PHP - Url List To Be Imported Into Curl Script

I'm getting data from a remote XML file using the following as a result of a form:

Code: [Select]
<?php

header('Content-type: text/xml');

//extract data from the post
extract($_POST);

//set POST variables
$url = 'https://www.*******';
$fields = array(
            'ESERIES_FORM_ID'=>urlencode($ESERIES_FORM_ID),
            'MXIN_USERNAME'=>urlencode($MXIN_USERNAME),
            'MXIN_PASSWORD'=>urlencode($MXIN_PASSWORD),
            'MXIN_VRM'=>urlencode($MXIN_VRM),
            'MXIN_TRANSACTIONTYPE'=>urlencode($MXIN_TRANSACTIONTYPE),
            'MXIN_PAYMENTCOLLECTIONTYPE'=>urlencode($MXIN_PAYMENTCOLLECTIONTYPE),
            'MXIN_CAPCODE'=>urlencode($MXIN_CAPCODE)
        );

//url-ify the data for the POST
foreach($fields as $key=>$value) { $fields_string .= $key.'='.$value.'&'; }
rtrim($fields_string,'&');

//open connection
$ch = curl_init();

//set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,count($fields));
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$fields_string);

//execute post
$result = curl_exec($ch);

//close connection
curl_close($ch);


?>
Which is displaying what was the remote XML page, but has brought it to my domain.

How would I go about taking the results of the displaying XML page and displaying them on the next page rather than just displaying the XML data?

Many thanks in advanced!

I have simple script here that uses curl to post to a few forms and send receive cookies.
Now whenever I run the script it takes 10 seconds for the whole process to finish . Is it possible to reduce this time whenever the script is run the second or third.. time. 
my english is poor , i am having difficulty in putting words to what I want to say... But what I want is for the script to somehow use the previous cookies , detect if they are expired and then do things accordingly(run only the last block of code , if cookie hasn't expired) .

 How do I go about doing this ? any suggestions ?

Thanks
The script:
Code: [Select]
<?php

//Create File
// $ckfile = tempnam("","testfile.tmp") ;
$ckfile = "testFile.tmp";
$ourFileHandle = fopen($ckfile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fclose($ourFileHandle); 


//goto home page , to get initial cookies (not required the second time)
$ch = curl_init ("http://pericles.ipaustralia.gov.au/atmoss/falcon.application_start");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $ckfile); 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$output = curl_exec ($ch);

////click on enter as guest. and post the info from te form.
$ch = curl_init ("http://pericles.ipaustralia.gov.au/atmoss/Falcon_Users_Cookies.Run_Create");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $ckfile);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
 curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "p_JS=N&p_Anon=ANONYMOUS&p_user_type=Enter as Guest");
 curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $ckfile);
 curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$output = curl_exec ($ch);

//open the search page. 
$ch = curl_init ("http://pericles.ipaustralia.gov.au/atmoss/Falcon.Search_Screen?p_search_no=0&p_SearchLevel=FULL");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $ckfile);

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $ckfile); 
 curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$output = curl_exec ($ch);

//search on the search page.
$ch = curl_init ("http://pericles.ipaustralia.gov.au/atmoss/Falcon.Result");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $ckfile);
 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
 curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "p_partword_1=nice");
 curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
 curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $ckfile);
curl_exec ($ch);

//fclose($ourFileHandle);

Also for some reason the cookie file ends up being a zero byte file. any one know why

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?

Just a quick one for anyone here that knows.

I am setting up a small catalog site that runs off a MySQL database.
On each product page there is a main image and six supporting thumbnails of different views of said product.

I have six thumbnails (front, back, left, right, modelimage1, modelimage2) with then six main images to match.

I want to be able to click on each of the thumbnails and have it swap the main image to match. I have given the main image an ID so maybe I could use a bit of javascript to swap the mainimage1  (<? echo "$mainimage1"; ?>) ....... to........  mainimage2  (<? echo "$mainimage2"; ?>) when i click on

Any ideas of where to start? Its really just a simple thumbnail gallery i guess! I'm a newbie so as simple as possible would be great!

