SkillsToShow Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I have this code that I want to insert for my own variable but I have no idea how. This is what I want to insert: <?php echo $my_twitter_username; ?> Into this code: <?php [i]function twittercount () { // I added this myself, not sure if I should, but if not there line below does not work global $my_twitter_username; // Im sure this is needed or the call in will not work.[/i] $tw = get_option("twitterfollowerscount"); if ($tw['lastcheck'] < ( mktime() - 3600 ) ) { $xml=file_get_contents('http://twitter.com/users/show.xml?screen_name=[u][b]WANT TO INSERT HERE[/b][/u]'); if (preg_match('/followers_count>(.*)</',$xml,$match)!=0) { $tw['count'] = $match[1]; } $tw['lastcheck'] = mktime(); update_option("twitterfollowerscount",$tw); } echo $tw['count']; } ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/187929-inserting-a-variable-in-a-link/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkillsToShow Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Thank you! It worked The only thing is that you need to remove the function line at the top.
