Advantages & Disadvantages

Dear All,

Please let me know your feedback on the package after using it.

What can be the disadvantages of releasing it open source? Will people misuse it?

first of all-would you plz give us the index.php of your package?bcoz without it we cannot use it and we can't know what is the advantage and disadvantage.but my opinion is,it is a good tool for personal using,so thanks a lot for giving such an effective package.thanks a lot man!!!

Sorry, I missed uploading that file.

It has been now added to the files list.

Thanks for your feedback. Use it and let me know.

hi, will u do me one favor?how can i enable CURL library or download them?
while i am running your package i got this error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\email\yahoo\class.GrabYahoo.php on line 274

this means CURL library is not in my PHP.
it will be great help for me,if you just show me the way to use CURL.

You will have to search for "curl" in php.ini file and comment that setting so that it is enabled. After that, restart apache & php.

First I want to thank you for releasing it as open source. Very nice work. You saved me a lot of work.

In my opinion each of the services should require unique Authentication ID's per application. The code should require that the user enter their own ID's into the config file. That way each service could block abusive users by ID.

One of the problems I can envision is a spammer looking to harvest email addresses using something like this against people with weak, easily cracked passwords.

Dear Michael,

Thanks to you too for trying out the application.

You are right, it can be used by a spammer to harvest email addresses for accounts which have weak passwords.

About authentication, I didn't quite understand what you are trying to say. Can you please elaborate?

Authentication would be something like the developer API key Google require to include Google Maps in any application. This is something each provider would have to do, not something you could do unless you wanted to manage an authentication system yourself. But that would probably be a little much for an open source php script.

That would be useful, but you were right in saying that it would be too much for an open source script.

Good work done guys , keep it up :-)
