Check the id(string) in text file at my homepage.

[city]

Ok, here's a more obvious hint.

#include <INet.au3>
#include <Date.au3>

$remote = _INetGetSource('http://www.somesite.com/pathto/time.txt')
$local = FileGetTime(@ScriptFullPath, 2)
$diff = _DateDiff('D', $local[0] & '/' & $local[1] & '/' & $local[2], $remote)

Then, just do some evaluation on $diff.

Can I change the date for string(something like id's charater)?

What? I have no idea what you are talking about. Describe what you want to do more clearly, and I'll give it another shot.

How about just saving a md5 string of the page. The next time you download you can compare the two md5strings and if they differ you have a new page?

hmm, could swear there was a md5 implementation in the UDF's by now, but could not find any. So you will have to search the forum. There you will find plenty. Even one (slow but works) implemented in Autoit.

#include <INet.au3>
#include <Date.au3>
$md5previous = IniRead($inifile, "md5keys", "somsite","")
$remote = _INetGetSource('http://www.somesite.com/pathto/time.txt')
$md5now = md5($remote)
If $md5previous <> md5Now Then 
    ;... Do some work
endif

#include <INet.au3>

$remote = _INetGetSource('www.geocities.com/time.txt')

$var = iniRead($remote, "date","time","NotFound")

MsgBox(4096, "Result", $var)

thx anyway^^ but I found it cant work with the ini.file(or txt) at the website. And I think iniRead function only work with local file right? Any idea?

Well, we're getting zip for information on what he's trying to do, but I'll take a guess. Is he trying to figure out if a file's date/time has changed on a website? Give us some more info on what you're trying to do, please.

Let said I am doing some program(au3.exe) for my friend, But I want to remain him when he stop using my program and I know who are using my pragram. So I need save thier user name and expired date in my homepage for checking. My program wil automatic check from my homepage when some one try to open my program. If it check the user not my friend or the date is expired then the progam will be closed.

What I want to know is how to write a such program according to the example code given by someone? Or another idea?

[PaulIA]

You'll have to download the file from your site and open it locally to check it's contents. Of course, if you can do this, so can anybody else. And they can probably modify the file too.

q1: I mean my program will check the information according to my website specified file's data, they cant change my data files at my website, except hack., right?

q2 : No another ways?

No, but they can read the file and look at all the information for your other users. From there, they can probably figure out how to impersonate another user or crack your registration code.

q2 : No another ways?

Not that I'm aware of.

A better solution would be to create a service on your web server that listens for connections on a non standard port. You app would connect to your server via this port and send it's registration information. The web service would then verify if it is valid and send a response code.

You could always encrypt the data on the server, use _InetGetSource(), and make your own custom decryption and parser from within your app yourself.
