Wrong?

[unidox]

I have this code:

 

$url = "site.com?key=" . SITE_LIC . "&ref=" . $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] . "";
$lic = fopen($url, "r");
$lic = fgets($lic, 4096);

if ($lic == 1) {
echo "Verified";
} else {
echo "Suspended";
}

 

If I echo $lic it says 1, but if I use the if statement, it keeps saying suspended. Whats wrong?

are you sure that the file is getting opened? you might want to vary your variable names a little and use a different variable for fgets() instead the one you're already using for fopen(). then see if fopen is actually successful before using the handle for fgets.

Yes, redefining $lic is destroying the resource.

Didnt work.

Well, another issue might be what fgets returns.

 

 

Return Values

 

Returns a string of up to length - 1 bytes read from the file pointed to by handle .

 

If an error occurs, returns FALSE.

Got it to work:

 

$url = "site.com?key=" . SITE_LIC . "&ref=" . $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] . "";
$lic = fopen($url, "r");
$lic = fgets($lic, 4096);
define('LIC_CHECK', $lic);

if (LIC_CHECK != 1) {
header("Location: http://www.site.com/index.php?p=lic_invalid");
exit();
}

Oh my god that is scary. Why are you using a constant?

 

fgets returns a STRING, not a boolean value.

 

You want this:

 

$url = "site.com?key=" . SITE_LIC . "&ref=" . $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] . "";
$lic_h = fopen($url, "r");
$lic = fgets($lic_h, 4096);

if ($lic === FALSE) {
header("Location: http://www.site.com/index.php?p=lic_invalid");
exit();
}
