gzfile disabled

[NoMansLand]

Hello,

 

I need something different from gzfile(), as my webhost has decided to disable it, So yeah 29% of my scripts now dont work.. i really want to kick them hard.

 

Here is the code:

 

$lines = gzfile('http://en26.tribalwars.net/map/village.txt.gz');
if(!is_array($lines)) die("File could not be opened"); 
foreach($lines as $line) {
list($id, $name,$x, $y, $player, $points, $rank) = explode(',', $line);
$name = urldecode($name)

 

So i need to open that file, explode it.. blah blah blah, insert it into the database.

 

So i need something new instead of gzfile()

Is the entire zlib extension disabled, or is it just that particular function?

[NoMansLand]

I have tried:

 

file()

gzfile()

fopen() all closed.

 

they recommended: file_get_contents()

 

Tried it but still no luck. anyone with 3iX?

[Daniel0]

You could try curl. If they've disabled all the functions for retrieving external data then you're out of luck though.

[NoMansLand]

Thanks Daniel0 your a legend, it now works.

 

But one last question, would cURL be able to replace:

 

$handle = fopen($base_url . "&to=$to&subject=$subject&message=$message$play$user$unplay$important$coords$x$code$y$close$space$info$newcount$space$end$space$ender", 'r');

 

im ready to kick my webhost.

This is my current code:

 

My Current Error: MySQL server has gone away.

 

so i have re-shuffled it. and i would love some ideas, to fix this error.

 

<?php

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://en26.tribalwars.net/map/village.txt');

$fp = fopen('village.txt', 'w');
/**
* Ask cURL to write the contents to a file
*/
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
/**
* Execute the cURL session
*/
curl_exec ($ch);

mysql_connect('localhost','********','***********') or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('**********') or die(mysql_error());

mysql_query("TRUNCATE TABLE village") or die(mysql_error());
$lines = file('village.txt');
if(!is_array($lines)) die("File could not be opened"); 
foreach($lines as $line) {
list($id, $name,$x, $y, $player, $points, $rank) = explode(',', $line);
$name = urldecode($name);

$name = addslashes($name);
mysql_query("INSERT INTO Statement Here");
?>

[NoMansLand]

<?php
mysql_query("INSERT INTO claim (x,y,name,points,claims,days,claimer) VALUES ('$x','$y','$name','$points','$owner','$claimtime','$claimee')") or die(mysql_error());
echo "<br />";
echo "Congragulations, This Village Is Now Yours<br />";
echo "You Now Have: <strong>" . $claimtime;
echo " </strong>Days To Get it Before Your Claim Expires.";
$to = $claimee;
$subject = urlencode('Village Claiming System: Claimed Village');
$copyright = urlencode('[b]Do Not Reply To This Message, IT IS AUTOMATIC                    [/b]');
$message = urlencode('Thank you for using the [ally]Pure[/ally] Village Claiming System, Remember this is not a reserving System!                ');
$space = urlencode('[code]                                 

');

$coords = urlencode('Co-Ordinates: [village]');

$code = urlencode('|');

$close = urlencode('[/village]');

$bpoints = urlencode('Points: ');

$thankyou= urlencode('Thank you for using the Village Claiming System, Please delete this claim, once you have captured this village.');

$time = urlencode('Days Until Claim Is Deleted: ');

$base_url = "http://en26.tribalwars.net/send_mail.php?from_id=152932&password=dba0079f1cb3a3b56e102dd5e04fa2af";

// go to URL

 

$ch = curl_init();

 

curl_setop($ch, CURLOPT_URL 'http://en26.tribalwars.net/send_mail.php?from_id=152932&password=My Password Here f&to=$to&subject=$subject&message=$copyright$space$message$space$time$claimtime$space$coords$x$code$y$close$space$bpoints$points$space$thankyou');

curl_exec ($ch);

 

echo "<br />";

?>

[/code]

 

The error im recieving now is: [Mon May 11 07:08:19 2009] [error] [client 58.161.150.45] PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/austchat/public_html/vcsclaim.php on line 117, referer: http://www.puredomination.org/check_claim.php

 

But i've looked all through the code, and you guys seem to be a bunch of geniuses.. So thanks for your help

[Potatis]

Is that code vcsclaim.php? What is on line 117 of vcsclaim.php?

 

Looks like there is a missing ' here before the code bracket: $space = urlencode(

');

[NoMansLand]

Yes thats VCS Claim,

 

The line is:

 

curl_setop($ch, CURLOPT_URL 'http://en26.tribalwars.net/send_mail.php?from_id=152932&password=My Password Here f&to=$to&subject=$subject&message=$copyright$space$message$space$time$claimtime$space$coords$x$code$y$close$space$bpoints$points$space$thankyou');

[Potatis]

I tried to edit my last post, but I cant type code in brackets because the forum creates the code background and the tag disappears.

 

 

[Potatis]

The spaces in your URL might be giving PHP a hissy fit?

 

My guess there is not normally spaces there, you are just replacing the password for the post.

[NoMansLand]

True, the "My Password Here" is for me to remove my password, would want some one to hack my account.

 

But i cant see any missing '(s)

[Potatis]

But i cant see any missing '(s)

 

In reply #6 you posted code. In the line that begins "$space = urlencode" there is the word code in square brackets. It looks like you have a quote mark after the end square bracket, but not before the opening bracket. But it could just be the forum screwing up because it thinks you wrote a forum bbcode tag for "code"

[NoMansLand]

it is [-code]                                          [/-code]

 

Stupid TW.

[Daniel0]

Variable interpolation wont work in single-quoted strings.

[NoMansLand]

im at my wits end here,

 

How am i suppose to get this to work, with out fopen, any idea's?
