include

hey well i want to include this subdomain information onto my website using the include function in php, so here is the link to the sub domain.

http://shop.safetynetdirect.com/cgi-bin/mk_cat.pl?cat=B_NG1

Now i've tried using using_once('http://shop.safetynetdirect.com/cgi-bin/mk_cat.pl?cat=B_NG1')
but it gives me errors, so i checked my php info and saw that

allow_url_include is set to off, is this the problem ???

 

You can only include another php file, not a full page of html..
Also, when including make sure you use the relative path.

 

but i cnt use the relative path can i because its on a sub domain. And i'm tryin to avoid iframes at all costs so do you know another way i cld grab this information variable from the url.

 

use fopen function.
for detail see the link: http://tr2.php.net/function.fopen

 

i tried this

<?php
$handle = fopen("http://safetynetdirect.com/tcs/index.php", "r");
echo " $handle ";
?>


but all i get is this text resource id#5 any ideas,

 

The handle is just a pointer to the file resource. You have to use fread to get to the content.
http://tr2.php.net/manual/en/function.fread.php

 $handle = fopen("http://safetynetdirect.com/tcs/index.php", "r");
$contents = '';
while (!feof($handle)) {
  $contents .= fread($handle, 8192);
}
fclose($handle);

echo $content;

Code (markup):

 

even that doesn't work

 

Odds are its restrictions from your webhost.

 

You will need this:

<?
$c = file_get_contents("http://shop.safetynetdirect.com/cgi-bin/mk_cat.pl?cat=B_NG1");
echo $c;
?>

PHP:

 

try:

$file = file_get_contents('http://shop.safetynetdirect.com/cgi-bin/mk_cat.pl?cat=B_NG1');
echo $file;

PHP:

If you only want to display part of the page you could use regexp to match unique parts of the html


EDIT: few seconds too late.. haha

 

Same moment
4:39

 

is there no way other way i can get around gettin this information then, rather then using a iframe ?

 

ok iv'e tried this but looks what happens because was on subdomain images are now broken.

http://safetynetdirect.com/tcs/?pg=test

this is the page with file_get_contents

 

Please explain more. Why don't you want to use file_get_contents?

 

OK now you can make some work to $c before you echo it. For example, use a regular expression that checks for images without full URL and adds the URL to them.

 

i want to use get file contents but look at the link i have given, now the image links are broken and bottons. o and thanks alot everyone for tryin to help

 

ok thanks alot i get what u mean now, if anyone has any snippits for code for this i wld appreciate it

il look into it now !!!

 

If you need an advice, then I would say google for it before you get help because regular expressions need searching and reading before you use them. And they will open a new horizon for you

 

yeah ive read like 3 php books so i know about regular expressions just haven't really used them to much apart from checking a email is valid ect. thanks for advice

 

LOOOOL OK
I checked the page and found that they use this format for images:
<img src="/
So, you can create your expression on this.
But BTW: I checked their page now and it is changed! It shows a hand in gloves, what happened?
