i found this on php.net, and it worked for a little while, and now it doesnt work. i changed some of it trying to fix it, but it always returns false. function url_exists($url){ if(!strstr($url, "http://")) { $url = "http://".$url; }; $fp = @fsockopen($url, 80); if($fp === false) { return 'false'; } else { return true; };};

theres another way to do this (how i do it at least). The url to one of my dynamic images is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ anything in /1/sig.gif can be changed, i use 1 as it is my forum ID, and sig.gif just fools a forum software (or whatever else) into thinking its an image file, the sig.gif part is not actually used in the script. To get the information from the url, i just use explode; this is how its done $stdata = explode("/",$_SERVER['PATH_INFO']);then to get the '1' out of the url, i use $stdata['1'], and $stdata['2'] would be the sig.gif, that allows for truely dynamic images (where user input of some sort is required, in this case a forum ID to get a few forum stats.)

Im not really sure where i should post this, as theres not really an IRC Section, but me and a friend of mine have started up an IRC Network recently, and were really looking for more users.Currently, we average about 30-40 connections, but thats really not enough to have a whole lot of active channels.If you are interested, and have an irc client, you can connect to irc.euphoriairc.net (port 6667, or 6697 for SSL)Also, we have a web chat set up, which you can view at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ activity takes place in #ScriptingIf you have any comments or suggestions, id really appreciate it, as this is our first go at running our own servers.

if the problem is right now, the Gamma server is down, meaning Xisto.com hosted sites are also down :\

i have not messed with any of the MX setting on 1and1, but everything else ive done regarding my domains has been fineive got 6 or so through them, the first took about 2 days for dns to update, but the rest after that have been within 4-6 hrs, which is not bad if you ask meeven changing nameservers has been relatively fast, so ill still refer people to 1and1, at least for domain purchases

More Than One Registered Domain Per Server Is this possible
AlternativeNick replied to Moolkye's topic in Web Hosting Support
i have that set up, the way that i did it was using an addon domain and a subdomain.what i have is paste.altscripts.net (altscripts.net being my main domain), and i have an addon domain pointed to paste.altscripts.net -
what i meant is that i have 2 domains, altscripts.net and altpaste.neti wanted for altpaste.net to point to this file altscripts.net/paste.phpi changed some things around, and made a subdomain from altscripts.net (paste.altscripts.net) and added altpaste.net as an addon domain, pointed to paste.altscripts.netsorry for the confusion, and thanks for the replies. i never knew you could do all that with htaccess

oh, sorry about this then :rolleyes:i wasnt aware that you could change youre cpanel password within cpanel :)thanks.

Hi, im wondering if i could set up a domain pointed at a specific file on my hosting.I currently have http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/,'>http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/, and id like to have http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ point to that page (not a redirect)the question that im asking is, how would i set that up? i know a parked domain will point to my main domain correct?also. id like any get data included in the url (ex. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/?act=view&id=1 => http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/?act=view&id=1)if you can direct me, id really appreciate it, thanks

Hey all, i think this is a major problem.it costs 10 credits to change youre cpanel password.What is up with that? if someones password is compromised, and they dont have the credits, it could take a while for them to get the credits high enough to change it, and in that time its very possible that someone could take advantage of the site/cpanel etc.I really think this should be changed, if anything make it cost 1 credit, because im sure everyone has that.Personally, i have a hard time posting on forums (i cant usually think of anything to say) so my credits are almost always below 10.Anyways, im just saying, for the sake of safety, it shouldnt cost that much to change youre password, being able to change passwords in a flash is very important if you ask me

i heard today that Wal-Mart is going to be saying 'Merry Christmas' this year, instead of the tradional, politically correct, 'Happy Holidays'.Personally, i think this is a step for the better, because what is the reason for the season? not turkey and santa thats for sure.i know that most people will say 'why not hanakuh (sp?) but if you ask me, there would be no other 'winter holidays' if it wasnt for Christmas, so just let me know what you all think, and why you are for or against business going back to America's Christian roots.

Phone is working after disaster thank god for this miracle
AlternativeNick replied to jmb2006's topic in Mobile Phones
i had a wonderful cell phone, i dropped it in the toilet, still worked (i got a call while it was underwater, thats how i knew it was there!)had it in my back pocket and fell on my *bottom* out of a tree, prolly about 8 ft, still worked (although part of the screen turned orange, but thats ok its my favorite color anyways)but alas, one particularly wild night at the beach ended the life of my poor phone *sniff*i apparently dropped it into the lake, and of course it sank really fast, and since i was on a pier type thing, there wasnt much of a chance for me to find it. -

i hate to rain on youre parade, but it seems to me like you copied alot of sections from the Xisto forum. i dont think that thats a good thing -
Google Cpm Question Does google pay for thousand impressions
AlternativeNick replied to amhso's topic in Online Advertising
ok, i have a problem with all of you then, because i can go days without clicks, and still make a little money.i get 1-3k views daily, and make anywhere from 7-40 cents just from that (no clicks)so it might be that they pay per thousand, but not added together.. like 600 views one day, plus 600 the next = $0, but 1200 views 1 day = $.07 or something similar -
What Would You Walk On Rather? Random Poll V1.4
AlternativeNick replied to Donegal's topic in General Discussion
i have to disagree with you all, for a couple of reasons for one, you could get any number of diseases from walking through human poop, some of which are incurable. Burning or cutting your feet is only temporary anyways. the concept of 'mind over matter' there are people who have trained their mind to only let their bodies react the way they want to certain stimuli, for instance, i work in a factory where i come into contact with very hot metal (2-300 degrees F) on a regular basis. after the first time i burned myself, i realized if i concentrate on what feeling i want to have, instead of the feeling that i certainly must have, it makes the situation alot easier. the same could be true of glass, ive seen a video of a man standing on the tip of a sword, on one foot. he stood there for a while, 3 minutes or so if i recall, but someone from the audience yelled, which startled the man, and the sword went through his foot. the mind really is a powerful thing, and i fully believe that it is possible to control all of youre feelings/reactions. -
What Is The Weirdest Thing You Eat? regularly or occasionally.
AlternativeNick replied to arnz's topic in General Discussion
heh i cant say everyone thinks this is weird, its kind of a family tradition, but most people think its odd.it all started at my uncles house, me and my cousin and him were all 'under the influence' if you will, and had a strange cravingspaghetti on bread (NOT TOAST!) with peanut butter (crunchy is preffered)the combination is absolutely amazing! even when in a sober mind i like to eat this, although it nearly made my fiance vomit when she tried it! -
Men Are Just Happier People Men are happier than women
AlternativeNick replied to OpaQue's topic in General Discussion
hah i love being a guy, i wake up for work ~noon, throw on a shirt and shoes, grab my smokes, and im out the door. my fiance, on the other hand wakes up 3-4 hrs before work, and then takes until the last minute to be ready, and only makes it on time about half the time -
well, i run a pretty popular website, with upwards of 5-10 ppl online at most times, so i dont think that running my own server would be very practical. i think most of my users would be unhappy with a slowed down site ;o

well then i spose some other sort of hosting would be better, thanks guys
