Toastboy Dmoz Web Script
DMOZ.PHP3 No Longer exists
It seems that a lot of people are still accessing toastboy.com from script sites looking for my dmoz.php.
It has been offline for a long while.
If you are still interested in the dmoz.php script. Leave me a comment, and I will re write one and post it again.
Hello,
Yes I am very interested. I do have problem however and I think I am not alone in my seacrhing of the forums. My host does not allow fopen commands and so the system must use cURL for it to work. Have you ever heard of this? I have found many sites about it and parts of a script but not enough for me to figure it out or use it.
I want to import a very specific part of the DMOZ and wrap it into my page. Please let me know if you can do this.
Thnka you,
Kelark
Let me know more particularly what your host has. And What part of the dmoz you need. and I am sure i can work something out for you.
Thanks,
It seems that my server won’t allow fopen or fsockopen. It is Godaddy and they usually keep everything up to date. I spoke with their technical people and they said it is a security thing and they suggested cURL as an option.
I have looked around the web and I am sure that a script using curl would be very popular.
If you do a google search “can’t access dmoz fopen” You will see some of the problems people are having.
This is the category I want to display.

Thanks again.

Check out http://grub.toastboy.com/dmoz/
Let me know if this is going to be ok for you.
And let me know of any other features you may want added to this. And I will implement them.
here is the godaddy proxy code that needs to be commented out.
//*********************** Not sure if these CURL lines are needed or not *****************************************//
//curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER , 0); //This means that we do not want the HEADER to be displayed in the output of this code. I don’t know why this is important.
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); //Set to FALSE, tells cURL to NOT verify the remotes hosts ssl certificate.
//curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, TRUE); //Set this to TRUE to tunnel through a given HTTP proxy.
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_HTTP); //No idea what this does, but it must be needed.
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, “http://64.202.165.130:3128″); //The HTTP proxy to tunnel requests through.
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, 80); //An alternative port number to connect to.
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0); //Prevents CURL from following any header(“location: url”) responses from the webserver.
//********************** Back to required code *****************************************************************//
