I have a web directory [php, mysql based + Smarty templates] I am constructing & have been manually adding links or importing some from DMOZ. There has been no problem with it.
I have not touched the code for many weeks ....
In spite of that, when I try to "fetch" a url in the admin panel, which normally loads in a page showing the title, keywords, etc fetched from a given site or if I try to go to DMOZ, the expected page does not fully load, just showing the upper parts of it - some 2 tables with the menu & just a bit of the next table, with the rest of the page blank.

I thought if somehow part of the code was damaged, uploading a copy would repair it. It did not, though I am sure the back up was ok. When I last did that over a week ago, everything was ok & I did not touch anything in between.

What could be the cause?

Does this use fsockopen(), as it's been disabled as there is too much abuse.

Hi,
I have no idea whether it uses that function. I have to ask the script writer.
I had otherwise got this response after posting on the support forums http://www.astanda.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=561

I will post the response as soon as I get one.
Edit:
Please have a look at the script authors response below:
Yes, ADP uses fsockopen to get HTML content from your links: http://www.php.net/fsockopen
This is how we get the title, description, Google PR, check for recip links, etc.

Some people really do abuse this PHP function for spam and ddos, but... Your web host should have closed spammers account instead of disabling one of the most useful PHP functions.
...
ADP will still run OK without fsockopen, but the above features will not function for you

Look for sockets: enabled (or disabled) in the output of this script:
Code:
<?php

phpinfo();

?>


Also, there might be a way to enable sockets for your web site only. Check info on this page: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.sockets.php

Hey ...

This (new?) automerging of some posts may sometimes give the impression it's still just one post & so whoever is supposed to look at not have their attention drawn to the article, because they think they have already read it.

An example, in the posting above I wrote

quite sometime before

Edit:
Please have a look at the script authors response below:
Quote: ....

Could that be the reason there is been no response, yet? I may of course be wrong & it has been read, in which case just ignore this. I'm in any case keeping an eye on this article. :happysad:
