Hey folks, <div><br></div><div>Just an update on the project that I was working on. </div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.astonesthrowaway.co.uk">www.astonesthrowaway.co.uk</a> is live, check it out. The beacon is having some servicing at the moment so isn't active but the question I need help on is in the PHP webcam script that I was working on a month ago. </div>
<div><br></div><div>the updated code can be found here: <a href="http://pastebin.com/xsd9tKU6">http://pastebin.com/xsd9tKU6</a></div><div><br></div><div>To my alarm I was looking at the site from a web kiosk at the BBC and the home page was throwing a 404. Now I realise this might be a simple case of the site not being on their allowed list, but oddly I could still get still to the backend and preview the site through an Iframe just fine from the same computer. Could my script be causing this error? The script generates the image for the background of the page so I directed the browser to the script itself and the browser balked, citing an illegal execution - I assume this to be the echo on line 38, which dumps the jpg data to the browser (with appropriate headers).</div>
<meta charset="utf-8"><div><br></div><div>Will a few folks running windows take a look at this for me? I've previewed this in IE6,7,8 in an emulator and didn't run into this behaviour. Whats alarming is that the site is totally inaccessible to anyone working under these restrictions - very bad news.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Anybody have any bright ideas? </div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks,</div><div>Ben Rush</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>On 4 April 2010 14:41, Ben Rush <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:orionrush@gmail.com">orionrush@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:</div>

camera is there is failing and printing an error, which generates<br>
output, which means you cant send any headers.<br>
<br>
prefix the fopen with an @ sign<br>
