Due to a security feature it is not allowed to make cross domain calls within JavaScript. There are several ways to bypass this limitation. One of the best solutions in my opinion is to use a small flash file which makes these calls for you since Flash is able to make cross domain calls (requires a crossdomain.xml on the destination server).
Since CodeIgniter does not accept arguments via the command line, you can not call a specific controller or function.
So you have to do the following to run CI from the CLI or Cron.
Create a second file in the root directory called cronjob.php or whatever and enter these two lines of code:
$_GET["/controller/function"] = null;
require “index.php”;
Make sure to replace “controller” and “function” with your desired controller/function.
This was my first project in connection with Flash at .nemos GmbH. The backend was realized with the in-house CMS called ‘Butler’. The Flash part was done by Peter Cicman (an employee of divio.ch).

This was one of my first bigger projects. I saw similar websites and tried to build one of those myself. It became quite a success since it was mentioned in many news magazines. There is also a Firefox extension for the sake of convenience. As I don’t have a lot of spare time left at the moment this project will not be improved in the next few months. But it still does its job and keeps your private email account free of any spam mails.

Media Converter is my main project at the moment. The goal of this site is to provide the users an easy interface to convert their files online.
Either you can upload a file from your hard disk or enter a link to a website with a video. Most often it’s used to download videos from Youtube or to just get the music track of a video clip.

I was involved in this project when I was employed at .nemos GmbH. I was responsible for the backend (CMS) and the XML output for the flash application. The backend was realized with the in-house CMS called ‘Butler’. It was quite complicated but interesting to create such a complex application since everything had to be dynamically.
