Anyone Using Botspotter Script?

Is anyone using the Botspotter script?

it looks awesome but the PHP code they provide generates an error for me...

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in botspotter.php on line 3

... and some of the PHP syntax they use appears quite foriegn to me (as a novice at php coding)

Can anyone see an obvious error around line 3 in this lot?

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php// Script Date: 09 Jan 2004

// your botspotter login name

$bsName = 'usercode';



// change nothing below this line

function getURI()  {

     global $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;

    $url = '/';

    if ( !empty($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'])) 

      $url = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'];

    elseif ( isset ( $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_URI']) && !empty($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_URI'])) 

        $url = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_URI'];

    if ( isset( $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'] ) && $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'] != "") 

      $url .= '?'.$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']; 



    return $url;

  }//function getURI()

  

  function getPageStatus()  {

    global $HTTP_SERVER_VARS, $HTTP_ENV_VARS;

    if (isset($HTTP_ENV_VARS['REDIRECT_STATUS'])) return $HTTP_ENV_VARS['REDIRECT_STATUS'];

    else if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REDIRECT_STATUS'])) return $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REDIRECT_STATUS'];

    else return '200';

  }//function getPageStatus()

$status = getPageStatus();

$url = 'http://www.pcpropertymanager.com/botspotter/accept.php'

        . '?server=' . urlencode( $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SERVER_NAME'])

        . '&uri=' . urlencode( getURI())

        . '&agent=' . urlencode( $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])

        . '&ip=' . urlencode( $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'])

        . "&account={$bsName}"

        . '&status=' . $status;



$fp = @fopen($url, "r") or die ("\n<a href='http://www.pcpropertymanager.com/botspotter/home.php' target='_blank'>Botspotter</a> <a href='{$url}'>disabled</a>\n");

if ($fp != false) {

  fpassthru($fp);

  fclose($fp);

}



$url = 'http://www.pcpropertymanager.com/botspotter/accref.php'

        . '?server=' . urlencode( $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SERVER_NAME'])

        . '&uri=' . urlencode( getURI())

        . "&account={$bsName}"

        . '&ref=' . urlencode($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_REFERER']);

        

fclose(fopen($url, 'r'));

?>

oops forgot URL Bot Spotter

Split the first line up on two lines and it will work.
You have to either have a space between the start tag and the comment or put the comment on a separat line.

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php// Script Date: 09 Jan 2004

change it to:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

// Script Date: 09 Jan 2004

Thanks.. I tried that before posting and it didnt help :\

I suspect it is a php version problem.

It just seems weird that it wouldnt work as is on any php platform the way they "market" it... designed to be a simple cut n paste solution any webmaster can use.

there isnt any mention of compatibilty issues in the faq and my linux with php4x platform isnt unusual.. I dont care enough to break my neck trying to make it work anyway.. there is plenty of other options.... I just wanted to test their admin analysis of my bot traffic which looked quite cool :\

Strange. It works on my PHP4.3.0.

The error implies that something is wrong before line 3. There's only comments on those lines, so are you sure you reuploaded the file after you changed it?

I concur with Swedguy. I tried your code "as-is" and got the error :

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in X:\apache\htdocs\boo.php on line 4

Then, I separated the
Entreri.

Ok.. I obviously have hackers.. someone broke in and changed something on my server!! |bat|

As you guys say, it does work with that comment moved down a line.

That really was the first thing i tried... I must have stuffed up the file upload or something :\

Thanks very much for the help Swedguy... and to you for taking the time to try it Entreri

I didnt realise it before, but it inserts a small graphic in the page.. :(

Damn those hackers ;)

Good to see that it's working now :)