Code: [Select]
$id = $_GET['id']; // will be equal to '1' if the url ends in ?id=1  it would be '2' if it ended in ?id=2 etc.

$query="SELECT * FROM ruxxshop WHERE id='$id'";
$result=mysql_query($query);

$num=mysql_numrows($result);

mysql_close();

$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {
$name=mysql_result($result,$i,"name");
$subtitle=mysql_result($result,$i,"subtitle");
$description=mysql_result($result,$i,"description");
$colour=mysql_result($result,$i,"colour");
$standardprice=mysql_result($result,$i,"standardprice");
$standardshoplink=mysql_result($result,$i,"standardshoplink");
$largeprice=mysql_result($result,$i,"largeprice");
$largeshoplink=mysql_result($result,$i,"largeshoplink");


//main images
$mainimage1=mysql_result($result,$i,"mainimage1"); //front image
$mainimage2=mysql_result($result,$i,"mainimage2"); //back image
$mainimage3=mysql_result($result,$i,"mainimage3"); //left image
$mainimage4=mysql_result($result,$i,"mainimage4"); //right image
$mainimage5=mysql_result($result,$i,"mainimage5"); //model image 1
$mainimage6=mysql_result($result,$i,"mainimage6"); //model image 2


//thumbnail images
$leftimage=mysql_result($result,$i,"leftimage");
$rightimage=mysql_result($result,$i,"rightimage");
$backimage=mysql_result($result,$i,"backimage");
$frontimage=mysql_result($result,$i,"frontimage");
$modelimage1=mysql_result($result,$i,"modelimage1");
$modelimage2=mysql_result($result,$i,"modelimage2");

good day dear community,

i am workin on a Curl loop to fetch multiple pages:

i have some examples - and a question:

Example: If we want to get information from 3 sites with CURL we can do it like so:


$list[1] = "http://www.example1.com";
$list[2] = "ftp://example.com";
$list[3] = "http://www.example2.com";


After creating the list of links we should initialize the cURL multi handle and adding the cURL handles.


$curlHandle = curl_multi_init();
for ($i = 1;$i <= 3; $i++)
 $curl[$i] = addHandle($curlHandle,$list[$i]);


Now we should execute the cURL multi handle retrive the
content from the sub handles that we added to the cURL multi handle.

ExecHandle($curlHandle);
for ($i = 1;$i <= 3; $i++)
{
 $text[$i] =  curl_multi_getcontent ($curl[$i]);
 echo $text[$i];
}

In the end we should release the handles from the cURL multi handle by calling curl_multi_remove_handle and close the cURL multi handle!

If we want to another Fetch of sites with cURL-Multi - since this is the most pretty way to do it!
Well I am not sure bout the string concatenation. How to do it - Note I want to fetch several hundred pages:
see the some details for this target-server sites - /(I have to create a loop over several hundred sites).

    * siteone.example/?show_subsite=9009
    * siteone.example/?show_subsite=9742
    * siteone.example/?show_subsite=9871

.... and so on and so forth Question: How to appy this loop into the array of the curl-multi?

$urls = array(

   );

$mh = curl_multi_init();

foreach ($urls as $i => $url) {
       $conn[$i]=curl_init($url);
       curl_setopt($conn[$i],CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);//return data as string 
       curl_setopt($conn[$i],CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,1);//follow redirects
       curl_setopt($conn[$i],CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS,2);//maximum redirects
       curl_setopt($conn[$i],CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,10);//timeout
       curl_multi_add_handle ($mh,$conn[$i]);
}

do { $n=curl_multi_exec($mh,$active); } while ($active);

foreach ($urls as $i => $url) {
       $res[$i]=curl_multi_getcontent($conn[$i]);
       curl_multi_remove_handle($mh,$conn[$i]);
       curl_close($conn[$i]);
}
curl_multi_close($mh);


print_r($res);

?>





I look forward to your ideas.
