You need to implement the NNTP (Network News Transport Protocol) to do
it. There's a PEAR package for this at

http://pear.php.net/package/Net_NNTP

I haven't tried it, but the last release was 2013-05-31, so it's more up
to date than many PEAR packages.

First, learn how to properly post a question or article in usenet.
Your subject has nothing to do with the question asked.
Now ask your host if your hosting package can handle the task you want it
to do.
To properly handle usenet, unless you just want to have a few private
newsgroups for your own private use, most hosts will require you to have a
dedicated IP and a server that can hanle NNTP.

Sounds like a homework assignment.

Once again it sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about. A
usenet client requires neither private newsgroups or a dedicated IP.

And I doubt very much it's a homework assignment.

I have already asked my hosts what is needed to do basically anything with
usenet on my site. They told me I needed a dedicated IP and a higher grade
package.
Yeah ok, you might get away with a dozen or so newsgroups.
But don't even consider trying to host 100,000 groups.

White it can be done, and is done on many sites, I'm just saying this is
not something to tackle if you have no idea on where to begin.
Since the OP oculdn't even get the title of the post right, let alone the
email addy, ya think he's ready to tackle what he wants to do?
I think not.

However, if I do ever want to host newsgroups on my site, I could very
easily.
I buy the service from newsguy, they install a perl script on my site and
I'm in business.

ROFLAMO! You don't even know the difference between a SERVER and a CLIENT.

It's not that hard for someone INTELLIGENT to create a client in PHP;
it's much harder for YOU to create ANYTHING - PHP or otherwise.

Tell me, Richard the Stupid, which hosts are not able to handle news clients.

Richard the Stupid, stop trying to answer questions about which you know nothing.

He's basically asking how to construct a news client in PHP -- which most emphatically
does *not* require "a dedicated IP and a server that can handle NNTP".

> Sounds like a homework assignment.

Sounds like you need a glass navel to see where you're going.

He's not talking about trying to host even one group, Richard the Stupid. All he wants to do
is read messages and post replies.

To post a message to Usenet I need a dedicated IP and a 'server that
can handle NNTP"?

NO YOU do not.
But if you wanted to host usenet newsgroups on your sebsite, then your
hosting service will determine what you need.
And you are an IT professional?
There is a lot of stuff behind the scenes you need to know about before you
tackle such a project. It ain't as simple as writing a few pages and
hooking up to an account.
Ya see Evan, I did all this research some 15 years ago and found out what
it takes.

We are not speaking of clients here. That is not what the OP wants to know
about.
Can your news client run directly off your website as is?
I don't think so.

Aren't you one of the asswipes around here bitchin and whinin about how I
insult you so much? So whay are you insulting me just for trying to educate
someone?

If you can't stand the heat, get the hell out of the kitchen.
If you can't take it, don't dish it out.

If I'm so stupid, why do I rtouinely get IQ test score of 125?

Excuse me kind sir, how do you post usenet messages from a website without
hosting a group?
Usenet is not part of a web hosting service.
Now how ya gonna tap into usenet?
You need a newsfeed from somewhere.

Ok smartboy, answer me this then.
You have one newsgroup that the public at large can have total, free access
to. You have a single account with a usenet service.
Ten days after you go online, suddenly it stops working.
Why? So the provider says, "Excessive bandwidth" and a number of other
reasons.
You dicker back and forth and come to find out they won't continue the
service because you are abusing the account TOS. So how do you rectify the
problem?
Pay some big bucks for a proper newsfeed and you'll be back in business.

retrieve message from nntp server with nntp, format for display, display.

compose response in textarea, send to nntp server.

Yes, we know that, doesn't mean you need to operate a full blown nntp
server to display newsgroup messages on web pages.

see above

> You need a newsfeed from somewhere.

Yes, but this doesn't mean that you need to run an nntp daemon on the
webhost.

But the OP is not asking what you seem to think he's asking, so you made
one your famous ass assumptions about what he wants to do, and as a
result have posted a load of irrelevant bullshit.

The OP is asking how to post an nntp message using php. He didn't even
say "website", the website issue was one that you introduced to the
discussion.

Which has absolutely NOTHING to do with the OPs question. But we know
you're too stoopid to understand that.

However, judging from the From header field value which violates the
pertinent standards in the first place (not to mention that it disregards
Netiquette), one can reasonably assume any helpful answers to this OP would
be feeding a troll or helping a spammer to spam Usenet more efficiently.

Indeed, someone who does not know Usenet well enough to know NNTP, and to
look up the pertinent sections of the PHP Manual, is neither qualified for
the task nor likely to do good things with that knowledge once obtained.
The spammer assumption on the OP aside, consider the number of incredibly
borken Web interfaces to Usenet (Google Groups included) which are *used by*
spammers and other lusers, the latter who have never heard of Usenet but
are thinking they are using a Web forum instead.

Yes, it is *exactly* what the OP wants to know about: how to read and post on Usenet. That
is the definition of a news client.

> Can your news client run directly off your website as is?

Who said anything about websites?

Because you're providing incorrect answers to questions that were not asked.

> If you can't stand the heat, get the hell out of the kitchen.
> If you can't take it, don't dish it out.

You insult and abuse people from whom you seek help, without justification.

People here insult and abuse you with ample justification -- this thread is one more
example. You misunderstood the OP's question, and answered a question he did not ask --
and your answers were wrong.

> If I'm so stupid, why do I rtouinely get IQ test score of 125?

Because you're lying, I suppose -- and even if you're telling the truth about that, 125 is
*nothing* to brag about.

> Pres. Obabma is 105.

Uh-huh.

Where did "website" come from? The OP never said anything about that.

In any event, it doesn't matter where you post messages from -- all that's needed is some
sort of client software that will send an NNTP message to a Usenet server. You don't have
to host groups to be able to post to them.

> Usenet is not part of a web hosting service.

Nobody claimed it was, Richard the Stupid.

> Now how ya gonna tap into usenet?
> You need a newsfeed from somewhere.

That doesn't mean you have to host anything. Newsfeeds are freely available from dozens
of sources. So what?

Why would they do that? If it's my machine, I can whatever I want - as

LOL my bad.

Grammar. Makes the difference between "Let's eat Grandma" and "Let's

I've always assumed the fact that I consistently score between 155 and
175 proves that the tests are rigged to indicate a higher score than they
should, mainly to encourage people to join mensa and pay their membership
fees.

More bullshit. There's no way you're anywhere near 125.

Nothing you say is to be believed, bullis.

"Yes I saw Wally Byam. In 1966, He was at the same campground I was
at." (Wally died in 1962).
