Calling ALL Freaks "PHP Freaks that is :-)

$CL = "Craigslist";

 

I have my code all complete with one exception.

After I select a State from the drop down box the script scrapes the appropriate data from CL and displays it on the page. That's Great, right? Right!  But it also transforms all my buttons and images into a link which is the same link from the last results returned from the original request?

 

If you go to http://dezi9er.net16.net/search.php and just press submit the first attempt will return the results the way it is suppose to, But Now it turns everything into a link? click on the bouncer image or any of the buttons and it will take you to a CL listing.

 

This is crazy!  What is going on here?

Umm, If you're scraping links they'd become links after displaying them? What is your code? You're doing nothing but displaying a website to us without any relevant code.

its making all the navigation etc link to the last search result... are you closing the anchor tag correctly (</a>)?

or is this last link overriding a variable which is storing the links for the navigation etc..?

you'll have to post your code.

My Bad

 <?php
$st = isset($_POST['submit']) ? $_POST['state'] : '';

$urls = array();

if ($st == "AL") 
{

$urls = array("http://auburn.craigslist.org", "http://bham.craigslist.org");
}
else if ($st == "AK") 
{
$urls= array("http://anchorage.craigslist.org");
}
foreach ($urls as $url) {
    $html = file_get_contents("$url/muc/");

    preg_match_all('/<a href="([^"]+)">([^<]+)<\/a><font size="-1">([^"]+)<\/font>/s', $html,$posts,PREG_SET_ORDER);
    //echo "<pre>";print_r($posts);
$i = 1; //set start point;
$limit = 60; //set limit;
foreach ($posts as $post) {
   //print $post[0]; //HTML
   $post[2] = str_ireplace($url,"",$post[2]); //remove domain
   echo "<a href=\"$url{$post[1]}\">{$post[2]}<font size=\"3\">{$post[3]}<br />";
   print "<BR />\n";


   if ($i == $limit)
   {
      break;
   }
  $i++; 
}

}
?>

You never close your anchor tags (or your font tags for that matter).

 

echo "<a href=\"$url{$post[1]}\">{$post[2]}<font size=\"3\">{$post[3]}</font></a><br />";
