General Talk about PHP scripts

hmmm.... i guess we could about general php/mysql :)

I&acute;ve got a tough one for you guys. 8) <br /> <br />I&acute;m reading up on this stuff, and on news groups. What I would like to do is have a news group and php forum links. Have it so you could access it through a browser or though a news reader. From what I gather, news grups are similare to databases (or are special types or databases). I&acute;m not sure how thier user system works though. I&acute;m not sure how a user system in php works either. <br /> <br />So to start off, what are your thoughts on this? I&acute;ve heard of it being done, but never seen it. We can get into code and details later if you want. For now, bouncing arround a few ideas sound good to me. ^.^

you can access to newsgroups with php through sockets, or try to find any php addon which support newsgorup access. <br />You can connect to newsgroup if you open socket to news server on port 119. <br />After connection you just have to send/recieve data. <br />Newsgroups know this commands: <br /><code> <br /> authinfo user Name|pass Password|generic <prog> <args> <br /> article [MessageID|Number] <br /> body [MessageID|Number] <br /> date <br /> group newsgroup <br /> head [MessageID|Number] <br /> help <br /> ihave <br /> last <br /> list [active|newsgroups|distributions|schema] <br /> listgroup newsgroup <br /> mode reader <br /> newgroups yymmdd hhmmss [&quot;GMT&quot;] [<distributions>] <br /> next <br /> post <br /> slave <br /> stat [MessageID|Number] <br /> xgtitle [group_pattern] <br /> xhdr header [range|MessageID] <br /> xover [range] <br /> xpat header range|MessageID pat [morepat...] <br /> xpath xpath MessageID <br /></code> <br /> <br />you can also test it through telnet command. <br /> <br />Example: telnet news.triera.net 119 <br /> <br />and then type any commands I paste before. <br /> <br /> <br />

Basically, what gRAVE said would be the way to go. Openiong a socket in PHP (through fsockopen()) is akin to telnetting to a server yourself. <br /> <br />I have seen it done on a dutch board: http://www.webhostingtalk.nl - scroll to the bottom and you&acute;ll see they&acute;ve integrated three newsgroups into the board. <br /> <br />By the way, gRAVE, can we somehow post code here, without having to use escape tags?

I have to say it sounds a lot more simple than I thought it woud be. 8) <br />Now I just gotta figure out how to make a news group. :P <br /> <br />Thx guys. =^.^=

letme test the code :) <br /> <br /><code> <br /> <?php <br /> <br /> echo &quot;Hello World&quot;; <br /> ?> <br /></code> <br /> <br />

if you wanna post a code use &lt;code> and close with &lt;/code> <br /> <br />it should work then

That&acute;s a good way to do it I think.

Lemme try: <br /> <br /><code> <br /> if(!class_exists($klasse)){ <br /> $module=MOD.&acute;/&acute;.substr($klasse,1).&acute;.mod.php&acute;; <br /> if(file_exists($module)){ <br /> include_once($module); <br /> } <br /> } <br /></code>

Cool. But it shouldn&acute;t strip the whitespace though. Perhaps replace multiple spaces between &lt;code&gt; tags with &amp;nbsp; ?

added :)
