Multiheadlines with "allow_url_fopen" set to OFF

For Multiheadlines to work, allow_url_fopen directive must be to ON in your php.ini. However more and more hosting providers do not want to do this due to security risks as detailed here :-
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=37874

It appears that if other RSS blocks are working then according to Aikon, Multiheadlines can also work through modding it to use fsockopen. Can someone, maybe Aikon, help me mod my MH to do this please?

Thanks.

Ok.
We just gonna emulate the file_get_contents function using the fsockopen as it is used for regular rss/rdf nuke blocks.

Open functions.php [/modules/Multiheadlines/ folder] and look for:

Code:
if (($contents=@file_get_contents($rss)) <> false) {

and replace with
Code:
   $parsedf = parse_url($rss);
   $con = fsockopen($parsedf['host'], 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
   if ($con) {
       if ($parsedf['query'] !== '') {
           $parsedf['query'] = "?" . $parsedf['query'];
      } else {
           $parsedf['query'] = '';      
      }
       fputs($con, "GET " . $parsedf['path'] . $parsedf['query'] . " HTTP/1.0\r\n");
       fputs($con, "HOST: " . $parsedf['host'] . "\r\n\r\n");
       $contents   = "";
       while(!feof($con)) {
          $contents .= trim(fgets($con));
       }
       fputs($con,"Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
       fclose($con);

Now should work!

Wow Aikon, you ARE a start and now you have made the next version security friendly.

I had trouble looking for the line "if (($contents=@file_get_contents($rss)) <> false) {"
because I had done the cURL mode but after reverting back and then doing the above,
it now works perfectly!

Many thanks and keep up with the great work!

Agreed... this module is beautifully written, and the above fix worked very well for me. Great Job!! Thanks Aikon for the killer app. Very Happy

One Question: Any reason why the above fix shouldn't become incorporated into the next version? That way when people download it, it will work out of the box regardless of the allow_url_fopen setting, and they won't waste tons of time troubleshooting it. (Sorry if it's a dumb question... I'm a php noob =)

Thanks again!! Mr. Green
