I want to create a SEO friendly site and I have used mod rewrite(even though i dont know how to work it) to arrange the vars for me but as I am making custom functions I thought I would make a viewController and I want to use the following code <?php // Example URL http://localhost/page/227/more/772 $urlVar = explode("/",$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PATH_INFO']); $page = $urlVar[1]; $extra = $urlVar[3]; ?> So what I am looking for is for the mod rewrite to just access the index.php and the php script will detect vars etc.... Is it possible? can you help? Thanks Paul

actualy just found the problem the flash player only loads if you have javascript and flash enabled and I am only curling into the page.. is there any options to enable these or am I just stuck with what I have?

cool forgot the all I got it parsing all I wanted from that page was the links so I can spider out and gather information like title description etc all is good apart from trying to extract the flash vars this is an example of the code I am trying to get <div id="flashContainer" class="cb flashEnabled hidden"> <object id="catchUpPlayer" width="625" height="1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/static/programmes/asset/flash/swf/4odplayer-4.30.2.swf"> <param name="align" value="top"/> <param name="scale" value="noscale"/> <param name="salign" value="lt"/> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/> <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"/> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"/> <param name="flashvars" value="brandTitle=Peep%20Show&wsBrandTitle=peep-show&primaryColor=0xCC0000&secondaryColor=0xCC0000&invertSkin=false&preSelectAsset=3005546&preSelectAssetGuidance=Strong%20language%20and%20adult%20humour&preSelectAssetImageURL=/assets/programmes/images/peep-show/series-6/episode-6/3b010dd1-69d3-490c-9985-19ad79f20557_625x352.jpg&pinRequestCallback=C4.PinController.doPinChecks"/> </object> and I am trying to get the "preSelectAssetImageURL=/assets/programmes/images/peep-show/series-6/episode-6/3b010dd1-69d3-490c-9985-19ad79f20557_625x352.jpg" out of it ... I am trying preg match again but nothing seems to be working <?php require('function.php'); $url = "http://www.channel4.com/programmes/peep-show/4od"; $page = curlEngine($url); // Find Image flashContainer preg_match('#<object\b[^>]*id=([\'"])?catchUpPlayer(?(1)\1)[^>]*>.*?</object>#s', $page['content'], $bigImage); ?> any hints thanks Paul

i was thinking of going down the DOM route using xpath but thought I would give preg match ago... Ill try that if fails time to read up on xpath lol

I dont know if this is in the right section but it has regex in it?!?! What I am trying to do is scrape http://www.channel4.com/programmes/4od/all to get the titles and links so I can recurse through the website picking up information I know how to get the title names and hrefs through regex but MAJOR but There are a lot of spans I am trying to get with the same name so my question is How can I loop through the results to get all title names and links etc... I have some code that I am just trying with which has the problems <?php require('function.php'); // Has some custom functions in this file $url = "http://www.channel4.com/programmes/4od/all"; // Url we are searching $getUrl = curlEngine($url); $content = $getUrl['content']; preg_match('#<span\b[^>]*class=([\'"])?programme-info(?(1)\1)[^>]*>.*?</span>#s', $content, $match); foreach($match as $match){ print $match; } ?> Any help would be appreciated Thanks Paul

Hi, Here is my problem. I have a streaming service that works ok for using a dynamic database passing a variable from an external source. But what I want to do is stream from a local server but using a devise called flvstreamer. The reason why I cannot really plugin the service into my existing program is because it is written in perl although I know the basics this is too complicated to start mashing around Here is what I think will work (still need help) <?php header('Content-type: video/x-flv'); $url = $_GET['vidUrl']; exec('/home/public/flvstreamer' , '--host $url'); ?> Now it should be that simple but the system is not executing the video and I donot know what the problems are. Could anyone give any tips or advise all is greatly appreciated

here is what I am trying to do I have the basic mod rewrite for say index.php?view=home and in the htaccess file i have RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)$ index.php?view=$1 [L] Now what I am trying to do is get this to work in htaccess index.php?view=home&p=more I havent had much time with mod rewrite and tbh I havent needed more than one variablie in the url. If yuo could point me in the right direction that would be ace Thanks

THANK YOU KEITH this one done the trick SELECT a.* FROM programme a INNER JOIN (SELECT title, MIN(pid) AS MinPid FROM programme WHERE title LIKE 'A%' GROUP BY title) b ON a.title = b.title AND a.pid = b.MinPid Sorry for being a pain my brain has been slow for a good few weeks Thanks again

Hi thanks I tried but it wont get me the full row. for instance I am using SELECT DISTINCT title FROM programme WHERE title LIKE 'A%' it works for just bringing back the title but I am needing one more item to get me to a result page which is pid now when I use the following SELECT DISTINCT title, pid FROM programme WHERE title LIKE 'A%' It does what it was before and list everything any ideas?

I see that would work if I am wanting one programme but what it is <programme> <AZ letter="A"> <?php $queryA = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM programme WHERE title LIKE 'A%'"); while($rowA=mysql_fetch_array($queryA, MYSQL_ASSOC)){ ?> <title><?=$rowA['title']?></title> <description><?=$rowA['description']?></description> <pID><?=$rowA['pID']?></pID> <?php } ?> </AZ> </programme> So on and so forth. Since I have this updating the db every hour I wont know what show to look for to put into distinct

Hi, Yes it all gets parsed into one table incl all relevant data. I am trying to show one result for each programme but instead it shows all programmes including all episodes its for an xml structure a to z

that would be excellent but I donot have control over the list it comes from the BBC and Parses it into the DB. So is there no other way ? Thanks
