How Does VBulletin Check License?

License Check Via License Server?
I was wondering if a license server can be setup to use along with a script install on any server. This is the setup that I had in mind. I want some inputs on this if it would work or not. The Admin Control Panel main script would call the license server everytime it's run to check to see if this domain has a vaild license to use for this period.

On License Server Setup
MySQL to store the client data/license data.

Client No., Client Last Name, Client First Name, Domain Name, License Code, Purchase Date, Renew Date, Expire Date.

*Renew/Expire Date can be updated with a update script when license renew are purchase.
I don't know if this is a great setup. If anyone have any suggestions. I would greatly appreciate.

License For Php/ Mysql
I know I've seen this discussed but can't seem to find the right search
term. Is a online retailer using -say zen cart or some other open
source store front required to have php or mysql license?

Is it required of the host? Say they have it on their server?

The legalease is less than reader friendly for my 'reading level'...

IPB And VBulletin: Who Copied From Whom?
Somebody said IPB 1.2 copied code from vB 2.0....

Now IPB is in 2.0 and vB is in 3.0

How could a script be offered in a free version IPB and paid version vB,
while features and underlying codes are similar.

What is the MySQL problem IPB has to crash database but vB does not? Why can
IPB fix it?

Question About Php License And Pear
The PHP license states the following:

4. Products derived from this software may not be called "PHP", nor
may "PHP" appear in their name, without prior written permission
from group@php.net. You may indicate that your software works in
conjunction with PHP by saying "Foo for PHP" instead of calling
it "PHP Foo" or "phpfoo"

As the author of something released under the PHP license, can I, as I
see fit, just grant permission to an application using PHP in its name?
Alternatively, could I maybe have two different versions of the
package in question - one licensed under the PHP license and one
licensed under the GPL license?

Also, say I were wanting to make a certain package a part of PEAR and I
wanted it to be released under the GPL license and not the PHP license.
How would I need to update the header comment block to reflect this?
The sample header block given reads like this:

* LICENSE: This source file is subject to version 3.0 of the PHP
license
* that is available through the world-wide-web at the following URI:
* http://www.php.net/license/3_0.txt. If you did not receive a copy of
* the PHP License and are unable to obtain it through the web, please
* send a note to license@php.net so we can mail you a copy immediately.

Further, one of the required lines in the PEAR header is as follows:

* @author Original Author <author@example.com>

Do email addresses have to be included?

Also, say I have a PEAR account. How do I start submitting new
packages?

Regarding the naming conventions of functions... the PEAR manual says
that they ought to use the "studly caps" convention. What about for
something like base256_lshift or bytes2int, though? For those function
names, using the "studly caps" convention seems like it'd almost hinder
readability...

Regarding constants... the sample file suggests that comments ought to
be done like this:

// {{{ constants

/**
* Methods return this if they succeed
*/
define('NET_SAMPLE_OK', 1);

What if, however, there are multiple constants? Does each one need to
be preceeded by a comment or can they sorta be grouped together?
Further, what if the constants are chiefly intended to be used by
"private" functions (as indicated by their being preceeded with a _)?
Are comments still needed? Or should "private" functions not even use
constants? Personally, I think they ought to as using constants can
help one follow through the code. What's the PEAR Groups stance on
this?

Does PDFLIB Lite Require A License?
I was told by my host provider that I need to purchase a license from Adobe
in order to use PDFLIB Lite. Is this true and do you know the cost? It
seems that I read there is a commercial version and a lite version but there
was no mention of a license.

VBulletin And Daylight Savings Time?
I've been programming out the time offsets for some software and want to automatically take DST into consideration. Anyhow... from my research I found out that the EU and the US are the only timezones that practice daylight savings.

This means-I'm assuming-that nations such as S America and Africa do not observe DST, which leaves a bit of a problem since they are in the same time zone as the US and Europe.

So this leaves me wondering, do I include it or not? I've noticed that with vBulletin and ezBoard, there's not option for me to select DST. Does anyone know if these products include it automatically?

