Vndv.com - Php Network Related Libraries Disabled, curl, sockets, stream, ftp libraries

[Ed]

Earlier today Jack reported a proxy site operating on the hosting, I wasn't involved with the setup and configuration for this server, so when I looked over it I was horrified to see multiple network related libraries still available.

I am aware that there are completely legitimate uses for the libraries but due to the fact that they're being abused they have all been disabled.

The following libraries have been disabled:

curl - http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php

ftp - http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.ftp.php

sockets - http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.sockets.php

stream - http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.stream.php

I'll just reiterate this, outside connections on Zymic hosting are not permitted, so if an application / script requires it, they will not work upon the hosting.

I'm a little upset as I would like to be able to obtain information from my punbb extern.php file.

I initially attempted it with file_get_contents and that was disabled, so I setup a method using cURL.

Now curl is disabled, and I'm not even trying to connect to a non-vndv.com domain.

Please offer some sort of alternative!

If the domain is yours simply use a path, not a url then you can get the contents of your file.

CODE

<?php
echo file_get_contents('/www/vndv.com/m/y/d/mydomain/htdocs/somedirectory/extern.php');
?>

This should output the contents of the file.

As I stated it would not allow me to use the function file_get_contents due to restrictions on the host.
Also, I don't want the code from extern.php, I want the resulting output.
