maineyak Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I accidentally posted this in the wrong forum, I guess this is where I should have posted it. ----------------------------------------- Below is a code for a tag cloud, I would like to add a + to replace the spaces in the urls created, but cannot figure out how to do it. I'm no coder, but I can usually figure things out by googling and other methods, but this one has had me stumped for 2 days! So blue widget would have an url like http://www.domain.com/blue+widget rather than http://www.domain.com/blue widget I will be forever indebted if you can help me lol. <?php $CFG['db_host'] = 'localhost'; $CFG['db_user'] = 'USER'; $CFG['db_pass'] = 'PASSWORD'; $CFG['db_name'] = 'DB'; mysql_connect($CFG['db_host'], $CFG['db_user'], $CFG['db_pass']) or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db($CFG['db_name']); function tag_info() { $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tags GROUP BY tag_name ORDER BY RAND() DESC LIMIT 40"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $arr[$row['tag_name']] = $row['count']; } //ksort($arr); return $arr; } function tag_cloud() { $min_size = 14; $max_size = 22; $tags = tag_info(); $minimum_count = min(array_values($tags)); $maximum_count = max(array_values($tags)); $spread = $maximum_count - $minimum_count; if($spread == 0) { $spread = 1; } $cloud_html = ''; $cloud_tags = array(); $step = ($max_size - $min_size)/($spread); foreach ($tags as $tag => $count) { $size = $min_size + ($count - $minimum_count) * $step; // $size = ($max_size + $min_size)/$spread; $cloud_tags[] = '<a style="font-size: '. floor($size) . 'px' . '" class="tag_cloud" href="/search-' . $tag .'-blended' . '" title="' . $count . ' searches for \'' . $tag . '\'">' . htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($tag)) . '</a>'; } $cloud_html = join("\n", $cloud_tags) . "\n"; return $cloud_html; } ?> <?php if (!eregi('[.@\"\'!/:%]', $_GET['k'])) if (mysql_affected_rows()){ mysql_query("UPDATE tags SET count=count+1 WHERE tag_name=\"".$_GET["k"]."\""); } if (!mysql_affected_rows()){ mysql_query("INSERT INTO tags SET tag_name=\"".$_GET["k"]."\", count=1, search_date=NOW()"); } ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaza165 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 well you can simply replace the space in your url with a + sign using str_replace <?php $url = "http://www.domain.com/blue widget"; $url = str_replace(" ","+",$url); echo $url; // http://www.domain.com/blue+widget ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphanumetrix Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 He's right, str_replace() will work, but seeing as you're "not a coder," I'm guessing you wouldn't know how to intergrate that. This *should* work. <?php $CFG['db_host'] = 'localhost'; $CFG['db_user'] = 'USER'; $CFG['db_pass'] = 'PASSWORD'; $CFG['db_name'] = 'DB'; mysql_connect($CFG['db_host'], $CFG['db_user'], $CFG['db_pass']) or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db($CFG['db_name']); function tag_info() { $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tags GROUP BY tag_name ORDER BY RAND() DESC LIMIT 40"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $arr[$row['tag_name']] = $row['count']; } //ksort($arr); return $arr; } function tag_cloud() { $min_size = 14; $max_size = 22; $tags = tag_info(); $minimum_count = min(array_values($tags)); $maximum_count = max(array_values($tags)); $spread = $maximum_count - $minimum_count; if($spread == 0) { $spread = 1; } $cloud_html = ''; $cloud_tags = array(); $step = ($max_size - $min_size)/($spread); foreach ($tags as $tag => $count) { $size = $min_size + ($count - $minimum_count) * $step; // $size = ($max_size + $min_size)/$spread; $theurl = htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($tag)); $theurl = str_replace(" ", "+", $theurl); $cloud_tags[] = '<a style="font-size: '. floor($size) . 'px' . '" class="tag_cloud" href="/search-' . $tag .'-blended' . '" title="' . $count . ' searches for \'' . $tag . '\'">' . $theurl . '</a>'; } $cloud_html = join("\n", $cloud_tags) .

maineyak Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 This returns a blank page, what would be causing that?

gffg4574fghsDSGDGKJYM Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Use urlencode() OR rawurlencode() instead of str_replace() http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.urlencode.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rawurlencode.php And use urldecode() or rawurldecode() on the others end.

maineyak Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 I just played around with a bit more, and this is what worked: $tag = htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($tag)); $tags = htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($tag)); $tag = str_replace(" ", "+", $tag); $cloud_tags[] = '<a style="font-size: '. floor($size) . 'px' . '" class="tag_cloud" href="/search-' . rawurlencode($tag) .'-blended' . '" title="' . $count . ' searches for \'' . $tag . '\'">' . $tags . '</a>'; } Thanks for the help!
