PHP - Reading Variables From Another File
So here is what I have going.
#1 - My weather station software processes a file and enters variables and then uploads it as a php file. #2 - Currently the station also just uploads every file to the site and enters the data in the html, but I would rather have it only upload this one file and the other pages grab data from it and print it out. I have a few php scrips in there to preform certain functions (if temp <= 32 it echos that data in blue and so on) but would rather make most of it php so I have less files being uploaded every 5 minutes. This is what the station sends to the web, but I have no idea how to get the other pages to read it and input the variables from it. Similar TutorialsSo I have a text file "name.txt" in the text file I have ids and auth keys set up like this 1234564 abcdfhu 3123900 sdkoao etc How could I make it to where the ids are $ids and the auth keys are $auth_keys? I've tried using foreach() but I cant get it does anyone know how to decode this XML variable value into string values? I also need to know the oposite way: creating variable values into xml. I've tried several code examples but they did filter the requested data.

I am David and I am new to web design and php. I am following a Lynda.com tutorial on php and sql. I have reached a certain point in the tutorial where I am reading values back from my database in to a php variable. The variable is holding an array data type and I am accessing the element within the array. I want a HTML select control and 2 radios buttons to reflect the values in the database. Therefore the Select control should read a numeric value of type int and the radio buttons are reflecting either a 1 or a 0. Firstly the code for the Select control uses a for loop to count the array elements and load the count into the Select control. The example uses php mixed with html. The for loop will count the number of element and add a number to the select control. The an If statment is used to make a decision if the count variable equals the value in the array element $sel_subject['position'] then select that value. This does not happen, and I can not seem to get it to work. <p>Position: <select name="position"> <!--use a php block so as to use some php variables --> <!--Use these variables with the get_all_sublects function. --> <!-- This function will return all the dataset --> <?php $sel_subject = get_all_subjects(); //Then use the mysql fuction to retuen the numberic value of all the rows. $subject_count = mysql_num_rows($sel_subject); //$subject_count + 1 becauce we are adding a subject for($count=1; $count <= $subject_count+1; $count++) { echo "<option value=\"{$count}\""; if ($sel_subject['position'] == $count) { echo " selected"; } echo ">{$count}</option>"; } ?> </select> </p> Secondly the radio buttons do something similar in that i want them to reflect the value in the array element. If a 1 then True and so be checked or 0 and so false and so be unchecked. <p>Visible: <input type= "radio" name= "visible" value= "0" <?php if ($sel_subject['visible'] == 0) { echo 'checked=" checked"'; } ?> >No</input> <input type= "radio" name= "visible" value= "1" <?php if ($sel_subject['visible'] == 1) { echo 'checked=" checked"'; } ?> >Yes</input> </p> Again this doesn't work either. So in summary, I cant get the php code to affect the html form controls and relay the stored data to the user. I have been racking my brain for days and getting no where. Please can anyone help me with this. I would be very grateful. All the best Irish_Dave I have news articles which I distribute to various sites. Each article contains various hyperlinks, which must resolve to a location on the site which pulled the article, i.e. Article: (hyperlink) Widgets are wonderful. Don Doe, president of (Widgets Incorporated) say they are cool. ------ Site A: To resolve to example.com/widget-companies/Widget-news/Widgets-Incorporated. Site B: To resolve to otherexample.com/Widgets-Incorporates/widget-news I'm paralyzed. The only thing I can think of is to bring the whole article in, and do a string replace. Some of the articles are 2k+ words. Even then, I have to come up with a way of pointing out the link text. I came up with $COMPANY:WIDGETS-INCORPORATED:Widget-Incorporated (UC WIDGETS to associate it with that company, and the mixed case Widget-Incorporated would be the hyperlink text. Explode it and use it. I am not even sure it will work, or if it works whether it is too inefficient. Should I try that, or something else? Well, im a n00b for php, and what i need is a php script which will read data from .xml file and write it into .txt file. Can someone help me? Example of .xml file : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <tv generator-info-name="NeTXMLTV/1.0.0.0" source-info-url="http://www.net-tv.hr/" source-info-name="NeT TV XMLTV" source-data-url="http://www.net-tv.hr/xmltv/net-pregled-programa-xmltv.xml"> <programme channel="NeT TV" start="20110413063000 +0200" stop="20110413080000 +0200"> <title lang="hr">JUTARNJI EXPRESS</title> <category lang="hr">glazbeno-informativni program</category> <desc lang="hr">Glazbeno informativna emisija sa servisnim informacijama i jutarnjim temperaturama, idealna za jutarnje buđenje uz toplu kavu ili čaj....</desc> </programme> </tv> I need the .txt file to look like this: 201104130630 - 201104130800 JUTARNJI EXPRESS glazbeno-informativni program Glazbeno informativna emisija sa servisnim informacijama i jutarnjim temperaturama, idealna za jutarnje buđenje uz toplu kavu ili čaj....

