Thread: php install script for callbacks

Hey guys,
having some "fun" with this one, basicly I need to be able to execute a file on a seperate server that will give a response, this response is actually a license key for use of the software.

I've tried using AJAX but of course you cant run scripts over multiple domains, even tried a window.open command and even tho it opens the file the JS wont run for the same reason.

php FOPEN isn't an option as it returns a blank data

so anyone got any ideas?

Interesting idea. Hopefully someone else will know. :2072:

Try changing the permissions (CHMOD) of the file you are trying to access...You should secure it a little by having the script verify that any request will only be responded to if the request is coming from a particular IP and URL...All other requests will be ignored.

What about using Curl?
But i can't see why fopen in read mode should return blank :/
$resource = fopen("url", "r");
$lic = fread($resource,"1024");
fclose($resource)

yeah I couldn't understand why fopen wasn't working, even with a text file i'm guessing the options for opening URL's in fopen in the php.ini file is disabled. I thought about CURL but didnt have time to implement it. for now it just opens up a file which shows the license keys then you have to do the old cut and paste system but hopefully I can try curl later on in the week.

Well the curl kind of worked, there was a problem with our .htaccess file rewriting the php link to html and not sending on the post vars but disabled the rewrite for that folder and it works a treat, now to sort out the ajax call to fill in the fields and its all done thanks guys

Glad it works then :slaugh:
Any time mate
