I'm going to try and make a page on my server that would allow me to put in a URL from a remote location, coughschoolcough, send the request to my server, and then return the page to me through the page on my server

in other words, a proxy

being greedy i'm also going to charge people to use it and create accounts to www.mydomain.com/webpagefetcher.php

I dont want to use a script that isn't mine, because it's just not the same. And things like cookies, javascript, etc dont matter, but i do want to play flash/shockwave games

again, i want to kind of figure this out on my own, but i need a start or maybe an explination of what to code in it.

Again, this would be in PHP if possible, I have admin privs to the server, read, write, etc, as well as shell access. It's windows too . no spoilers, but hints/bits of code would be a nice way to jump start the creation of it.

This is not a difficult project, but why would someone want to pay to use your proxy?

[jcortes]

exactly i agree. who is gonna want to pay for it when you can find one for free. i even have one on my site that i let people use without charging them all the time.

[tommyboy123x]

because all of the free ones are blocked by the school and mine isn't linked to any other sites

but any help on this..? I know it isn't terribly hard, but i just kind of want a few functions to keep in mind/that will come in handy/maybe bits of code, etc.

[jcortes]

download and install PHProxy on your server or website my school doesnt block it because its sending the request thru my site. just install it at home not at school.

You don't need to reinvent the wheel, but if you really must, start coding and then post your code when you need help.

[jcortes]

i agree there is no sense in reinventing the wheel and no one will pay either when they can just search for phproxy and get tons of sites that have it and arent blocked.

[tommyboy123x]

but in order to create something greater, one must first learn the wheel :beard:

I don't care if people will pay or not, cause i'll still be able to play games, but all i was asking for were some functions to keep in mind/learn or something like that...

besides my class is filled with dumb***** who don't know that you can make a proxy lol

I just don't really know where i should start or what it should do... at first i thought it should download the files that are needed, then display the page, but then everything will be messed up because how would i change all of the links so that they are relative, when i knwo for a fact a lot of the sites i go to have the link all written out.

then i tried to think of more ideas, but couldn't.... Just something like a function to keep in mind, even something like echo (...LOL)

You're not guaranteed to be able to play games with a proxy. Some web elements aren't affected by web-proxies, most commonly games and movies/videos.
