note 72944 added to function.socket-create

here's a way to get the currency: example getCurrency("BGN", "USD"); function getCurrency($from, $to, $cache = true) { if ($cache && $_SESSION['currency'][$from][$to]['value'] && (time() - $_SESSION['currency'][$from][$to]['time']) < 3600) return $_SESSION['currency'][$from][$to]['value']; $host = "www.xe.com"; $port = "80"; $data = "Amount=1&From=" . strtoupper($from) . "&To=" . strtoupper($to); $header = "POST /ucc/convert.cgi HTTP/1.1\n" . "Host: $host:$port\n" . "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n" . "Content-Length: " . strlen($data) . "\n\n" . $data . "\n"; $s = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); $z = socket_connect($s, gethostbyname($host), $port); socket_write ($s, $header, strlen($header)); while (true) { $c = @socket_read($s, 1); if ($c == "\n") { if (preg_match("/$from = (.+) $to/i", $line, $matches) || preg_match("/<\/html>/i", $line)) break; $line = ""; } else $line .= $c; } socket_close($s); $_SESSION['currency'][$from][$to]['time'] = time(); $_SESSION['currency'][$from][$to]['value'] = str_pad(round($matches[1], 5), 7, "0"); return ($matches[1]) ? str_pad(round($matches[1], 5), 7, "0") : "0.00000"; } ---- Server IP: 195.149.248.161 Probable Submitter: 213.91.245.1 (proxied: unknown) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.socket-create.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/72944 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72944/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72944/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72944/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72944/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72944/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72944/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72944 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/72944 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
