[the-datatank] URI's with non html schemes

Tue Mar 20 15:29:15 UTC 2012

Hi list,

Euhm, the dependencies on where u get your data is only as limited as php (
or any additional library of php ). I think the file_get_contents (
http://php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php ) gets almost every
file on the web with is parameters, even ftp. So if you have i.e. a
resource called "myresource" and it takes an ftp url as a parameter u can
access it in the read(..) function, then fill it in, in the
file_get_contents function, and boom goes the dynamite.

Hopefully this was somewhat an answer to your question!

Best regards,

Jan
