PHP - Some One Help Me About Reading Code.

I just can't wrap my head around it, but I am trying to integrate weather into my website using NOAA.

1. Here is the NOAA page: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Mio&state=MI&site=APX&lat=44.663&lon=-84.1446
2. Here is the XML to that page: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=44.66300&lon=-84.14460&FcstType=dwml

Now what I want to do is to have PHP on my website that reads the XML from the NOAA site and create the "Forecast At A Glance". Possible or too challenging?

PHP 5.3.8
XAMPP on Windows XP

I have an XML file that manages the input to an mp3 player on this page http://www.jimslounge.com/segovia/
The structure looks like this
Code: [Select]
<content>

  <auto_play>yes</auto_play>
  <loop>yes</loop>
  <volume>60</volume>

  <artist>
    <song_title><![CDATA[Bach - Suite No. 3 - Allemande]]></song_title>
    <artist_name><![CDATA[Andre Segovia]]></artist_name>
  <image_path>load/images/segovia.jpg</image_path>
  <mp3_path>load/songs/Bach - Suite No. 3 (for solo cello, arr. Duarte)- Allemande.mp3</mp3_path>
<url target="_blank"  open="yes">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9s_Segovia</url>
  </artist>
  <artist>
      ...
with <artist> being the repeating element I want to be able to read and eventually write to
If I run this
Code: [Select]
$xml = simplexml_load_file("load.xml");
 var_dump($xml);
I get this
object(SimpleXMLElement)#1 (4) { ["auto_play"]=> string(3) "yes" ["loop"]=> string(3) "yes" ["volume"]=> string(2) "60" ["artist"]=> array(22) { => object(SimpleXMLElement)#2 (5) { ["song_title"]=> object(SimpleXMLElement)#24 (0) { } ["artist_name"]=> object(SimpleXMLElement)#25 (0) { } ["image_path"]=> string(23) "load/images/segovia.jpg" ["mp3_path"]=> string(74) "load/songs/Bach - Suite No. 3 (for solo cello, arr. Duarte)- Allemande.mp3"  ... [/color]
which is overwhelming

This cleans it up but doesn't give me the artist name and song name I'm looking for.

Code: [Select]
$xml = simplexml_load_file("load.xml");
echo $xml->getName() . "<br />";
foreach($xml->children() as $child)
  {
  echo $child->getName() . ": " . $child . "<br />";
  }

The Output:
content
auto_play: yes
loop: yes
volume: 60
artist:
artist:
artist:

 My experience with simplexml only goes back a couple of hours so I'm pretty inept at this point.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I'm trying to read some XML by name this is the XML:

Say I want to get reqJob and print it onto the page.

Also I would need to get the BaseData of the iconRaw canvas.

[xml]<category id="SOCMENEURASTVICLEA" order="26800">Aus. Victoria League</category>[/xml]

I have the above xml, I can read the category id, order but I dont no how to read the value "Aus. Victoria League"


foreach($description->children() as $category) {
foreach($category->attributes() as $a => $b) {
echo "<br/> -------- ";
echo $a,'="',$b,"\"\n";
} 
echo "category name" . $category->asXML();
}


the asXML() i have no idea what that is but am guessing I need thats where the php function which returns the value needs to go
Thank you

Hi there

I am working on PHP form which has an array named: $productOptions.

When I do:

print_r($productOptions);

it returns:
Array ( [124] => Array ( [optionId] => 124 [optionName] => acer aspire [optionListId] => 28 [dateCreated] => 2010-11-04 12:48:53 [enabled] => 1 [optionQtyId] => 84 [productId] => 40 [quantity] =>7 )
 [114] => Array ( [optionId] => 114 [optionName] => acer fast [optionListId] => 28 [dateCreated] => 2010-11-01 02:04:53 [enabled] => 1 [optionQtyId] => 83 [productId] => 40 [quantity] => 0 ) 

Now from this Array, I would like to check if the quantity if greater than Zero. so I tried:

if (productOptions[quantity] > 0){
echo "blah blah..."
}

But for getting the quantity, the part:

productOptions[quantity]

returns nothing. Am I doing this correctly?

Please reply.

Thank you

I've never been very good with arrays, and am totally new to them in PHP...   

