Problem with the OGG link

[Jza]

I found issues triying to download the Ogg file for yesterday's show.

How are you trying to download the file? Manually? There may be an issue with a particular mirror. Try it a couple times. Each time it will go to the next mirror.

I see thanks for the tech support.

Linc wrote the PHP for the mirror script. Generally it's a bad idea to open the code to an internet facing script unless you've had sufficient time to test it for security.

If you ask nice Linc might tell you what PHP function he used to pick a random mirror.

The majority of it looks like this:

Code: Select all

<?
if(!isset($_GET['fname'])) { header("Location: http://tllts.org"); exit; }
$fname=$_GET['fname'];

$db = mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password");
mysql_select_db("$database",$db);
$query = "select link from mirror where link like '%$fname%'";
$result = mysql_query($query,$db) or die(mysql_error());
$recs = mysql_num_rows($result);
$counter='0';
while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result))
        {
        $counter++;
        $link[$counter]=$myrow['link'];
        }

srand((double)microtime()*1000000); 
$mirrorno=rand(0,$recs);
if ($mirrorno=='0')
        {
        $query = "select link from audio where link like '%$fname%'";
        $result = mysql_query($query,$db) or die(mysql_error());
        while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result))
                {
                $link[$counter]=$myrow['link'];
                }
        }

header("Location: $link[$mirrorno]");
?>

Basically, there is a table that holds the links of all the shows that are hosted on a mirror. The script queries that table for all the url's with that show and randomly picks one of them and redirects to that mirror.

Great, thanks.
