PHP - Steam Xml Question

But I need help in an issue I have been having for awhile now. Some reason when I try to call for online status it does not work sometimes i can get it to show the default code 1 which means online. But I am trying to get it to say Online and Offline and so on. I do not get what I am doing wrong my website using mysql so not sure if its having trouble reading the database or what.  here is the code...

<?php
class steam {
    public $api = STEAM_API;
    public $returnUrl = URL;
    public $user = array();
    
    function __construct() {
        $this->setUserInfo();
    }
    
    function isLoggedin() {
        if(isset($_SESSION['steam'])) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
    
    function showLogoutButton() {
        echo "<br /><a href=\"logout.php\">Logout</a>"; //logout button
    }
    
    function steamlogin()
    {
        require_once(INCLUDES.'/openid.php');
        try {
            // Change 'localhost' to your domain name.
            $openid = new LightOpenID($this->returnUrl);
            //dump($openid);
            if(!$openid->mode) {
                if(isset($_GET['login'])) {

        switch($this->user['onlineoffline']) {

            case '0':

            default:

                $state = 'Offline';

            break;

            case '1':

                $state = 'Online';

            break;

            case '2':

                $state = 'Busy';

            break;

            case '3':

                $state = 'Away';

            break;

            case '4':

                $state = 'Snooze';

            break;

            case '5':

                $state = 'Looking to trade';

            break;

            case '6':

                $state = 'Looking to play';

            break;

        }

        return $state;

    }
?>

This is basically my entire code that calls the steam api. Here is the echo function I use to try and call it on a profile.php page...

	echo "<br /><strong>Online:</strong> " . $steam->user['onlineoffline'] . " ";

So I would really appreciate it if someone can help me. I been trying to figure out this for the past week and its starting to drive me nuts and loose motivation on my project. Everything else works great minus this one issue. I have pretty much asked everywhere I can think of and no help. I use a function to call my database hint the global $DB; in my functions just to give you anymore information I can. $steam variable I believe is coming from my class at the very top of my code that is were $steam comes from.   Thanks

Hey guys,

I'm fairly new to PHP but i know the basics. I've been working with the Steam XML feeds for various reasons and i'm trying to create a list of friends that show whether they are online/offline, show their profile pic... etc...

To get a persons friends list (using me as an example) is: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197970734089/friends?xml=1
But to get to get more information from the friends you take the steamID from the above XML and take information from their main profile XML feed, i have to do this because the normal profile XML (again as me as an example): http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197970734089?xml=1 , only displays 6 friends details at a time.

I hope you under stand but please see my PHP below, the problem i'm having is that it takes forever to run the loop and certain mobile browsers just wont display the page (timeout). I didn't know whether you guys being the phpfreaks would know of a faster memory efficient way of doing this?

  // set the XML file name as a PHP string
  $friendslist = "http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197970734089/friends/?xml=1" ; 
  
  // load the XML file 
  $xml = @simplexml_load_file($friendslist) or die ("no file loaded") ; 
  
  // get the output
  $steamID = $xml->steamID ;
  echo "<h1>Main Profile: " . $steamID . "</h1>";
  
  // set the loop
  foreach ($xml->friends->children() as $friendid) {
  echo "http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/".$friendid."?xml=1" ;
  echo "<br />";
  $friendget = "http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/".$friendid."?xml=1" ;
  $friendgot = @simplexml_load_file($friendget) or die ("no file loaded") ;
  echo $friendgot->steamID ;
  echo "<br />" ;
  }

when in a form, I wish to build a conditional that if the response to a radio button is a value of 2 (female), it will display an input requesting for users maiden name. If not 2 goes to the next input statement.

Here is code I was experimenting with:


<html>
<body>
<form action="" name="test"  method='POST'>
<input type="radio" id="sex" value=1 checked><label>Male</label>
<input type="radio" id="sex" value=2><label>Femaleale</label>

    <?php
    $result = "value";
    if ($result == 2)
        echo "<input type='int' id='gradYear' size='3' required>";
        else
        echo "Not a female!"
    ?>

    <input type="submit" value="GO">
</form>
</body>
</html>


The code passes debug, however, Not a Female is displayed.

My question is - Can I do this and if so, what value do I test against id='sex' or value. I tried each one but gave the same results. I realize that $_POST[sex] would be used after the submit button is clicked. But this has me stumped.

Thanks for the assis in advance.

In php, which function is best used to act something like the sql "LIKE" command? and how would that function be used like?

I'm creating a re classified ad site and I've hit a brick wall.  I'm trying to create a 'listing' which will contain info and pictures of the property that's for sale, but I'm unsure on how to do it.  Would I have to create different db tables to have the albums, images and listing together? Or would can I just do it all in one table?  I appreciate your help.