If I have this array...
Code: [Select]
$concertDates = array('201105071'=>'May 7, 2011 (9:00am - 12:00pm)',
'201105072'=>'May 7, 2011 (1:00pm - 4:00pm)',
'201105141'=>'May 14, 2011 (9:00am - 12:00pm)');

...and I know the key, e.g.

Code: [Select]
$concertDate = '201105072'

Then how do I get the corresponding value, i.e.

Code: [Select]
May 7, 2011 (1:00pm - 4:00pm)'
...from the array??

Hi People.

Here is a form that is supposed to read from my database.

My primary key is called "index" and I have about 300 records in the database.

I wanted to be able to view the records but when I load this page the "php" part is empty.  I simply get given a blank form.  I know it is connecting to the DB OK because I changed one letter in the password and then got a "can't connect to the database error" just to test it out.

Code: [Select]
<?php
$host = 'localhost';

$usr = "the_db_user";

$password = 'not_shared_on_forum';

$db_name = 'stranded';

function cr($string){
          $clean_string = str_replace("rn","<BR>",$string);
         return $clean_string;
}

//$id = 11;
if (!isset($id)) $id = $_GET['id'];

mysql_connect ("$host","$usr","$password") or die ('Error During Connect:<br>'.mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("$db_name") or die ('Error Selecting DB:<br>'.mysql_error());

$read_query  = "select * from HelperFormData where index = '$id'";
$results = mysql_query($read_query);

$rs = mysql_fetch_array($results);

Hi all, how do I read emails sent to an email account on my site such as admin@mysite.com?

hi
i am a making a site in which m saving a songs information in database then fetching that out for inserting song link m using readdir function that read all song in a folder then save them in database
but i have problem
when that read file name
.mp3 also include with that which i don't want to show on page where i fetch that
mean simply i want that i can insert song name separately and file separately... and i want to use readdir also for getting file name becoz that easy way instead of upload through panel ..? any idea or solution about adding separately file name

I am trying to go through all of the emails in an inbox with php. I saw a way to do it with imap_open, but I don't have the imap functions installed. Does anyone know of another way to do this? I would think someone would have written a 3rd party library that just uses sockets -- kind of like phpmailer but for receiving instead of sending.

I am trying to use this weeklyReport1Boles.html:
Code: [Select]
<html>
<head>
<title>Weekly Report</title>
<link rel ="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="sample.css" />
</head>

<body>
<h1>Weekly Report</h1>
<p>
<form action = "weeklyReport1Boles.php" method = "post" >
<p>
<input type = "submit" value = "Display the Report" />
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

TO PULL data from weeklyDataBoles.txt lines 1-8
1    236.00
2    284.00
3    148.00
4    128.00
5       0.00
6    110.00
7       0.00
8

THE RESULTING WEB PAGE SHOULD BE:

Weekly Report

TOTAL INCOME FROM PAINT CONTRACTS: $0.00

AVG DAILY INCOME FROM PAINT CONTRACTS: $0.00

NUMBER OF DAYS with NO INCOME: .

MY PHP CODE IS:


<?php
$total = $_POST['total'];
$avgDailyIncome = $_POST['avgDailyIncome'];
$badDays = $_POST ['badDays'];

$paintFile = fopen("weeklyDataBoles.txt","r");
$year = fgets($weeklyDataBoles);
$total = 0;
for ($count= 1; $count <=7; $count = $count +1)
{
      $nextDay = fgets($weeklyDataBoles);
      $total = $total + $nextDay;
}
fclose($weeklyData);
$avgDailyIncome = $total/7;

print("<p>TOTAL INCOME FROM PAINT CONTRACTS: ");
print("$".number_format($total, 2)."</p>");
print("<p>AVG DAILY INCOME FROM PAINT CONTRACTS: ");
print("$".number_format($avgDailyIncome, 2)."</p>");
print("<p>NUMBER OF DAYS with NO INCOME: $badDays.</p>");

?>

</body>
</html>
   
      
      
THE AVERAGES ARE BASED ON ONE WEEK OR SEVEN DAYS, WHY CANT I OPEN THE FILE AND GET THE PROGRAM TO READ IT, I AM A STUDENT AND VERY, VERY, VERY BAD AT THIS, MAKES ME CRAZY CAUSE I REALLY LOVE IT

