From: Govinda on 6 Aug 2010 19:34 Hi All I am working on a page which will write out a file (using another server-side language) and then that file will get uploaded nightly to someone else's FTP directory, on a 3rd party remote server. As I start to contemplate that last part about auto-uploading to someone else's FTP directory it escapes me what that code will need to look like.. I have some ideas, but I thought to just ask you first. Can someone outline that pseudo code in PHP for me? .. so I can translate it to the language I am working with? Or is this a shell operation? (where I am even more green.) ------------ Govinda govinda.webdnatalk(a)gmail.com
From: shiplu on 6 Aug 2010 19:39 You have to maintain a queue if I understand it properly. PHP page will send request on one end of queue. And the server side cron will process from other end. Cron will upload it to ftp. Now you can implement a queue using database table or you can just use a file. Shiplu Mokadd.im My talks, http://talk.cmyweb.net Follow me, http://twitter.com/shiplu

This kind of thing is all new to me. I need to see some sample code to even start to get an idea. Thanks for your (all) time, -Govinda

While there may be nothing directly-related to this (I don't know, I haven't looked), you may want to check http://php1.net/ to see some of his other samples for other issues that come up. -- </Daniel P.

I looked through Tedd's things there (thanks! :-) but did not see anything on that topic. Meanwhile someone on another list suggested I use curl, from the command line (which I can access from my script). Surely I can find some forum or talk list somewhere to get help with that if I get stuck.. but I thought to ask here before this thread dies: do you guys have any suggestions - what are your favorite places to discuss technicalities surrounding issuing commands on the command line? (If I said that right.) ------------ Govinda govinda.webdnatalk(a)gmail.com |
