Alternative codes for Y! status

[PersianHero]

I've just moved to new server and got this error due to webmaster has disabled this function(because of security reasons):

 

Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]:
URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/public_html/files/ym/status.php on line 3

 

Here is the content of status.php:

<?php
if(!empty($_GET['id']) || !empty($_GET['img']) ) {
$status = file_get_contents("http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=".$_GET['id']."&m=a&t=1");
$file = './icon/'.$status.'/'.$_GET['img'].'.gif';
if(is_file($file)) {
header("Content-type: image/gif");
readfile($file);
}
}
?>

 

Does any one can help me out to change this function or create new code to do so?

 

-------

More information:

 

I put this code into index.html to call status.php

 

<a href="ymsgr:sendim?yahooID"><div id="product" style="background:url(ym/status.php?id=yahooID&img=sup1) 0 0 no-repeat;">

I appreciate sharing your knowledge

 

P.S.

Are you goot at using Google?

[PersianHero]

I did but sadly i couldn't manage to do that. Can anyone help me to change this function to "cURL"?

[Barand]

I thought Zane had done that for you in his reply

[PersianHero]

Yes. But not completely

[PersianHero]

I know I should use cURL function rather than file_get_contents but i don't know how.

I'd appreciate if someone can change this code to "cURL" function.

<?php
if(!empty($_GET['id']) || !empty($_GET['img']) ) {
$status = file_get_contents("http://mail.opi.yahoo.com/online?u=".$_GET['id']."&m=a&t=1");
$file = './icon/'.$status.'/'.$_GET['img'].'.gif';
if(is_file($file)) {
header("Content-type: image/gif");
readfile($file);
}
}
?>

Did you read the link that Zane posted?

 

It would not appear so

[PersianHero]

Yes i did. But it was in professional way. I'm amateur mate.

I'm here to learn something new from you. Are you supposed to blame me or solve my problem? If I were you, I would help someone who needs my help rather than...!

I think here is not right place to solve the problem.

I marked the topic as solved. Please delete this topic.

Thanks

The link given to you contained this code

 

function get_content($URL){
         $ch = curl_init();
         curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
         curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $URL);
         $data = curl_exec($ch);
         curl_close($ch);
         return $data;
     }

 

That should be a pretty good start to your solution. But if you want to to throw your rattle out of the pram then that's OK.

 

Bye!.
