PHP problem

  • My Network provider wont allow these PHP settings… how can I still use your plugin.?? I don’t have alot of PHP experience, please help!!

    ? register_globals
    ? allow_url_fopen and its corollary, allow_url_include
    These functions allow the developer to retrieve data, or open a file or retrieve file data, from a remote location, such as to load a site template from another file system. Due to security concerns, register_globals is deprecated in PHP 5.3 and will soon be removed completely from PHP.

    You or your developer can use more secure methods to accomplish the same goals. You may be able to rewrite scripts using allow_url_fopen, for example, to reference files locally using relative paths. You can also cURL to retrieve your remote data.

    With allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include disabled, local inclusion using include(), include_once(), require(), and require_once() will still work normally.

    You will not be able to edit your own php.ini or use htaccess to reenable these functions.

    Hi,

    I hope to have time next week to switch the XML remote call to a built in WordPress call that will use whatever methods the server has available. I will post back here when there is a new plugin version for you to try.

    Thanks I would appreciate that so much!!

    Hi –

    Just wondering if an update will be available soon… I know you’re busy so I don’t want to sound pushy, but I’m wondering if I should contact a programmer to help resolve the issue if you don’t have time.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Thank you for your patience. I have seriously had updating the plugin on my list for the past couple weeks but client work has gotten in the way.

    If yours is broken, I have a fix but need some testers. You can contact me through my website in my profile and I will send you a new petfinder-listings.php file you can try on your website. I’d love to know if it fixes the plugin on hosts that do not allow allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include

    Thanks,
    Bridget

    Hi Bridget,

    That’s so strange…I was literally checking this for an update right as you responded. I’d love to test out the new file you have. Just submitted an entry via your website.

    Thank you!
