://uk2.php.net/imap So, I will have to add this extension. How easy is this with these local apache servers? ) Does anyone know an IMAP email client that I can put on my local host apache server? courier-imap or CyrusIMAPD are apparantly possibilities. Can anyone point me to any reseources that would guide me through setting up these clients so that they are integrated with the apache web server - so that PHP code on the apache server could have access to emails in the IMAP email inbox. PHP code on the server can send emails from the IMAP email inbox.

Php Function To Read Local Python Script Output, Not Code
On my server python has to run in the wwwroot/cgi-bin folder, but php can run anywhere. My site is going to be written in python but I don’t want my user to see the url as mysite/cgi-bin/... . So for example my homepage, index.php should contain a simple php script that will get my python page from the cgi-bin directory and display it. However when I try to use SSI or fopen/file_get_contents/readlink and commands like these it just displays the python code. Where as when I visit the python page in my browser it runs it and displays the output for me. My question is what php function can I use to execute my python page and return the output, not the code itself. (I think my hosting provider has disallowed certain powerful commands like system() etc. Does this make it impossible?). As the very least can’t my php script pretend to be a www user and ‘visit’ the python page to read the output?

Time Different Between My Apache Server And My Local Clock
I actually have two questions: 1. I try to get current time, but the time I got is 1 hour different from my local time. I assume it is caused by Time Zone. So is there any easy way to fix this? I assume that I can first get the Time Zone of the server by using the T option in date, and then using my local Time Zone to calculate the difference. But I am wondering if there is some buil-in function to do it. 2. I found out this also today while workng on the same project. My apache clock is 10 mins slower than my local clock. Any suggection to calibrate the apache server clock (I don't own the server)?

Read The Username That They Logged In With Through Apache?
I am using my webhost's username and password system, which generates .htaccess and .htpasswd user verification (Bluehost). I want users to login to the password protected subdirectory (let's say www.example.com/clients/) with the browser's default login dialog box, which is all automated by Apache and the web browser... But once they are logged in, I want the target page (www.example.com/clients/index.php) to read the username that they logged in with and redirect them to a subdirectory with that name (www.example.com/clients/username/). Is there a way for PHP to read the username that they logged in with through Apache? Perhaps some kind of HTTP request that will return the username as a variable?

Php MySQL Works On Remote Server, Only Partially On Local Server
code to populate form select fields with data from a MySQL database, so a user can use those to sort/filter and view the 3,000 records. No inserts -- just selects; very simple. I originally set this up using URL-based query strings at http://stjuliana.org/school/ar/BUindex.php but since that only allowed sorting and not filtering, hence all 3k records load, I made a form verson at http://stjuliana.org/school/ar/index.php . Everything works just fine, however, there's still a lot of tweaking I want to do, such as splitting the form input and output into two pages (_blank), having a printable version, etc. To that end I just set up the latest builds of Apache, php and MySQL on my local Windows XP box, lest I blow my beer budget for the month on bandwidth overage. <g> I have a very simple page I used to test my localhost setup and everything's fine. I can connect to MySQL, create, insert and select from DBs, so I know my config is fine. All my other .php pages on this site work fine locally as well. The two abovementioned pages, however, are giving me fits when run locally... For the URL-query-string version, it loads up with the default view (=name_ns), which grabs all records and sorts by name and point asc. No matter which of the other sort 'views' I might choose, it still loads up all the records in that default sort. The server's holding on to something and I don't know how to clear it. The remote version correctly sorts based on the query string chosen. The form version is worse. It connects to the DB and populates the select boxes with the field data -- that part's fine. But no matter which submit button is selected, no data is retrieved. I get no error, but no data either. The form's action is set to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and I've tried both GET and POST -- no change. Since the exact same pages work on the remote server I know it has to be something on the local setup. But where do I look if there's no obvious error? This is probably something incredibly basic but I'm bleary-eyed from reading tutorials and forums all over the Internet and can't come up with anything.

Can't Read Form Variables After Reinstalling Apache
I reinstalled Apache (2.0.52) and added the appropriate lines to run php scripts to the bottom of the httpd.conf file. The scripts run fine (for example, 'print "Hello!"' yields "Hello!" rather than displaying all of the code (which would occur if the php script wasn't being processed by php.exe first). However, variables passed from a form are read as null/empty. Any idea why, and/or how I can fix this? I found it hard to believe that there would ever be a configuration setting for that kind of thing (since it's the 'meat and potatoes' of server-side web scripting), but I looked through the httpd.conf file extensively nonetheless and could find nothing that looked like it could be set to adjust for this. I'm having the same problem now when I install it on my Linux system as well.

Link To Local Files Through A Dynamic Page
I decided to flesh out my php skills by building a web application which could scan through local files on my intranet (specifically mapped drives on my server) and generate a list of Movies or pictures or music, etc. Which worked fine, I created the code to do that and to store the results in a mysql database. I can even print it out to a ..php page and sort it however I like. What I can't seem to do is to create links to the data I've indexed in a way that will let me open them from the generated php page. I've searched and searched and there just doesn't seem a way to do this. I'm pretty sure I've exhausted the obvious options. The following trials did not work when the document was served from an apache web server. <?php echo "<h1><a href=file:///c:/temp.txt> HEY </a></h1>"; echo "<h1><a href=file:///c: emp.txt> HEY </a></h1>"; ?> <a href=file:///c: emp.txt target="_top"> temp.txt </a> <a href=file:///c:/temp.txt target="_top"> temp.txt </a> When the same page was loaded directly from the file instead of served through apache the bottom two links worked. This doesn't really help me however. I need to be able to dynamicly generate pages that link to the files. I've read that browser security is the restricting factor in this but changing all of my security settings in IE to low didn't seem to affect it (not sure what the equivalent of security settings is in Firefox). Does anyone know of a way to link to local files directly in a way that lets you open them directly from the source instead of by downloading them to a temp file or saving the file to somewhere locally? Is it even possible in PHP?

Can anyone here think of a fix that will allow it to just read the file once without executing the file. Basically this is reading the title tags of a page, and feeding this into a counter that requires the page title (this is what $title is). $url is grabbed from the current page that has been opened up in the browser. And from there - is supposed to be read (not executed). where the title can be grabbed, and passed to the counter.
