External PDF File
Is there a way for me to be able to fetch a PDF from another site and display it on my website without having to open up Adobe Reader? In other words, I would like to have this PDF document: http://flightaware.com/resources/airport/ASE/APD/AIRPORT+DIAGRAM/pdf to be displayed on a page when a user opens a page on my website.

Url In An External Php File
Situation: I have an external php file with a function in it that returns a value with document.write like this: <?php Header("content-type: application/x-javascript"); function myfunction() { return $something; } $some_variable=$something; echo "document.write("Some_Text: " . $some_variable . "")"; ?> When called remotely by javaScript, the php function behaves perfectly returning the desired variable: <script> type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mydomain.com/remote.php"></script> The Problem: I would like to display the "Some_text:" part with an active link as in <a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/">Some_text</a> So that when executed, the JavaScript displays the link with an anchor text. How can I write this code into the echo document.write function?

Calling External File
I am fairly new to PHP programming, and I'm trying to get my head around this one... I have a form that I am doing validation on via PHP within the same page, so if there is an error, a message will show to the user above the form. If all goes well, I would like to call a processing script that I have already set up and working to format the users response and send it out to a specified e-mail... I'll call it processing.php Is there a way that I can, if the form is filled out correctly, make a call to processing.php, that will totally leave the control of form.php and do it's processing?

Including External File
I have two sites that I am trying to get to "talk" to each other. I have one site that contains a PHP file that basically outputs an XML formatted list depending on the file structure in that directory. The other site needs this XML formatted data to complete the PHP generated XML file that I am trying to put together. (Much like syndicating my content from one site to another) I have tried using readfile, include and header(Location:) and none of them seem to be working. What I need is for the calling file to somehow include the output of the remote file. (The same stuff you see if you view the source) What happens is that I can 'readfile' my index page on that site, but not the one that puts out the XML data that I need. Could it be that the XML file doesn't actually create any visual content on the page? or doesn't have 'head' and 'body' tags? It would be great if I could do all of this in PHP so that the final source would not include anything that would disrupt the final XML output.

External Text File
I have several thousand zip files, and I want to make a text file that has the links to the files. How would I be able to do that. Just to let you know about how many files I'm going to be working with, around 7,000+. It needs to work with html files also, I have 200+ .swf files I need to link also. I have never used php, or even looked at it until July, 05, make that I never heard of it until July, 05 . How would I set up the text file to make it work with php file? and How would I set up the php file to make it work with the text file? The text files will be in the same directory with the zip, swf, so I should be able to use relative links right? I think it is relative the code that has the <a href="thisfile.zip">This File</a>.

Writing To External File
I noticed that in order for me to be able to write output to external file, I must have that file CHMOD 0777. Now, this file will have static html in it to be used as include. Question, how bad of a security risk is it to leave static HTML page with 0777 permissions. There is no direct link to that file otherwise. I tried to see if I can CHMOD the file to 0777 using PHP, write my output and then CHMOD it back to 0644, but it doesn't seem to work. I suppose my server settings do not permit it.

Calling External Php File Before <html> Tag
just wondering if it is possible to call a function that resides on external php file before any <html> tag?? i have a code that sets a cookie which needs to be called before <html> tag. If I use that code on the same file, it works fine. But I'd like to use it on a separate php file so that it'd be easier to modify in the future because that same function can be called from other files too... When I include the external php file in my main file, it gives me warning saying something like the cookie is set by the external file.... Is there a way to do it properly?

Their username is found in a settings file on their local harddrive and is sent to the server when they request infromation from the server. Now i want to be able to change the string in the settings file so that after the first request to the server it will contain their unik id as well. Is this possible?

Check If External File Exists
I'm trying to add favicons for external links on my site and I'd like to serve up a default image of my own if one doesn't exist. I've seen a javascript solution out there but I'd rather work this out in php. Here's what I have that's working: $urlbits = parse_url($array['url']); $favicon = "http://". $urlbits['host'] ."/favicon.ico"; if (!@fclose(@fopen($favicon, "r"))) { $favicon = "/dev/images/favicondefault.gif"; } The problem is that the script is incredibly slow as it waits for every single server in the list (typically 15 or so) to respond. If I just go ahead and print the page then the available favicons display as they load but then I can't substitute in a default favicon if one doesn't exist. So, my question is, is there a better script for what I'm doing or a way to adjust the timeout for my current script so that a slow external server doesn't cause it to hang?

Include External File In Table
Basically, I have a static html page with tables, graphics, etc. I am trying to include an external php file (namely, bazookaboard forum) which held in a seperate folder on my server, into the main table in my page. I have tried saving my static page as php and putting in a simple include tag to point to the index.php of the bazookaboard, but always get an error: Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at ....... I think I am doing something wrong, but don't know what. Of course I can add an iframe to the table which contains the index.php for the message board script, but would rather use the php method.

How Do You Link To An External PHP Script In An HTML File?
I installed XAMPP, so everything should be configured properly. However, I'm still having problems. So, here are some of the questions I have. If anyone could help me out on any of them, that would be great. 1. What is a web server? How is it helping me write PHP? 2. When I open my PHP files in my browser, they are still not read properly. Any known reason why? 3. How do you link to an external PHP script in an HTML file? Is there a such thing, or am I totally clueless?

File Locking / File_get_contents() / File Changed While Reading?
I'm using file_get_contents() to get the contents of a file, *BUT* I need to be sure that the file doesn't change while file_get_contents() is reading the contents of the file. I'm not sure if file_get_contents() will ensure that the file contents don't get changed ( another script fwrites() to the file ) while file_get_contents() is doing its thing, or if I need to use a lock file to ensure this doesn't happen. Anyone know if I need to use a lock file, or will I be fine just calling file_get_contents()?

PHP Variables Inside External JavaScript File (workaround?)
I have been trying to really separate JavaScript from HTML/PHP, just like with CSS. My problem, is that I am having problems passing a PHP variable or making use of it through an external JS file. If I was using inline JS I could pass it like: <a href="bla.php" onclick=return confirm("Delete this item: <?php echo $item ?>")> Delete (works) </a> However, using similar code in an external JS file, simply passes through as text. Is there any way to accomplish something similar? The new code is much nicer: <a href="bla.php" class="delete"> Delete (doesn't quite work) </a> IS there a way to keep code this clean and properly separate the JS from the HTML while at the same time keeping the PHP $variable working? I am well aware that JS runs on the client, and PHP on the server, I am just hoping to somehow pass this variable through some work around, if not I will keep using the inline version.

It all works ok except that it does not seem to be reading the php.ini file as any changes I make are not shown up when doing a phpinfo(). This shows the ini path as c:windowsphp.ini. This is where it is and it is the only php.ini on the machine. I have tried stopping and starting the service but this does not help.

Reading File
I need to read a file that looks like this: g1.jpg::Description #1 g2.jpg::Description #2 I need each side of that "::" to be a different variable and I need it in some kind of while loop till the end of the file. I've tried a coupld of split and explode versions and can't get it going, basically because of that end of the line when it starts a new one. This file displays descriptions for pictures in another script, and it splits it by of course as you can see the file name then the "::". But since I'm not reading the file list I can't get that other splitter. I don't want to read the directory list because in case the file isn't there anymore I don't want that to conflict with reading the file out and displaying the contents. Basically what I want to do is have an input box for each one, and then at the end of the php file allow the user to click on save to save it back to the file if they edited anything.
