cURL to fopen

[marklarah]

I suck at both.

 

Is there anyway of turning this script into using fopen instead of cURL?

//begin verification hack - PROOF OF CONCEPT ONLY
$username = $_POST["user"];
$pusername = str_ireplace("_","+",$username);
$url = "somewebsite=". $pusername ."&ip=".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

if ($output!==("1:".str_ireplace("+"," ",$pusername))){ die("retry (some sort of error) " . $pusername); }
//end LL verification hack

 

? Thanks...

Just use file_get_contents to read the data.

[marklarah]

its an external site its not what I need too

[marklarah]

nope?

[marklarah]

this is what i have

 

//begin verification hack - PROOF OF CONCEPT ONLY
$username = $_POST["user"];
$pusername = str_ireplace("_","+",$username);
$url = "site=". $pusername ."&ip=".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$fhandle = fopen($url,"r");
$tempqb="";
while ( ! feof( $fhandle )){
$tempqb = $tempqb . fgets( $fhandle, 1024 );
}
$output = $tempqb;
if ($output!="1:".str_ireplace("+"," ",$pusername))  { die("Nope, unicorns " . $pusername); }
//end LL verification hack

Example hope it helps.

<?php
$file = 'http://www.google.com';
$f = fopen($file, r);
while ( $line = fgets($f, 1000) ) {
print $line;
}
?>

Sorry did it work your code, If not whats wrong.

Not what you need to? What do you mean? file_get_contents() is just a convenience function doing all the fopen(), fread() and fclose() in one function...

Why not try this..

<?php
//begin verification hack - PROOF OF CONCEPT ONLY
$username = $_POST["user"];
$pusername = str_ireplace("_","+",$username);
$url = "site=". $pusername ."&ip=".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$tempqb="";
$output=file_get_contents($url);
if ($output!="1:".str_ireplace("+"," ",$pusername))  { die("Nope, unicorns " . $pusername); }
//end LL verification hack
?>

[redarrow]

tested.

 

<?php
$url='http://www.google.co.uk';
$tempqb="";
$output=file_get_contents($url);
if ($output!="1:".str_ireplace("+"," ",$pusername))  { die("Nope, unicorns " . $pusername); }
//end LL verification hack
?>

result

Nope, unicorns

[redarrow]

final bash works theo.

<?php
$username="red_arrow";
$pusername = $_POST["user"];
$pusername = str_ireplace('_','+',$username);
$url = "site=". $pusername ."&ip=".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$tempqb="";
$output=file_get_contents($url);
if ($output!="1:".str_ireplace("+"," ",$pusername))  { die("Nope, unicorns " . $pusername); }
//end LL verification hack
?>

result

Nope, unicorns red+arrow

[redarrow]

use preg_replace.

 

<?php
$username="red_arrow";
$pusername = $_POST["user"];
$pusername = preg_replace("/\_/i","+",$username);
$url = "site=". $pusername ."&ip=".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$tempqb=" ";
$output=file_get_contents($url);
if($output!="1:".preg_replace("/\+/i"," ",$pusername))  { die("Nope, unicorns " . $pusername); }
?>

wow redarrow lol daz alotta posts

 

and for this guy's question :

why would you ever want to use anything other than

file_get_contents

file

or

cURL

for external data grabbing..

[redarrow]

if you look at his condition it always true die or not...

 

how the hell does a condition work with a cater nated syntax get me?