      
      
   

Hi, guys.  I'm trying to wrap my head around trying to read a header in a binary file in php.  So, far, I have been able to get the data into a string using file_get_contents.  Now, I think I need to use unpack, but it's a bit confusing to me still.  For example, my file starts by having a 1 byte version number, 4 bytes to represent a number of walls, then "number of walls" * 40 bytes for the actual walls.  But, the problem is, the wall itself is a structure composed of various elements to make up that 40 bytes, from which I'll need to pick out a specific area of interest.  I can do this easily in C, but in php. I can't think how to grab the info.  Any ideas?  Maybe just how to read 1 byte, 4 bytes, then "number of walls" * 40 bytes will get me in the right direction.

I am trying to work out how to work out rank on google results.

I so far have the results of the first page however can not work out how to get to the next page.

<?php
function google_search_api($args, $referer = 'google.php', $endpoint = 'web'){
$url = "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/".$endpoint;
 
if ( !array_key_exists('v', $args) )
$args['v'] = '1.0';
 
$url .= '?'.http_build_query($args, '', '&');
 
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
// note that the referer *must* be set
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $referer);
$body = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
//decode and return the response
return json_decode($body);
}
 
$rez = google_search_api(array(
'q' => 'test',
 ));
 
print_r($rez);

?>

Now I working off the http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/ajaxsearch/documentation/reference.html#_class_GSearch

What I am trying to do is build is http://www.further.co.uk/tools/search-position-check/

I am almost there with doing it with bing results

function bingrank($keyword,$domain){
$rank = '0';
$urls = array();
for($i=0;$i<10;$i++){
$rn=$i=='0'?'':$i;
$query = "http://www.bing.co.uk/search?q=".urlencode($keyword)."&first=".$rn."1";
$result_page = file_get_contents($query);
preg_match_all('/class="sb_tlst"><h3><a href="(.*?)"/',$result_page,$matches);
foreach($matches[1] AS $url){
$urlst = str_replace('www.', "", preg_replace('(^http://|/$)','',$url));
$urlsz = explode("/", $urlst);
$urls[] = $urlsz[0];
if ($urlsz[0] == $domain){
return $i+1;
}
}
}
return 'N/F';
}

Any advice or help would be great.

Hi

What I need to do is retrieve information from a web form, that contains a file id, and which options from check boxes have been ticked.
The code in the web form is.
Code: [Select]
    <td width=\"206\"><p>$filename1<br><img src=\"$filename1\" alt=\"$filename1\" /></p>
    <p>
      <label>
        <input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"image_id[$unique_id1][save]\" value=\"save\" id=\"CheckboxGroup1_1\" />
        Save</label>
      <br />
      <label>
        <input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"image_id[$unique_id1][delete]\" value=\"delete\" id=\"CheckboxGroup1_2\" />
        Delete</label>
        <br><label>
        <input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"image_id[$unique_id1][rotate]\" value=\"rotate\" id=\"CheckboxGroup1_3\" />
        Image needs rotating</label>
      <br />
    </p></td>

This returns the following when I do a Code: [Select]
var_dump of $_POST['image_id'][/code] when all three boxes are ticked.

Code: [Select]
array(1) { [4600]=> array(3) { ["save"]=> string(4) "save" ["delete"]=> string(6) "delete" ["rotate"]=> string(6) "rotate" } }

the format is as follows
4600 is the file ID, the 3 others are save, delete, and rotate

It appears to work ok, but I can't get at the data easily

I can get the key using key(), but I can't get the other bits of data out using a foreach loop.

Code: [Select]
if(isset($_POST['image_id']))
{
$file_info = $_POST['image_id'];
if (isset($file_info))
{
var_dump($_POST['image_id']);
while($element = current(file_info))
{     
echo "<br> Loop                     = " . key($file_info)."\n";
$index_key = key($file_info);
foreach ($dog1 as $index_key => $value)
{
        Echo "<br> foreach value = $value";
}
      next($file_info);
}
}
}
I'm wondering if the array that is being sent back is ok as I tried to creat an array that sent back the same and couldn't, so maybe my code in the form needs changing.
