Include a Curl version of import.php

[mike390]

For us and the others who will use this script compuned with dreamhost and other hosts who dont allow fopen, you could also include a curl version of import.php especially for those who cant code too well, if at all.

I just haven't had a chance to read up on curl yet, I plan on doing it because I know alot of people do use dreamhost.

Create a nep file calles class.curl.php and pase the following code in it

<?php

class CURL {

var $ch;

function CURL () {
$this->ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookie.txt');
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'cookie.txt');
}

function request($method, $url, $vars) {
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
if ($method == 'POST') {
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $vars);
}
$data = curl_exec($this->ch);
if ($data) {
return $data;
} else {
return curl_error($this->ch);
}
}

function get($url) {
return $this->request('GET', $url, 'NULL');
}

}

$curl = &new CURL();

?>

inside import.php include class.curl.php

include("class.curl.php");

and replace file_get_contents with

$curl->get

thanks, I just noticed this post!

I'll take it a step further and put a check in place and have that automatically used if the check fails ;)

hey mike can you email me the import.php you're using? I don't have CURL installed so I can't test it properly without recompiling...

admin@iamnotageek.com is my primary email.

[mike390]