Adding A Mailing List To Vbulletin Registration
I have added yes and no buttons to an option called bsmailinglist in the form for registration on my forums. Now I want to have that answer handled according to the following code. I have the yes button set to TRUE and the no button set to FALSE. After adding the folloing code to the script that handles the form (register.php), I get a parse error on the last line of php, the closing php flag. Code:

function BSwrite ($email) {
$BSfile = "bsmailinglist.txt";
$BSopen = fopen ($BSfile, "a");
if ($BSopen) {
fwrite ($BSopen, "$bsmailinglist, ");
fclose ($BSopen);
} // end BSwrite Function
if ($bsmailinglist) {
BSwrite();
}

How To Check An URL ..?
I am a beginner in PHP. Does anybody know how to check if an URL is
alive or dead in PHP (not exist or server down...or whatever ) ?

---

CHECK URL
How it can be checked that a URL exists or not in PHP.There is one
way is to use fopen function then passing the URL as a parameter.
Like this,

<?
$URL = "http://www.abc.com";
$fp = @fopen ($URL, "r");
if (!$fp)
{
die ("Cannot open website $URL!");
}
?>

But I think that there should have some other smart technique.

Can I Check SSL Somehow With PHP?
Ever since I got a server for our site, it just opens new issues.  Here is the problem: My SSL Cert somehow got corrupted.  The server is managed, so they fixed it right away once I noticed it, but nobody was able to checkout until it was fixed, and I cannot check the site every hour.

Here is what I want to do (but the server people say it is not possible): Is there a way, by chron or otherwise, to run a PHP  that requests a secure page, and if it does not respond, it emails a warning? It seems that this should be able to be done without too much trouble.  Any ideas?

How To Check If I've Been CHMODED 220 ?
My host and I have come to a dissagreament on filedownload sizes, and everyday when I wake up, I see that I'm back to 220 for that /files/ directory.

I'd like to point out that it's nothing illegal, it's just gamepatches, and yes... these can get quite big.

Now, untill I settle that, I need to redirect my visitors IF that site is innaccessible to another box... how can i detect if the user gets a 403 page so that I can redirect him?

Had a look at "socket_read()" etc... but can't make heads or tail in it yet, will keep looking in there, but if someone can give me a push in the right direction, I'd apreciate it.

How do i check if there is something new in STDIN?

I ran into this problem when i was doing some simple command line script

nothing in STDIN, it waits forever for input. So i was wondering if
there is some way to check how much stuff there is in STDIN and then
read it, because i dont want to wait for the input forever.

How To Check Value Of Variable??
I have this input box that is optional called "Reason" If a user submits this form with data in the "Reason" form then I want to take those contents and add to them, ie:

if (isset($reason)) {
$reason_message = "Reason for rejection: $reason";}
else {
$reason_message = "";}

Bottom line: is there a way for me to tell that "Reason" has no value and there for not send "Reason for rejection:"

Check For Cookies
This is more of a pain than I thought it would be. I need a simple code
segment to determine whether a browser accepts cookies or not. When I pass
variables between pages when cookies are turned off, the global variables
are empty between pages, fine, that tells me cookies store the global
variables - right? I store the values in $_session and when cookies are
turned on values are passed between web pages - I can see these values in
fields that are displayed in the next web page.

I need to be able to check on the 'first' entry webpage after a user enters
that page directly whether or not their browser accepts cookies at that
point. Everything I have tried complex to simiple won't work. How do I do
this?

_What_ is going on here?!

$subtotal=59001.31;
$principal=58605.33;
$interest=395.98;
$check=$principal+$interest;

echo("Check: " . $check . "

$subtotal . ")"); // Check doesn't equal subtotal
}
else {
echo("Check (" . $check . ") equals subtotal (" . $subtotal .
")"); // Check does equal subtotal
}

Check Wildcard URL
I'm looking for a function that will help me determine whether or not a URL entered by a user matches specific requirements. This is done using $_POST.

Basically the format of the URL must be either: www.example.com, *.example.com, www.example.*, or *.example.* - or some kind of combination such as www.url.com*. I don't want to allow a star in the 'url'. So in theory, to check this, all i would have to do is make sure the string contains: [www and/or *].[text].[text and/or *]
