XeroXer Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hi there.I would like som help.I am a member at a gaming page.There all members have their own presentation site.The members page adress are like this:[a href=\"http://www.example.com/member/profile/145031\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.example.com/member/profile/145031[/a]The different members have special status depending on their gaming behavior.What I now would like is to have a list of how many members have certain status.The status is displayed of a certain image. Let's call it:[a href=\"http://www.example.com/images/powermember.gif\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.example.com/images/powermember.gif[/a]So a php script that searches the html code from:[a href=\"http://www.example.com/member/profile/1\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.example.com/member/profile/1[/a]to:[a href=\"http://www.example.com/member/profile/500000\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.example.com/member/profile/500000[/a]after:[a href=\"http://www.example.com/images/powermember.gif\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.example.com/images/powermember.gif[/a]and then displayes how many it found.Can anyone help me with this?I have done some php'ing before so a few guidlines and I might be able to do it myself.THankful for any help...

Zane Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 you would need to look into these two functionereg()file_get_contents()assuming you know how many users there are, you'd create a loop from 1 to that number using a counter varand have it ereg each page for that gifusing the counter var againsomething like this[code]$parseUrl = "http://www.example.com/member/profile/";$numUsers = 0;for($i=0; $i<5000; $i++) { $parsePage = file_get_contents($parseUrl$i); if(ereg("http://www.example.com/images/powermember.gif", $parsePage)) $numUsers++;}echo "There are " . $numUsers . " power users";[/code]EDITBut using something like that would take FOREVER if there are a lot of pages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Please tell me that this is all generated from the same page and you just want to look at the status of a field in a database of all your users. Please? Otherwise, that's gotta be the worst design of a website I've ever heard of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XeroXer Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Well I really don't know how the page is build but I hope it comes from a database.I tried your code like this:[code]<?php$parseUrl = "http://www.example.com/member/view/";$numUsers = 3;for($i=3; $i<143089; $i++){ $parsePage = file_get_contents($parseUrl$i); if(ereg("http://www.example.com/pictures/supermember.gif", $parsePage)) $numUsers++;}echo "There are " . $numUsers . " super members. ";?>[/code]The first member has the number 3 and the last 143089.This code results in nothing.The source becomes this:[code]<html><body></body></html>[/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prismatic Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Might help if you would actually link us to the site so we could really help you out =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XeroXer Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Well can't really do that. Sorry...Or maybe I can but I would much rather get this working.What can make me end up with nothing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest footballkid4 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 1) More than likely the site is not set up the way you think...they probably use mod_rewrite and get a feed from a single page2) Linking us to the page would allow us to easily see what we're trying to do exactly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XeroXer Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 [a href=\"http://www.gamers.nu\" target=\"_blank\"]Gamers.nu[/a] That's the page.I got the script working from one point of view.It tries to read the page correctly but I get a LOT of errors.Well I get 150000 errors :-)It's the file_get_contents() that doesn't work.Because probebly they generate the page from the database.So there is no .php or .html file to read from.This is the code that "worked":[code]<?php$siteurl = "http://www.gamers.nu/profile/show/";$imgurl = "http://www.gamers.nu/_tpl/site/default/_img/flags/gold.gif";$numusers = 0;for($i = 0; $i < 150000; $i++){ $sitepage = file_get_contents("$siteurl$i"); if(ereg($imgurl, $sitepage)) $numusers++;}?><html><head><title>Gnu members...</title></head><body><?phpecho "Det finns " . $numusers .

Guest footballkid4 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 A page isn't just "generated" from the database. file_get_contents may or may not work if the host has mod_rewrite in use...you might want to try sockets or curl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XeroXer Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 Well it seeems the curl needs me to install something extra while the sockets does not.Witch means the sockets would be a better try. :-)I have never used sockets before.Could anyone help me with how to use it?How to use it in the above script to get it working. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
