Later, he moved to the  USA, working in McDonalds in New York, and then in California.Recently, he works in Bank of America in the Los Angeles suburb of San Bernadrino.See how Mohamed looked in 1968. 

Some time ago, there was a question on the Drupal forums about wrapping content from another site to your site.

Here is a basic PHP code snippet that would do just that. You may need to fiddle with the HTML to make the paths absolute to the site that you are wrapping.

If you have improvements, please let me know. 

Also, please do not use this to leech content from other sites, and obey their copyright rules. 

Method 1: Using fopen on a URL 

$url = "http://example.com";

$handle = @fopen ( $url, "r" );
if ( $handle ) {
 while ( true ) {
   $data = fgets ( $handle, 4096 );
   print $data;

   if ( true == feof( $handle ) ) {
       break;
       }
 }

 fclose ( $handle );
}
else {
 $result .= t("Could not contact host: ") . $url;
}

Method 2: Using fopen on a URL - more concise way

After writing the above, Drupal hacker par excellance, Karoly Negyesi (a.k.a. chx), found  a much more elegant and simple solution:

Those who like sausages should not see how they are made -- Anonymous

When you are in the midst of developing a web site, you often do not want anyone to see it while it is work in progress. Things are often broken, look ugly, ...etc.

Keeping humans off is not the only reason as well: you also need to keep out search engine crawlers, comment spam bots, email harvesters, Internet Archiver, ...etc.

At the same time, you want specific people to be able to access the site, such as the theme designer, fellow developers, someone from the client's company, ...etc. 

Gwynne Dyer, a reknown Canadian journalist, historian, academic and essayist on international affairs, writes that the recent Egyptian Presidential Elections are a Cynical Farce! He mentions that the ruling party engaged in everything from ballot stuffing to bussing government workers to vote en masse after it was apparent that the turn out was very low. He also correctly notes that President Bush, who says he wants democracy in the region, do not want to see Mubarak go.

I occasionally check Technorati to see if somebody cared to link to something they read on my web site. Two days ago, I was doing the random spot checking, and found that my site is linked to from Drupal.org. This is not out of the norm, since I have been using Drupal and contributing to it for some time. What was surprising was to see that a new aggregator was put in, and called Drupal Planet. Althought I frequent Drupal.org daily, I sometimes miss checking the front page, and go to the tracker directly!

Mohamed's nickname in school was "Toffee", derived from the Tawfik in his name.Mohamed was good in sports, and was a serious swimmer in high school and beyond. He graduated in commerce, and now lives in New York. He got an MBA from New York in 1988, and passed New York State CPA exam in 1992.Then he decided to start his own business, and now runs a company that specializes in Organic Cotton products, called sckoon. His wife is from Japan, and he has one daughter.See how Mohamed looked in 1966! 

Magdy was my classmate in E.G.C. from kindergarten to grade 9 (3rd preparatory), then in El Nassereya for High School, then in University at the College of Pharmacy. He was the only one who was with me for the entire span of 17 years of education.Magdy came from a relatively wealthy Christian Coptic family. They own the Sabry pharmacy in Rushdy, Alexandria, as well as several other ventures over the years, including such factories as Handy Tissue and Paper, and others. As a youngster, Magdy was fiesty, and sometimes hyperactive. I remember he once got into trouble in the first year of high school because he punched someone who pushed him while going up the stairs to class. He used to drive hard too. One time, I was with him in a red Volkswagen Golf he had while in university, and he went to the other lane (between Sidi Gaber and Mostafa Kamel) where a bus was coming directly at us. He accelerated so hard and we made it to safetly.

Hazem was my classmate for 9 years at E.G.C. We were in the same class in our last year before leaving that school. We always bickered and fought for various reasons.Hazem's father was the dealer for Texas Instruments computers, and had a data center in Glym. Hazem pursued a degree in Computers at Alexandria University.He now works for the World Health Organization (WHO), East Mediterranean Regional Office (EMRO) as a Technical Assistant for Health Information and Communication.You can visit his web site which focuses on the ex-Royal Family of Egypt, which is somehow tied to Hazem, as well as some stuff of Golf, Cigars and Travel. Hazem is also interested in his own genealogy.

Ahmed Ezz El Din Fahmy was initially in my same class in E.G.C., but later moved to another school (E.B.S. I think). His nickname was MeeshoBy the time we were in High School, we were in the same school again, El Nassereya in Bakos. He remembers that I fixed his fishing rod one day. I have no memory of that incident myself, but I did go fishing at Glym beach in High School, and we may have done so together. By coincidence, it turns out that his mother and my mother were classmates too, and his mother is friends with my aunt to this day.

Khaled Mounir was one of my classmates from kindergarten to grade 9 at E.G.C. We were the only two Khaled's in our grade, and we were in the same class most of the time. Following his father's footsteps, he specialized in Ophthalmology and is an eye surgeon at El Mowasa Hospital in Alexandria, and the head of the department there. He also has a private practice.I have not seen Khaled for about 20 years, apart from running into him by accident in a gas station in Alexandria many years ago. He visited me in Summer 2005 while I was on vacation in Egypt. What is interesting is that he ran across my web site by accident, and
