No, not an issue with the PHP - I was responding to "AJAX not being cross site is annoying"
MaxMouse
Really? i thought that would only be important if the user had some kind of control over where the XML came from, if you hard code it (As in a PHP file) wouldn't that eliminate XSS attacks?
Domuk
Yes, but very, very necessary. AJAX requests run in the context of the browser, there'd be no security if it was cross-domain .
MaxMouse
AJAX not being cross site is annoying, all other scripts can be used in that way, having to resort to PHP to patch it is a shame.
SAJChurchey

OSI Diary: November 2009 Site Statistics

Welcome to all the new challengers, and a big thanks to the members that got involved this month.
PHP: Cross site AJAX
by: MaxMouse - 2009-10-29 10:18:42
While developing across several domains I found AJAX lacking, in that I could only request an XML document from the same domain the script was currently executing from. Since I required some data to be shared across several domains I ended up with duplicate XML documents, updating them meant updating the master local XML document then uploading it to all of the different servers one after another. The following is a demonstration on cross site AJAX using a PHP proxy, pAJAX anyone?
Perl: Batch-download YouTube videos to MP3s with ID3 Tags
by: ateam - 2009-10-26 16:50:33
I am a university student double-majoring in Italian and CompSci. I am very involved with helping the Italian department get up to speed with the 21st century in terms of digital media.

One recent project involved getting 120 YouTube videos into MP3 format for the students and the professor of an Italian Music class. A little research brought me to "youtube-dl." From this and two other tools, I put together a script to take care of this task for me automatically!

PHP: Replace PHP variables with custom error page (Apache)
by: MaxMouse - 2009-08-21 11:20:34
Recently i was trying to improve search engine spidering on a website, and read several articles regarding spiders, do they like something.php?somevar=foo&anotherVar=bar do they follow them using the entire querystring or not? well the jury is still out, there is evidence google (for example) does at least make a passing effort to spider them. But this wasn't good enough for me, the following article explains how to use custom 404 error pages to serve pages that do not exist.

by: cadey - 2009-05-27 16:11:03
This seems like a hot topic and so I decided to make my own class to do this simple function. Its got a few extras that may not be needed for your implementation but feel free to rip those out or add more functionality to it :)

Added this as a project.

Dot.Net: Included Dlls with your exe without needing an install
by: Pertinax - 2009-05-06 18:18:31
I created a WinForms utility that depended on some DLLs and wanted the user to be able to just download and click on the exe to run the app. Usually if your exe needs some other files you wrap things up into a package and the user has to go through an install process. This takes time and forces the user to unistall if they don't want the program after it's served its purpose. I didn't like this and found a way to embed the files I needed into my exe and extract and link them when the program ran.
