PHP - Restore Db From A Remote Website?

This topic has been moved to Miscellaneous.

http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=314405.0

Hi Guys,

My 2nd issue with my new blog is that the code used to limit the amount of content displayed from each post, is on occasion truncating the closing html tags along with the excess text! Very often this will result in any following posts being entirely italic or bold, which as you can imagine looks ridiculous.
The Code that limits the content:
# Limit Post
function the_content_limit($max_char, $more_link_text = '', $stripteaser = 0, $more_file = '') {
    $content = get_the_content($more_link_text, $stripteaser, $more_file);
    $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
    $content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);
    $content = strip_tags($content, '<h1>,<h2>,<h3>,<strong>,<em>, ');
   if (strlen($_GET['p']) > 0) {
 

I'd be very grateful if someone could help me out with this.
Thanks Steve

Hey people!

I'm currently working on an free API that i will be sharing with the web community in the next few months and had a question that much of this project hinges upon:

Is there a way to allow a remote include of one php file from my server?

Case:
I am allowing 2 ways for users to access the APi:

1. Using AJAX or cURL accessing a REST method over POST or GET (This part is already functional)
2. Allowing an include of the API Library
    I'm not sure if it will be completely opensource yet, only free, this is why I don't want to simply provide the source files to users.

Example of what I would like to do:

<?php
include('http://mysite.com/myAPI/classLib.php');
?>


Anybody have a solution for that??


Thanks in advance,

E

Hi guys,
I have this problem and id appreciate all your advice in helping solve it.

I'm working on a service with is "cloud" hosted.
However I want it so when a person employed by Corporation A logs onto myservice.corporationa.com they enter their Corporation A LDAP details but somehow that sends them to myservice.com and authenticates them. I know how to do the get LDAP details part to put on myservice.corporationa.com but no idea how to do the rest and make it send back etc.

Any ideas?

Many many thanks in advance.

(PS - If this all makes sense please do let me know)

Ok, the database I have been working on the past few days is located on my websites server (1&1) and today I am trying to get a connection to it on a website that is on a different server, but I am getting my echo statement of saying it can't find the database even though I changed it from "localhost" to the physical address of the database.  Any ideas?

Hi,

I'm writing some software and I'm wanting to store user statistics on my web-server remotely. My application outputs the statistics into a txt file and asks the user if they would like to submit this data to my server to help the project (statistics gathering  ) and if they submit it I want the information stored in a mysql database on my web-server. I was thinking about passing the data in through the url in an http request to the page, but there's too much data.

I'm interested in finding out if it's possible to upload a file directly to a php script. I could use FTP to place it on my server, but that would require me putting the ftp login into the program, which I don't feel safe about doing that. At least with a php script I'm able to filter and process any input before it's inserted into the database. Is it actually possible to upload directly to my server from a php file in an http request from an application though?

On my website, I have a download folder containing several files ranging in size from 6Mb to 700Mb. Users have no problems downloading the smaller files but often have problems downloading the files over 500Mb. We also have an archive of all the files located on a sub-domain on a server in England. Those users that are having problems downloading large files from the main site usually have no problem downloading the large files if we send them the URL for the archive. I've added a button that calls the following script so the users can choose where to download from but have no idea how to code the script.

Here's what I've tried:

// ukdloader script
<?php

$php_scripts = '../../php/';
require $php_scripts . 'PDO_Connection_Select.php';
require $php_scripts . 'GetUserIpAddr.php';
function ukdloader($l_filename=NULL)

{
$ip = GetUserIpAddr();
if (!$pdo = PDOConnect("foxclone_data"))
{    
    exit;
}

    if( isset( $l_filename ) ) {  
        echo <a href="http://foxclone.org/".$l_filename">   /* This is the archive site */
        
        $ext = pathinfo($l_filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
        $stmt = $pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO download (address, filename,ip_address) VALUES (?, ?, inet_aton('$ip'))");
        $stmt->execute([$ip, $ext]) ; 

        $test = $pdo->query("SELECT id FROM lookup WHERE INET_ATON('$ip') BETWEEN start AND end ORDER BY start DESC, end DESC");
        $ref = $test->fetchColumn();
        $ref = intval($ref);

        $stmt = $pdo->prepare("UPDATE download SET ref = '$ref' WHERE address = '$ip'");
        $stmt->execute() ;         
       }
        
    else {
        echo "isset failed";
        }  
}
ukdloader($_GET["f"]);
exit;

Thanks in advance.

folks, i know i may be asking a question that has been answered before but i am asking this here again because i could not find any simple and straightforward answers.

i want to debug my php scripts. no web server is involved. all the scripts are used for parsing and preparing data files...something like we do with unix shell scripting. the scripts reside on a linux box and each script may call functions in other included scripts. i can connect to the linux box using my notebook. on my notebook i have Eclipse and PhpEd. i want to debug those php scripts on the linux box using my notebook's Eclipse or PhpEd. (no webserver or html involved and php cli is already setup and running scripts on the linux box).

If this (using PhpEd and Eclipse on the notebook to remotely debug) is not possible can you please suggest me how do i debug those scripts while i am on the linux server (using command line etc.).

please help me how to set up.

regards,
kali

Hello everyone

You help is required.

<head>

<title>Remote Upload Page</title>

</head>

<body>

<form method="post" action="download.php">

<p align="center"><b><font face="Tahoma">Enter Download URL :</font></b></p>

$url = $_post['Link'];
$dir = 'files/';
$rfile = fopen($url, 'r');
$lfile = fopen($dir . basename($url), 'w');
fwrite($lfile, fread($rfile, BUFSIZ), BUFSIZ);

I hope anyone can fix this.

The title may be a bit misleading, but essentially what I have is a custom CMS I built in PHP.  What I want to do next is to build some sort of authentication to ensure my code was not copied and reused on another server.
I need some way to communicate between my CMS and an external script to ensure that it is valid.

I was thinking of putting a file on a domain. A simple function that accepts an url this function takes the url, searches the db, if it finds it, send back an result.

My CMS obviously queries this function with the current url of the domain and if the url is in my db, the software works, otherwise it displays a message saying it was illegally copied.

How do I build this interaction between the two?  I could use AJAX, but i need something a bit more robust so that your average developer doesn't figure it out too easily.

Hi guys,
I am after some code (PHP/AJAX/jQuery) that will let me send a command to a AJAX listener on another pc (or even eventually browser window), a bit like doing remote command/control.

I thought about how does IM services do it and after research found they are dependent on a file or a db, any way to not be dependent on those? Or do I need to be?

Furthermore if I do, anyone have a clean example (even a step by step tutorial) of an IM code with AJAX listener etc that I can use as an example and guide to modify into what I need?

All help is greatly appreciated.

Hope you all had a good NYE _

Cheers

I am setting up an API for my users, and the user sends post data via cURL. Is there a way I can see what site that the post data is coming from?

would $_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'] work?

I am not using that to validate information.

I need to dwonload a remote file say http://abc.com/files/abc.zip.
Assuming that the file size > 100MB

Is there a way to download the file in parts/chunks say 10MB each ?
