[rainforest]

Hello

suppose ive a site named domain.com now i want my members to upload their files to a different site like test.com.I meant the files only will be copied to the site test.com but the informations of that file and user will be sent to the database of domain.com .How to do that?

ive tried by changing the permission of test.com to 777 bt it still showing

'that site doesnt allow writeable connections.couldnt copy the file'

Anyone to help..?

yes u can do it ask your domain.com host for database details if u wanna operate it from other site . then connect ur database of domain.com from test.com

[Loony]

u can do it but you realy dont want to do it belive me

[subzero]

if you making a file host with diff mirrors you can do it by password or a set key with forse headers to stop it showin where you put it

like this

uploaded to one host then you uploaded to all cpanel

domain1
domain2
domain3

so when a user download it he or she can pick what data speed she likes

abit like rapidshare ??

I Can Create A Safe Uploading System That Uploads To (Domain B ) Without Leaving (Domain A ).
But (Domain B ) Has To Be A Decent Server.


The Only Question Is It worth Me Coding It For Free?*:p lol

[GumSlone]

you can try this class: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/3753.html
i havent tested it but it uses curl ant it is the best way to upload files to other servers.

and here is a simple example:

<form action="curlupload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div>
<label for="upload">Select file</label>
<input name="upload" type="file" />
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload" />
</div>
</form>

if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
 if (!empty($_FILES['upload']['name'])) {
     $ch = curl_init();
     $localfile = $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'];
     $fp = fopen($localfile, 'r');
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'ftp://ftp_login:password@ftp.domain.com/'.$_FILES['upload']['name']);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, 1);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILE, $fp);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, filesize($localfile));
     curl_exec ($ch);
     $error_no = curl_errno($ch);
     curl_close ($ch);
        if ($error_no == 0) {
            $error = 'File uploaded succesfully.';
        } else {
            $error = 'File upload error.';
        }
 } else {
        $error = 'Please select a file.';
 }
}

a bit offtopic question...
but still...

only host can give out database details?
is there any other way to get details?

yep you can ask from your host about it

instead of localhost you need to write
$DB_HOST = "localhost";

wat your host tell you like in freehostia database host is somethink like this
$DB_HOST = "mysql.freehotia.com";

I Thought There is a code you have to place in your database to except external server ip number. (because of security issues)
I cant remember what the code is tho lol

(apart from on freehostia)

Remote Database Access Hosts

You can allow external web servers to access your MySQL databases by adding their domain name to the list of hosts that are able to access databases on your web site.
Add Access Host

Host (% wildcard is allowed):

[rukiya]

Many hosts dont allow curl functions
So I do like this

<?php
function rukiyaupload($from,$to)
{
if(!@copy($from,$to))
{
    $errors= error_get_last();
    echo "UPLOAD ERROR: ".$errors['type'];
    echo "<br />\n".$errors['message'];
} else {
    echo "File uploaded from $from successfully!";
}
}

rukiyaupload('http://www.example.com/somefile.zip','./somefile.zip'));
?>

or

<?php 
$file = "http://www.example.com/sample.zip"; 
$f = explode("/",$file); 
$end = end($f); 
file_put_contents($end, file_get_contents($file));
?>

you can do it by connecting to remote database.

in database connection, set host address of the database with its details. so all of your queries will be fired on that db

Why all this tired work and messed code?
Why not upload to domain.com and immediately transfer to test.com, then delete the file?
I would do this.
