Got it! Thank you so much brendandonhue. You have been more than helpful.

[quote author=brendandonhue link=topic=113017.msg459284#msg459284 date=1162073324] The code contains a function called statout() that decodes the strings [code=php:0]function statout($mystring) { $mystring = gzuncompress(base64_decode($mystring)); return $mystring; }[/code] [/quote] Thanks, but like I said, I know nothing about PHP and have no idea on how to use that function to decode the strings. Could you give me an example of the procedure to decode a string?

Could you explain for me the exact process you are using to decode these?

Thanks again but I really don't understand how to gzuncompress. I have other encoded strings that base64 will not deocode. Do you know what encoding is used in the line below? if ($output !== stripslashes_ascii("eF7LyM9NLUhMT43PyczLji8uSExOBQBN3Qe/"))  die("error mid");

Sorry, I didn't realize that. Thank you very much. What did you use to decode it?

I don't think it's md5 as this is an encoded php page.

Can anyone decode this? I've tried base64 decoders with no luck.

[quote author=Daniel0 link=topic=109070.msg439439#msg439439 date=1158937117] You could just change it to: [code]function get_file($url,$read='r') { $a = fread(fopen($url, $read)); return $a;[/code] The filesize thing just gets the total filesize, but fread will by default read everything, so you do not need that. [/quote] That just produced another error [code]Warning: Wrong parameter count for fread() in /home/karaoket/public_html/top-karaoke-sites/admin/lib/class.functions.php on line 723[/code]

The script was working before I moved it to a new host. I simply copied the script files and imported the database. The function at line 723 is: [code]function get_file($url,$read='r') { $a = fread(fopen($url, $read),filesize ($url)); return $a;[/code]

I have a topsites script that is displaying an error after moving to a new web host. The error reads: [code]Warning: fread() [function.fread]: Length parameter must be greater than 0. in /home/karaoket/public_html/top-karaoke-sites/admin/lib/class.functions.php on line 723[/code] Any ideas on what would cause this?

[quote]And the text you want to specify, is in the source too? give us a sample of your code so we can help you build a matching pattern.[/quote] The data is stored in a text file. The script takes whatever you enter as a url and automatically makes that url the link text so you end up with a link like below on a dynamically created page: [code]<a href="http://www.somesite.com">http://www.somesite.com</a>[/code] This is the scripts link function: [code]function convertLinks($str) { $str = eregi_replace('(((f|ht){1}tp://)[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]+)',    '<a href="\\1" target="_blank">\\1</a>', $str); $str = eregi_replace('([[:space:]()[{}])(www.[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]+)',    '\\1<a href="http://\\2" target="_blank">\\2</a>', $str); $str = eregi_replace('([_\.0-9a-z-]+@([0-9a-z][0-9a-z-]+\.)+[a-z]{2,3})',    '<a href="mailto:\\1">\\1</a>', $str); return $str;[/code] This is an example block from the text file database.

[quote author=effigy link=topic=107382.msg430827#msg430827 date=1157742762] I assume your source file only has the url? Where will the text come from? [/quote] Thanks for the response. This is a Q&A script. The source file contains everything including the question text, answer text, and urls. When reading a url from the source the script writes out the link (taken from an entered url) in the form of: [code]<a href="http://www.somesite.com">http://www.somesite.com</a>[/code] I want to be able to specify my own link text as in: [code]<a href="http://www.somesite.com">My Text Here</a>[/code]

I know very little about php and I'm limited to the basic altering of scripts. I have a script that replaces characters in urls. It stores information in a php file as opposed to a database. Basically it takes a url like http://www.somesite.com and creates a link from it using the url as the link text. What I would like to do is change the function as to where I can create the links with my own link text. Below are the functions used by the script. $str = eregi_replace('(((f|ht){1}tp://)[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]+)',    '<a href="\\1" target="_blank">\\1</a>', $str); $str = eregi_replace('([[:space:]()[{}])(www.[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]+)',    '\\1<a href="http://\\2" target="_blank">\\2</a>', $str);
