PHP - Php Ftp Vs. Ftp Client

I feel like I was 75% there, and now I'm only 25% there.
I'm trying to put my links onto my page. http://thingsihateaboutyou.net/michelle is my testing page.

So I have register (register.php), login (login.php), logout (logout.php), and the members area. The members area is going to be their username.php, so I assumed this would be $username.php like I have it in the redirect link from the point where you login to the point where you see your client page. This works fine.

The part I'm having trouble with is the visibility of the links on my page to these, AND adding a PHP variable ($username) into the "members area" tag. When you click on members area, it should send you to http://thingsihateaboutyou.net/michelle/*whatever you are logged in as*.php

As for the visibility, if you are not logged in I obviously don't want you to see a link called "log out" or a link called "members area," and vise versa. It's been like 5 hours now, and I keep getting further and further away. I had to bail on my Wordpress so I don't have a Content Management System in place. All of this DID work and it worked excellent, but after I made the switch earlier today it kind of blew up in my face.

I am attaching a ZIP file with everything included... in desperate need of an answer.

I have two questions, I was wondering what would be the best method to go about building client side API functions on top of a already built API eg. http://docs.whmcs.com/API:Functions We would like to provide our clients access to API functions related to their accounts without giving them access to the whole Admin API where they can see a lot of our other client information.   The other question we have an API built using Basic HTTP Auth for API authenication (HTTPS). eg curl username:password http://api.etc.com) If so what would be the best way to secure this method?       Thank you

Hello All,

I'm working with a SOAP WSDL API for the first time, i need to send off some params to the server so it returns the data i'm after, i've read the SoapClient manual and looked at a few tutorials but I can't seem to work out how to actually send the data. I have been provided a sample XML document of how the request should be formatted which I have attached.

All I have worked out so far is how to run the client:
Code: [Select]
$client = new SoapClient($url);

The request XML the server is looking for is as follows:
Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<s:Body xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

I am under the assumption this stuff goes in an array? If so how do I format it and how do I send it across?

Any help greatly appreciated,

Cheers. 

I am writing an API for clients to use to integrate with an server API I have written and it will be used in a variety of different environments and used by people with varying coding styles (hopefully), I was just wondering how I should handle errors? I was going to throw an exception, but what if people don't use a try / catch ? Should I return false to allow them to handle an error?


   private function _request($uri)
   {
      if ( ini_get('allow_url_fopen') )
      {
         $this->_response = file_get_contents($uri);
         return false;
      }
      if ( function_exists('curl_init') )
      {
         $ch = curl_init($uri);
         curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
         $this->_response = curl_exec($ch);
         curl_close($ch);
         return false;
      }
      throw new Exception('Allow URL fopen disabled and cURL disabled');
   }



Also, any scenarios where the above would fail to return a result (apart from the obvious lol)


Thanks, Andy

Hi,

I need to make web site, which will get requests from users that log in and activate those scripts. But, the problem is that the server has to, when the script is activated,  send request to another PC with the static IP address.  Then, that PC should execute the script, send its results to server, and then the server will notice user who activated it (clicked on the link).
So, the main problem is that server - client (static ip) communication, when the server is the first who sends request, not the client.

Any instructions would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

I'm in the habit of verifying input client side. For example, there is a field to enter a number, and I ensure that it is within a particular range using Javascript.

My backend PHP code does not do such checking... Is this bad? Should I be doing checking using my backend code and send a response back to the client to display a message? Admittedly, I avoid it, since it's a little extra work -- well more extra than just javascripts, IF-THEN-ALERT type statement.

Hello guys. I was thinking on posting this under the mysql thread. but i think this can be solved by php.. anyway, i want to dump mysql data on the client side whenever a user logs out. how can i do this? thanks in advance.

I have a general knowledge of PHP. I was wondering if anybody knew of a script that when a user logs in, they have their own unique page setup, but it is the same page.

Basically so a client could log in and see the information about their purchase, or website construction etc.

Any scripts to build off of?
Thanks

Hello,    I am trying to connect to the oData service API, I already generated the file which has all the method I need. My problem is when I run in on the web site it shows 401 (Unauthorize user), so i need to input username and password to connect to the OData Service, but I don't know where to put my username or password.

define("DEFAULT_ODATA_SERVICE_URL", "https://sample.service.site/Wcf.OData.svc/");

I want some code to receive email, reformat and then forward to another email address   I'm not sure where to start with this Does the application need to be constantly running - monitoring incoming emails? What is involved?   I did a search and saw many discussions saying that Google App Engine was available for usage I've no experience of this   Just looking for suggestions   Thanks     OM

it should be returning data somewhere in $agDataSet or $agDataResult, but there is no data except what I submitted. I'm not certain I'm setting the cookies right, or what I might be doing wrong here.

Again, the documentation for their webservice is he http://wiki.agemni.com/Getting_Started/APIs/Agemni_CMS_Sync

Near the bottom is an example of how to access the service using vb.net and at the bottom is an example given in Python. Not sure if they provide any additional insight, I don't do python or VB.Net so they are little help to me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a client and a server solution setup at the moment. We are currently creating an API that will be run on the clients end that will allow their clients to connect to them. On our end, we want to log the number of attempts are API is being used so that we may charge the clients appropriately.

My question is this. How is the most efficient way of doing this? Do I call mysql_connect from the client and just shoot the insert log statements across the web. Should I create a php script on our end that looks for post/get input and takes the data and inserts it? What if the client can't connect to our server; should I cache the data and send it off all at once? Should I create a job that every hour shoots up x records API requests happened?

Relatively confused at what angle I should be taking when approaching this. I want this to be scalable to a point where we can have thousands of requests an hour, and not horribly slow down apache/mysql running at either end (Specially if the server is talking with several clients).

HI Gurus,

I need to export (download) a csv file from the web server to my client. How can this be done in php ?
How is the save as dialog invoked ? (I am assuming that file save permissions are allowed)

I read that if you invoke the following script (eg form submit), it will work ..

<?
header("Content-type: text/plain");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=YOUR_FILE.csv");
?>

Any advice ?
