    split array into two arrays

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    I am writing a script that converts php pages to html pages for mobile devices with no net connection. I have an multi-dimensional array of urls and their replacement values:

     

    $links=array($phpURL,$fixedURL);

     

    Can I break this into two arrays, one containing all $phpURL's and another array containing all $fixedURL's?

     

     

    Here is what I am ultimately trying to do, if there is a cleaner way of doing it by all meansplease let me know.

    $text=str_replace($phpURLarray, $fixedURLarray, $text);

     

     

    Thank you once again for rescuing me from myself,

                                                                              Todd

     

    get element by key number not name

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Can I get the third element of an array regardless of it's key name? For example I have an $example array:

     

    Array ( [3] => European_SIB_Association [4] => andrew1.jpg [5] => andrew2.jpg [6] => andrew3.jpg [7] => andrew4.jpg [8] => artem )

     

    How can I get the second element even though it is named four?

     

    Thank you,

                    Todd

    Generate static html

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    I have some pages that have pretty basic php in them to include common sidebars and the site title and footer etc. I am trying to generate static html from said pages for transfer to a portable device w/o internet connection. I was using the following function, but it is just copying the php files, when I want to copy the generated html.

     

    Thank you

                    Todd

     

      function wwwcopy($link,$file){
	$content='';
	$fp = @fopen($link,"r");
	while(!feof($fp)){
		$content.= fread($fp,1024);
	}
    fclose($fp);
    $content=replace_filenames($content);
    $fp2 = @fopen($file,"w");
    fwrite($fp2,$content);
    fclose($fp2);
  }

    simplexml and non-standard characters

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    I have an xml file loaded into a simplexml object. The xml has a "ö" in it and is getting garbled in the simplexml object. Here is my test code:

     

    <?php 
      $seriesURL='http://www.thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=krod';
      echo 'SeriesURL:'.$seriesURL.'<br><br>';
      $data = simplexml_load_file($seriesURL);
      
      echo '<br><br>'. ($data->Series->SeriesName);
?>

     

    The resulting Series Name is: Kröd Mändoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire

     

    Extracting simplexml object infos

    I have an xml page loaded into a simplexml object. I am trying to create an array of SeriesNames from the simple xml object to pass to smarty. When I add a SeriesName to the $shows array, it adds it as an object not as the elements text value.

     

    PHP:

          $counter=0;
      $shows=array();
      $seriesURL='http://www.thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=bones';
      $data = simplexml_load_file($seriesURL);
      foreach($data->Series as $series){
        $shows["$counter"]['name']=$series->SeriesName;
        $counter++;
      }

     

    The XML:

    <Data>

Dr. Temperance Brennan is a highly skilled forensic anthropologist at the Jeffersonian Institute in Washington, DC. When the standard methods of identifying a body are useless - when the remains are so badly decomposed, burned or destroyed that CSI gives up - law enforcement calls in Brennan for her uncanny ability to read clues left behind in the victim's bones.

Special agent Seeley Booth of the FBI's Homicide Investigations Unit is the exception. A former Army sniper, Booth mistrusts science and scientists - the "squints," as he calls them -- who pore over the physical evidence of a crime.

    Weird characters from DB

    I am sorry. My problem occurs much earlier than inserting it into the db. Could someone point me in the direction of an article or tutorial for working with these types of characters?

     

    Thank you

    Weird characters from DB

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    I am building a Television site and have imported an xml page into a simple xml object and put the results into an sql table. My problem is with the "ö" character, although I suspect it will affect other similar characters. When I get the result from the db it is not "ö", but is "ö". I suspect it is my db setup as the row it is in is set to latin1_swedish_ci collation. Should it be something else? I know strictly this is not a php question but sql and php are so closely linked I figured someone here would be able to answer this.

     

    Thank you for your time,

    [SOLVED] download image

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    I have a function that downloads an image via curl. If the image is not available the page is an html page stating the image is not available. How can I check to see if the url to download is an image or the html page?

     

    Thank you,

                maddogandnoriko

     

    function LoadImageCURL($save_to){
	$ch = curl_init($this->source);
	$fp = fopen($save_to, "wb");

	// set URL and other appropriate options
	$options = array(CURLOPT_FILE => $fp,
									 CURLOPT_HEADER => 0,
									 CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => 0,
									 CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 60); // 1 minute timeout (should be enough)

	curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);

	$result=curl_exec($ch);
	curl_close($ch);
	fclose($fp);
	return $result;
}

    add xml object to array

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    I have an xml page loaded into a simplexml object, and have used xpath as to just work on the episode tags.

     

    $episode_data=$this->xml->xpath("/Data/Episode[id=.$tvdbID.]");

     

    When I echo the value of 'SeasonNumber' ($episode->SeasonNumber) I get a number as expected. But if I add $episode->SeasonNumber to an array:

    $this->seasonList[] = (int)$episode->SeasonNumber[0];

     

    It adds a simplexml object to the array not the number as echoed before, in the end I am trying to end up with a simple array of season #'s.

     

    I have tried to include tenough info but not sure.

     

    Thank you for any help,

    I have a function that downloads an image. Is there a way to determine if it is actually an image before downloading it? If the image is non existant there is an html page and currently the function downloads that too, which I don't need

     

     

    Thank you much

    the function

    function LoadImageCURL($save_to){
