Hi Ron,
Re: CD signup scripting

I just used Optigold, Optiskin, ISPWizard and my own poor php skills to
create a new dialup user in Optigold using nothing more than the signup cd
and the clients computer....
Watch out for word wrapping....
Here is what I added to the optiskin file signup3.php
<? include "/path/to/signup_files/ins_helper.php"; ?>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0;
URL=http://www.yoursite.com/path_to_ins_file/<? echo "$inslogin.ins"; ?>">
<? include "/path/to/signup_files/ins_unhelper.php";"; ?>
Now for the ins_helperfile.php file. I tried to make it easy for someone
to use it.. Just make the variables your own...
<?
// Set your variables here, detail_file is the complete path and filename
to be the insfile. entry_name is the name of your ISP..
//
$my_entry_name = "VisionSix Internet";
$my_domain = "visionsix.com";
$my_dns1 = "65.202.119.4";
$my_dns2 = "65.202.119.5";
$my_smtp_server = "mail.visionsix.com";
$my_pop3_server = "mail.visionsix.com";
$my_news_server = "news1.visionsix.com";
// Gets the variables from Optiskin. You many want to get more but this
will basically do it
//
$inslogin = $HTTP_POST_VARS["Login"];
$inspassword = $HTTP_POST_VARS["Password"];
$insfname = $HTTP_POST_VARS["First_Name"];
$inslname = $HTTP_POST_VARS["Last_Name"];
// One more variable needed from you; this sets the .ins file to match the
username
// detail_file is the complete path and filename to be the insfile that
will be created on the fly
//
$my_detail_file = "/home/www/visionsix/www/signup/$inslogin.ins";
// Just for testing to see the variables. You probably don't want this
once it's working.
//
echo $inslogin;
echo "<br>";
echo $inspassword;
echo "<br>";
echo $insfname;
echo "<br>";
echo $inslname;
echo "<br>";
echo "<br>";
// Open the file (Make sure the variable is set for the $my_detail_file
//
$fp = fopen( "$my_detail_file" , "w" );
// Open the file or fail
//
if(!$fp) {
echo "There was a problem with the ins file. Try again later.";
exit;
}
// Get the content and put it in the file; I had to have this all on one
line so fix the wrap :-)
//
$inputString =
"\n[Entry]\nEntry_Name=$my_entry_name\n[Device]\nType=modem\n[Internet_Mai
l]\nPOP_Server=$my_pop3_server\nSMTP_Server=$my_smtp_server\nEmail_Address
=$inslogin@$my_domain\nEmail_Name=$insfname
$inslname\nPOP_Logon_Name=$inslogin\nPOP_Logon_Password=$inspassword\n[Int
ernet_News]\nNNTP_Server=$my_news_server\n[TCP/IP]\nDNS_Address=$my_dns1\n
DNS_Alt_Address=$my_dns2\n[User]\nName=$inslogin\nPassword=$inspassword";
// You really don't want this echoed unless you are testing.
//
// echo "<pre>";
// echo "$inputString";
// echo "</pre>";
// We do need to write this stuff to the file...
//
fwrite( $fp, $inputString );
//
// Closes the file
fclose( $fp );
?>
And lastly the un_inshelper file
<?
// Deletes the ins file, we're going to make a new one for each person
anyway :-)
//
if ($inslogin) {
unlink( "/home/www/visionsix/www/signup/$inslogin.ins"; );
} else {
print "what file?";
?>
Change the variables to meet your needs and have fun. This really has no
error checking so it may wreak havoc, cause bad weather, and completely
ruin everything on your server - however- it's worked fine for me so I
hope maybe it help some of you...
Thanks,
Lewis
