ASP Problem to CRONTAB + file_get_contents [Expert]
in [ASP]
|
From: Pseudonyme on 24 Mar 2010 05:55 Hi all ! I have some questions to experts that relate to ASP SERVERS. 1. Is that possible to recognize the platform of a website ? From example : If I take this website : http://www.latimes.com How do I know if it is PHP or ASP ? Is there a trick ? 2. The CRON TAB. Monitoring the server through CRON tables is very useful. A CRON command that would execute a script every 10 minutes is : */10 * * * * sh /etc/cron-script/read-latimes Is that the same configuring a CRON event in ASP ? 3. The Get-Web-Content function. To avoid the client-algo to be played by client browsers, we have the algo played one time by the server. (decrease the electricity bill of the user). How to get the content using ASP script ? In PHP : it is like this : $homepage = file_get_contents(''http://andersen.times.com/adveruser/ adverpay.php?country=1270331545&time=1236928998'); echo $homepage; What about in ASP ? Thank you very much dear Madams and Sirs, for your answer. .... By the way :"MSFT do not propose a tool to convert PHP code into ASP code. As an initial opinion, our consultant said that is a big mistake may be explaning why the stock price stays flat since the last 10 years. A lack of new client acquisitions he said". .... Cougloff

You can look for identifiable headers to try and figure it out, but as the code is executed server side in most cases it's not possible to tell. Given that most of the pages on the LA Times site have .aspx extensions it's most likely the home page is ASP.NET as well (.aspx is ASP.NET, .asp is Classic ASP). ASP.NET is not relevant to this newsgroup. > 2. The CRON TAB.

ASP doesn't have CRON events. It's a server side platform for executing code in response to HTTP requests through IIS. You could use a scheduled task to fire up a browser or a component that makes a HTTP request to the server running ASP, but that is outside the scope of discussions about ASP. > 3.

In ASP you would use a COM component, such as ServerXMLHTTP, to process the request. ASP does not natively have a way to request contents from URLs. > Thank you very much dear Madams and Sirs, for your answer. > > ... > > By the way :"MSFT do not propose a tool to convert PHP code into ASP > code.

Your consultant is an idiot. Converting code between platforms is inherently problematic - not all language compilers have the same features. And there is no such thing as "ASP code" - ASP is a platform that can handle any compatible language, by default runs VBScript and JavaScript (JScript/ECMAScript), but it's also possible to use Perl or TCL if you have the appropriate parser installed. -- Dan
From: Pseudonyme on 24 Mar 2010 13:04 Thank you Don for your information that I carefully read. - configuring a CRON event in ASP ? Automatic events are very important to our friend-partner. Every 10-20 minutes, he must do 3-4 jobs that only an AS-IS CRON event for ASP can do.... We will inquire regarding that feature. - retrieving HTML pages It sounds very important to retrieve HTML pages. Many example of use. We will search about ServerXMLHTTP for an AS-IS file_get_contents function from PHP. - PHP into PERL ? The Perl Language seems to be more powerful that PHP ? What do you think about that ? An automatic tool to convert ? A translator like translating italian into english ... some tools work so well in that matter ! Thank you for your answer and comments, we will give your info to the consultant if we meet him again. Cougloff.

Then you'll have to find something else to do this for you - as I said, this something outside of the remit of ASP. > - retrieving HTML pages > > It sounds very important to retrieve HTML pages.

Tried Perl years ago, couldn't get to grips with it. I use PHP on Linux boxes, don't even use Perl on them. > An automatic tool to convert ? > A translator like translating italian into english ... some tools work > so well in that matter ! I've never found one that doesn't end up making a mess of things. 100% conversion is in most cases not possible. > Thank you for your answer and comments, we will give your info to the > consultant if we meet him again. Given his advice to you so far, I'd find another consultant. -- Dan
