Hi Klemen - I love your script and thanks for the great work. My IP provide does not allow allow_url_fopen, and I was wondering if there was a work around. I am not certain what the function does and is there a way to maybe by pass the function and do the work manually? I noticed a fix for Linkman 1.05 in the support forum but, don't know if it will work with the recent script. Thanks, I would love to get the script working and register the product. Ronnie

You have posted this under Hesk, I think you wanted to post it under LinkMan No?

Here's how I would do somthing like this.
This is not totally tested but as far as a curl workaround I would think you can do somthing like this and it should work ...


Add my func to the end of the addlink.php

//DC fopen mod ...
function get_url($url_data){
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url_data);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);
$get_data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $get_data;
}

then where the script makes a call like
/* Get HTML code of the reciprocal link URL */
$html = @file_get_contents($recurl) or problem('Can\'t open remote URL!');

you would replace that with
$html = get_url($recurl);

Klem you might want to move these 2 posts.

Moved to LinkMan.

I'll add cURL support in the next official version.

Txs...and sorry for posting in wrong forum.

Txs again, I still get the same "ERROR Can't open remote URL!." Any help would be appreciated. Ronnie

Hi do you have curl support on your server? if you do my code should work.

Thanks - Its Working!!! My mistake was that I did not change

$html = @file_get_contents($recurl) or problem('Can\'t open remote URL!');

to

$html = get_url($recurl);

Thanks for your help. Ronnie
