well first of all you need to be able to decrypt it.
what i use to get the source from files form a different site is:

(Only if your php host supports fopen_url)

Code: Select all

 
$externalfile = @fopen('http://blabla/bla.txt','r');
if ($externalfile) {
// Do stuff eg; 
$line[] = fgets($externalfile); // $line[0]
$line[] = fgets($externalfile); // $line[1]
// and more stuff
@fclose($externalfile);
}
else die("Error?");

Hi,

I am extracting data through curl, fopen() not working.
When we seeing the view source page the data is
/string_image.php?ct=AAAAAQAQUzYb8boTzm5tOyPma4-h8QAAABh0K5lczs9IdALBmOI8AvTFQ
And through image property from element property we get

/string_image.php?ct=AAAAAQAQUzYb8boTzm5tOyPma4-h8QAAABh0K5lczs9IdALBmOI8AvTFQ2PZ

Pls look at it...

It's encrypted to stop you taking it. Clearly the person who designed the page doesn't want you to get it. Why not respect their wishes?
