Setting Up Form Based Email ?

rseni — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 13:12:22 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to set up a form based email as directed on the following website:

http://www.ironspider.ca/forms/nmsform.htm

however I could not locate any cgi directory on my free hosting account. Is that a limitation of free hosting. If yes then how can I set up a form for users to send emails.

Best Regards,
rseni

Hey Guys!
I have a free byethost website which i set up a few weeks back ,it was working smoothly until today .

Code:

I get an error Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at arun.byethost18.com.

I haven't changed anything on the admin side of the website for over a week.
I tried opening it with other browsers as well ,but they also couldn't load the site as well :(

Can someone give me a solution for this?
Thanks in advance. :)

How to write timedout statement

stockpedia — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 10:14:24 GMT

Hi there
I am using curl to output a remote server's page as below:

phpfunction output_curl($url)
{
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 15);
$html = curl_exec($curl); // execute the curl command
curl_close($curl); // close the connection
return $html; // and finally, return $html
}
$url = 'http://forums.devnetwork.net/';
$data = output_curl($url);
?>

Please note that a 15 seconds time out has been settled in the code. Suppose, somehow the timout period was over and the curl couldnot completed the execution. Then after timeout period I want to show a message like this:

if($data=timedout){
echo "Sorry! Server is down, Page cannot be displayed. Please reload the page";
}else{
//do something else with the output
}
?>

my question is how I can write the timedout statement? I think ($data=timedout) is not the correct syntax. What should be in place of "timedout" to point out an time out error?

Regards

I am not sure if you can call this video a tutorial or a warning. I decided to share it here.

Just received this link from my mate by email http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO6iXq6yLEA and I couldn't believe this. I thought it was a virus so I called him and he approved the information on video.

The best way to protect your PayPal account is not to post your login email anywhere.

Good luck guys!
