Script To Connect To Delete Contents Of A POP3 Mailbox
I have written a PERL script that I can run through bash, that will take in a mail server address, username and a password, login and then delete all of the mail contained within the user's mailbox. Now I've battled to create a web interface so that my non-linux colleages can use easily wherever they happen to be, but just cannot get to work. So, I decided it would be easier to use PHP to create the script and use $_POST to grab the address, username and password from a form and then process the connection/deletion.

File Get Contents - Timeout

File Get Contents .limitation?
See this simple file_get_contents code <?php $link= 'http://www.example.com' $content=file_get_contents($link); echo $content; ?> I tried the code with these links: 1. http://www.example.com (...worked OK. Also tried google.com, yahoo.com,... all OK.) 2. http://www.example.com/buy/chess (...$content captured an error page instead of the result) 3. http://www.example.com/chessmotifs (...$content returned nil, ... totally nothing. This is the one I need the code to work btw.) Could this be because the site (in this case cafepress) uses some sort of scripts to generate their sub-pages? If yes, is there an alternatif method to "file_get_contents" that allows a page to generate fully before capturing?

Basic File Get Contents Errors
I'm a newbie and have been learning PHP on and off for a while now.

However, one of the pieces of code written by another programmer is simply baffling me at the moment, and I think it may be due to the fact the code was badly written for a much older version of PHP compared to the version the site is on now with my new host etc The code should be searching for images from one of my suppliers websites but it runs and does nothing at all...I have checked the suppliers URL's and they match the code so what is going on here....am I missing something really simple?

Printing The Contents Of Each File In A Directory
I've been trying to create a PHP page that reads each file in a directory (txt, for example), and then outputs the contents of the file. The purpose for this is for someone advertising products for a website, so that he can use a form to describe the product, and then saves each entry as a new txt file. I then want the php to print the contents of the file. I've set it up so that it is html code, so formatting is not an issue. I've figured out how to read the contents of a single file, using file_get_contents. I can also display each file NAME from the directory. However, when I add file_get_contents into the loop, the php script wont run. Here's what I have so far: <?php $handle = opendir('sales'); if($handle) { while(false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { print "$file <br>"; $contents = file_get_contents($file); print "$contents <br>"; } closedir($handle); }?> I've tried using seperate php entries and also had a play with readf and such, but can't seem to get anything to work. It seems like a common thing to want to do, and I've probably just made a small mistake somewhere?

Place File Contents Into Table On Page
Hi all. Am new to PHP and trying to get the following to work. I dont know if it is possible at all, and would appreciate any help. I have a folder called Books. It contains an htm page called books.htm which has some graphic elements on it. It also contains a file (either excel or csv, or tab delimited.... whichever will work best in this situation). This file contains two columns. 1st colums-1st row contains an image name (e.g. alice.gif). And the 2nd column-1st row contains a text discripition (e.g. Alice in Wonderland....bla bla..). And so on for the next rows. The folder also contains the actual 'alice.gif' and all images that are listed in the 1st column. What i am trying to achive is thus:- When the books.htm page is called. I want the table in the file to be recreated on the page under the existing graphic elements. In that table, instead of the image names in the first column, i want the actual image (which is present in that folder), to be planted there in that specific cell on the htm page!
