fopen to curl

1 New Member
My web host has disabled fopen and now uses curl. I am a newbie to php so I am at a complete loss. I am trying to change the code in sendcard at sendcard.org to use curl.
The beginning login will not connect. The code for this is below.

<?php
require("prepen d.php");
$error = "";
if($save){

if($cfg_admin_p assword1 != "" || $cfg_admin_pass word2 != "") {
if ($cfg_admin_pas sword1 == $cfg_admin_pass word2) {
$cfg_admin_pass word = md5($cfg_admin_ password1);
$session["password"] = $cfg_admin_pass word;
$_SESSION['session']['password'] = $cfg_admin_pass word;
} else {
$output_msg = "Sorry, your two passwords did not match";
}
}

if(!$output_msg ) {
$cnt = "";
$cnt .= "<?php\n";
$cnt .= "define(\"DOCRO OT\", \"$cfg_docroot\ ");\n";
$cnt .= "define(\"SENDC ARD_HOST\", \"$cfg_sendcard _host\");\n";
$cnt .= "define(\"SENDC ARD_DIR\", \"$cfg_sendcard _dir\");\n";
$cnt .= "define(\"ADMIN _PASSWORD\", \"$cfg_admin_pa ssword\");\n";
$cnt .= "\$first_ti me = 0;\n";
$cnt .= "?";
$cnt .= ">";

$file = fopen("config.p hp", "w+");
fwrite ($file, $cnt);
fclose ($file);
$output_msg = "Changes saved!";
}
}



$DOCROOT = DOCROOT;
if ($DOCROOT == "") {
$DOCROOT = $DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/" . SENDCARD_DIR;
}

$SENDCARD_HOST = SENDCARD_HOST;
if ($SENDCARD_HOST == "") {
$SENDCARD_HOST = "http://" . $HTTP_HOST . "/" . SENDCARD_DIR;
}
?>

<form method="post" action="setup.p hp">
<p>Please check that this is the directory you installed sendcard in (from your
top public directory). You must include a trailing slash.<br>

</p>
<p>Please check that this is the full path to the directory you installed sendcard in.
You must include a trailing slash.<br>
<input type="text" name="cfg_sendc ard_host" value="<?php echo ($SENDCARD_HOST ); ?>">
</p>
<p>So is this the full system path to the directory where sendcard.php is? It must have a trailing slash.<br>
<input type="text" name="cfg_docro ot" value="<?php echo ($DOCROOT); ?>">
</p>
<p>If you wish to change your password, please enter a password and confirm it.
If you do not wish to change it, please leave these boxes blank.<br>
<input type="password" name="cfg_admin _password1"><br >
<input type="password" name="cfg_admin _password2">
</p>
<p>
<input type="hidden" name="cfg_admin _password" value="<?php echo (ADMIN_PASSWORD ); ?>">
<input type="submit" name="save" value="Save">
<input type="reset" name="reset" value="Reset">
</p>
</form>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</body>
</html>

Can someone please tell me what to change, and thanks ahead.

I might be wrong but at a quick glance it looks like you're using fopen to open/write to a file on your local server. cURL is usually used to access other servers via http. Although having said that I think you can connect to your own server using curl, but it would be just like a normal web user connecting to your server, i.e. it wouldn't allow you to write to a file, so it would be pointless! Not sure...anyone else?..

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
