security - SoundCloud app and client_id parameter with PHP -


i've come across open source project on github, soundcloud-profile-backup, user has developed web page php code:

require 'secure.php'; //create secure.php , set variable $client_id client_id

the $client_id variable subsequently used (but never set explicitly in web page, can see) parameter of \resolve resource in soundcloud http api.

here's fragment of line it's used:

http://api.soundcloud.com/resolve.json?url=http://soundcloud.com/$username&client_id=$client_id

since i'm not familiar php , soundcloud app development, questions are:

  • the project open source, there's no secure.php available, assume it's somehow part of php , not created ad-hoc. what's secure.php then?
  • what's $client_id variable exactly? kind of php built-in variable set whenever secure.php included, hinted comment?

require 'secure.php'; , $client_id variable used in app (we spoke on software recommendations) , has nothing soundcloud or php.

basically, idea behind file secure.php , $client_id have credentials soundcloud's api in single file. file in .gitignore file not sent off github. way have script public , credentials private.

for information on require '';, check out require function on php.org. basically, makes sure file given in parameters loads , if doesn't, script errors out.

the $client_id 32 character id given soundcloud's developer app dashboard.

again, soundcloud , php have nothing secure.php or $client_id - used in app.

css - Make div keyboard-scrollable in jQuery Mobile? -

from can tell, although jquery-mobile-powered pages can contain divs overflow set scroll or auto, , these divs can scrolled one-screen bar or mouse wheel, cannot scrolled using arrow keys, page-up/page-down, or home/end. instead, official "page" div (with data-role="page") absorbs input. perhaps other divs can't acquire focus, i'm not sure. is there way around this? edit: jsfiddle of simple example: https://jsfiddle.net/qogz0shx/ <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquerymobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile.min.js"> </script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.css"/> <style> #outer { overflow:scroll; height: 50vh; width: 50vw; } #inner { height: 500vh; width: 500vw; } ...
