You can make a workaround for this.
PHP's file_get_contents() function also works cross-domain. Make a PHP file that requests a specific file on another website.
Something like

<?= file_get_contents($_POST['url']) ?>

Im using this for Tinyurl stuph.

Not secure, [B]make a filter for this.[/B]

<?
$allowed = array('http://*********com/api-create.php?url=');
foreach($allowed as $v) {
    if(strpos($_POST['url'], $v) === 0) {
        echo file_get_contents($_POST['url']);
        exit();
    }
}
echo 'Nope.avi';
?>

That's terribly insecure and php short tags aren't enabled by default.

Oops, didnt think about that.. Gonna make a filter then.

[B]Edit:[/B]
Using this now:

<?
$allowed = array('http://*********com/api-create.php?url=');
foreach($allowed as $v) {
    if(strpos($_POST['url'], $v) === 0) {
        echo file_get_contents($_POST['url']);
        exit();
    }
}
echo 'Nope.avi';
?>

What if I had a url like [URL]http://hackersite.com/http://*********com/api-create.php?url=[/URL]?

[QUOTE=Jelly;33005545]What if I had a url like [URL]http://hackersite.com/http://*********com/api-create.php?url=[/URL]?[/QUOTE]

if(strpos($_POST['url'], $v) === 0) {

Must be at the beginning

Do you think that when you first start programming in PHP you should first explore it all on your own or rather start with a Framework?

I dont and have never used a framework for any language other than Javascript. (I use jQuery for that)

[Jelly_]

I'd say never to use a framework when you're learning a new language. It adds extra abstraction and makes things more complex for a begineer who has just started learning. Baby steps.

i thought it was just <? ?>

[QUOTE=zzlawlzz;33008561]i thought it was just <? ?>[/QUOTE]

Those are short tags, they are disabled by default.

ya I was looking at <?= ?> didn't noticed that he had <? ?>

Would you say that using tables in these cases is acceptable? ( Only the form. )

I would say it looks fine to me. aligning input with labels can be painful.

You should text-align:right; for the labels.

[commander204]

[QUOTE=Ac!dL3ak;33009355]i wouldn't[/QUOTE]

Well the way I see it, Forms are almost a form of Tabular Data, you have a field and a description of a field. Those are the two rows.

no i know i'm just saying i wouldn't do that myself

you can do that if you want

[jaybuz]

[QUOTE=commander204;33009415]Well the way I see it, Forms are almost a form of Tabular Data, you have a field and a description of a field. Those are the two rows.[/QUOTE]

Or you can just float divs to the left for the same thing without the extra work of a table.

Should I stick with LithiumHosting's $10/mo unlimited plan or should I switch to FanaticalVPS's micro/mini plan?

[QUOTE=Known Havok;33011310]Should I stick with LithiumHosting's $10/mo unlimited plan or should I switch to FanaticalVPS's micro/mini plan?[/QUOTE]

We'll need more details to help you make that choice. I'm sure Fizzadar will appreciate the extra 10/15$, however.

Well, I want to host multiple websites, optionally with the bonus of it being a VPS. However I don't want to give up the functionality of cpanel (if it's not on a vps)

Im pretty sure you can do more/same amount of stuff on vps compared to cpanel

[bbang]

do you guys have any tip for secure file upload? (image upload)

Would you recommend a vps over shared web hosting? As I see it, they're both $10/mo, unmetered bandwidth and have a good connection

With shared hosting they're just giving you a folder on a web server and a control panel. On a VPS you have choice of what tools you use.

[editline]Fake editline to add emphasis on the "Leaving" part. If you're quoting this, yes, I get it, I shouldn't post here, but I feel that I had something intelligent to add to this converstation. If you feel that this isn't the case then I will gladly snip this post.[/editline]

Yes, I'm leaving, I'm leaving.

How would you do the things you could do with cpanel?
