How To Solve This Php Rss Parse Problem?

[profmustamar]

Hello, I am new here.

 

I am using WordPress, and I want to show 5 items from Search Engine (bing), related to my blog content.

I want to change "This+Is+Search+Keyword" with my post title ($title or the_title()), so every single post in my blog will have 5 related bing results.

 

Here the code I am using. Can somebody help me?

 

<?php
function DisplayTitle($title){
$title = the_title();			   //this is my post title//
$title = str_replace(' ', '+', $title);
return ($title);
}
$FixTitle = DisplayTitle($title);

$rss = new DOMDocument();
$rss->load('http://www.bing.com/search?q=This+Is+Search+Keyword&format=RSS');	  // <<<<<<   I want to change "this is keyword" with "my post title"//

$feed = array();
foreach ($rss->getElementsByTagName('item') as $node) {
$item = array (
 'title' => $node->getElementsByTagName('title')->item(0)->nodeValue,
 'desc' => $node->getElementsByTagName('description')->item(0)->nodeValue,
 'link' => $node->getElementsByTagName('link')->item(0)->nodeValue,
 'date' => $node->getElementsByTagName('pubDate')->item(0)->nodeValue,
 );
array_push($feed, $item);
}
$limit = 5;
for($x=0;$x<$limit;$x++) {
$title = str_replace(' & ', ' & ', $feed[$x]['title']);
$link = $feed[$x]['link'];
$description = $feed[$x]['desc'];
$date = date('l F d, Y', strtotime($feed[$x]['date']));
echo '<p><strong><a href="'.$link.'" title="'.$title.'">'.$title.'</a></strong><br />';
echo '<small><em>Posted on '.$date.'</em></small></p>';
echo '<p>'.$description.'</p>';
}
?>

I have been trying with this:

$rss->load('http://www.bing.com/search?q='.$FixTitle.'&format=RSS'); 

 

But it doesn't work.

Can somebody help?

[TOA]

But it doesn't work.

 

Can you elaborate?

 

Do you have error reporting turned on?

[Jessica]

First, echo that string, then go visit the url. What do you see?

[profmustamar]

I got error when Echo it first.

 

 

btw, Please check in my blog: http://caracepathamils.com/cara-mendapatkan-anak-perempuan/

You will see under the comment form, "Related post to... (post title)".

There should be the results from this code.

$FixTitle = DisplayTitle($posttitle);

$rss = new DOMDocument();

$feed = array();

array_push($feed, $item);

$link = $feed[$x]['link'];

No, I'm not going to your blog, especially if you won't even help us help you. You get an error? Great!!! WHAT WAS IT?

[profmustamar]

Okay.

After changing to this:

$rss->load('http://www.bing.com/search?q='.$FixTitle.'&format=RSS');

I got no result. (Check attachment)

 

Then after I echo it first, I got this:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO in /home/mustamar/public_html/caracepathamils.com/wp-content/themes/twentyten/single.php on line 33

[Jessica]

Then your syntax is wrong. You didn't post your new code. We can't see your screen. We can't see your code. We can't see your errors. You have a basic syntax error, look at the code you added. Are you using an IDE with syntax highlighting? It would be obvious.

[profmustamar]

I change to this:

$rss->load('http://www.bing.com/search?q='.echo $FixTitle.'&format=RSS');

 

I got syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO.

$rss = new DOMDocument();

$rss->load('http://www.bing.com/search?q='.echo $FixTitle.'&format=RSS');  /* <<<  I want to change "this is keyword" with "my post title" */

$feed = array();

array_push($feed, $item);
}
$limit = 5;
for($x=0;$x<$limit;$x++) {
$title = str_replace(' & ', ' & ', $feed[$x]['title']);
$link = $feed[$x]['link'];
$description = $feed[$x]['desc'];
$date = date('l F d, Y', strtotime($feed[$x]['date']));
echo '<p><strong><a href="'.$link.'" title="'.$title.'">'.$title.'</a></strong><br />';
echo '<small><em>Posted on '.$date.'</em></small></p>';
echo '<p>'.$description.'</p>';
}
?>

[Jessica]

Well, that's not how you use echo. That's clearly not valid PHP. You need to echo the entire URL you are trying to load, and do it on it's own line.

[profmustamar]

I found the solution. Thank you, anyway.