I'm having a problem with my script, I would love to know why it's just stopping parsing and no errors are getting diplayed when I call this function. I'm using E_ALL, Highly annoying when still no errors come up... When the function is called the page stops parseing, The function returns nothing. The files content does like this: Code: [Select] ERROR This is an error Som other stuff I don't need hence $rest in the explode As you can tell it's a status file I checked the contents and it's all in the right format. Thanks in advance! Where is the best to store the list of categories and menu? Obviously it is better to reduce mysql queries. From a plain list in file, we can create desirable list (menu) from an array. This is quite faster (though SELECT from an indexed table is fast too; but I do know if it is as fast as reading from a php file). Any idea how to code this to create the menu faster ? Hi, I have this text file with a 123mb size then i ran my simple script to read it and render it via browser $fh = fopen('worldcitiespop.txt',r); while(!feof($fh)) { $content = fgets($fh); echo $content."<br />"; } fclose($fh); I was expecting the 'whole' output via browser but then it didn't show "all" because when I opened the text file via a wordpad, it's really huge.. can you tell me what's wrong with my script ?...( btw, there's no max execution time error at all ) Hello again. I'm trying to load data from a Facebook Share Data XML file and then displaying them in a WordPress plugin. Here's my code so far: // Fetch Share Count Data function fb_button () { $fbshareUrl = urlencode(get_permalink($post->ID)); $fbshareTitle = urlencode($post->post_title); $fbLinkStats = simplexml_load_file('http://api.facebook.com/restserver.php?method=links.getStats&urls='.$shareUrl); $fb_params = '?u=' . $fbshareUrl . '&t=' . $fbshareTitle . '' ; // Vertical Facebook Button $fb_share = ' <div class="fsbsharer" id="fb"> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php' . $fb_params . '" class="facebookShare"> <span class="fb_share_size_Small fb_share_count_wrapper"> <span></span> <span class="fb_share_count_nub_top "></span> <span class="fb_share_count fb_share_count_top"> <div class="fb_share_count_inner"> '. $fbLinkStats->link_stat->total_count .' </div> </div> <span style="cursor:pointer;" class="FBConnectButton FBConnectButton_Small"><span class="FBConnectButton_Text">Share</span></span> </a> </div> '; echo $fb_share; } This code works for everything except the title and the share count. I can fix the title myself but the share count isn't working. When I use this in plain HTML: <?php echo $fbLinkStats->link_stat->total_count.''; ?> it works fine, but when I combine it all into another function to echo, it no longer works properly. Thanks. My user needs me to update the database on their server from data contained in a text file but do not want me to upload the text file to the server but rather read the file from wherever it exists. Across the intranet. Uploading the file means that whomsoever needs to do this update requires write permission to a folder on the server & my user does not want that. Suggestions on how I should solve this problem would be greatly appreciated. BTW My code works fine if I upload the file and do the update in place on the server. |
