PHP - How Can I Publish Sports Standings On My Website?
I would like to publish the sports standings (MLB, NHL, NFL, NBA) on a client website. I have not been able to find an RSS feed for standings from any of the leagues themselves. There are "widgets" and "Google gadgets" that do it but they don't look very good and they don't allow me to format them very well.
Is there a way for me to grab the standings from a web page using PHP? Or does anyone know of a source that provides this information via RSS? Thank you! Similar TutorialsI have finally worked out how to get a football league table query up and running (mainly by stealing code from elsewhere and adapting it to work the way I want it to!) but need to try to tweak it for a couple of other pages. The test page with it on is at http://www.margate-fc.com/content/test/table.php The query is $i = 1; $ht = "g.home_team = t.team_id"; $at = "g.away_team = t.team_id"; $hw = "g.home_goals > g.away_goals"; $aw = "g.home_goals < g.away_goals"; $d = "g.home_goals = g.away_goals"; $hg ="g.home_goals"; $ag ="g.away_goals"; $table = mysql_query("SELECT t.team_name as Tm, @rownum := @rownum+1 AS rank , (sum(CASE WHEN (".$ht."

Firstly the code bit..... There is a bit of replication that I was hoping to eliminate by using the sum function but from what I can see this cannot be done with Alias's. I was hoping to change the code , sum(CASE WHEN (".$ht." AND ".$hw.") OR (".$at." AND ".$aw.") THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS W , sum(CASE WHEN (".$ht." AND ".$hw.") THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS HW , sum(CASE WHEN (".$at." AND ".$aw.") THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS AW to , sum(HW + PW) AS W , sum(CASE WHEN (".$ht." AND ".$hw.") THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS HW , sum(CASE WHEN (".$at." AND ".$aw.") THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS AW but that just causes no records to be shown. Is there a way around this or is there no way to aggregate alias's? Secondly, the other pages. There are 2 other pages that I want to use similar data on and I think what I want to do is quite simple. On the front page of the site I want a stripped down version of the table which shows just five records, that of my team, Margate, and the two positions above and two below. At the moment Margate are in 19th position so I would want it to show rows 17,18,19,20,21. If Margate were 10th I would want it to show 8,9,10,11,12. I would imagine that there is a way of finding which position Margate is in then setting the OFFSET to that -2 but after extensive Googling (I did spot it in exactly the context I need some time back when I did not need it!) I cannot find anything as I basically do not know what I need to ask for! The final thing is that each team has its own page and on that page I want to show their position in the League in a friendly style, such as 19th as opposed to 19. I would imagine that I would need to pull the whole league table in as opposed to using a query that matches the team otherwise it would only have one result and each team would show as being 1st. I would only want to show the position of the relevant team but obviously the whole query would need to be run to get that position. How would I then find the relative teams position? I think that the ideal thing would be to use a VIEW but am working with a MySQL 4 database. Any help or advice will, as always, be appreciated. Thanks in advance Steve This topic has been moved to PHP Applications. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=328109.0 Newbie here and I seek guidance! Listed below is the code I have so far. It was bundled as part of a script. I just had a friend help me clean up some junk that was in it which was of great help. http://pastebin.com/vJZBUdgy Now my problem is that it needs publish dates. I have no experience with this. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance! edit: Here is what we removed - print " <description>\n"; print " <![CDATA["; print $description; print " ]]>\n"; print " </description>\n"; Now one does print the date, but it merely prints it out below the content and feedburner doesn't accept this. I will report back any discoveries. I'm trying to make a League of Legends (a video game) community website, both as a personal project and for practice. Now the game has a lot of champions, each of whom have 5 unique abilities. Now, I thought about manually inputting all the details about each champion into a MySQL database, but that would long and tedious, and I don't really have the time for it now. Also, the game patches very oftern (like, once every 2 weeks) which changes many of the stats, etc. of the champion, and it is not possible for me to keep manually updating these every time there is a patch. Fortunately, there is a League of Legends Wiki which has all the data I need in their specific champion pages, which they keep updated per patch. So I was wondering if there was any way to get the data from the divs in the wiki, and have it display on my site. What I want to do in my website is that whenever someone types a champion's name (in a post or whatever), I want it to display a hover-over dialog with some of the champions details. And a lot of other features such as that. In plain English I need a way to : > Tell PHP to go to the wiki's source code on a specific page > Find a specific div container > Get X data from there > Pass X data into a function to display the hover-over I think this way, I would not have to maintain a database as I can leech off the wiki's data. I have not coded anything like this before, so I would like a few pointers as to how to achieve this. Any help will be appreciated! I tried searching on google but couldn't find any relevant information, please redirect me to relevant source or help me with the code. I want to pass a domain name in text field which will be scanned and then the script will display entire site map. Not external links or links on a page. Sorry it is not easy for me to explain. Eg. if i pass abc.com Script will display abc.com/12/adn.php abc.com/asd/asd/ etc Whatever their url format is. All the links on that domain. hello My database is in a same server with seperate domain name , then I want to insert from website1 mysql data on website2 mysql data. can anyone help me? Is it possible to download files from a website to my online websites root directory? reason I'm asking is because I have been downloading large video files to my computer which take about 20 minutes!! Then I use FTP to upload them to my site but it takes about 2-3 hours per video!! I was looking for a faster way! All help would be great! Hello everybody!
I have been asked by a customer to develop a GTP website (Get To Pay, those websites where people earn money from clicking on ads). I managed to write the backend, signup and login but I am unsure how the ads part, with built-in user-tracking works and fallback link works.
I would really appreciate any kind of help.
Thank you very much!
P.S. For the user tracking I was thinking of sessions with matching ip and user agents together with an anti-proxy online service (e.g. MaxMind, Proxystop, ...)
Hi, I haven't used any php for a while, but i am making a website, and i need some advice on how to do the following: I want the website to change an image once every 24 hours, the image will revert back to the original image after 2 minutes. Does anyone have an idea how I could start doing this? This would be an example of a page I'm referring to: http://www.curse.com...other-downloads
I want to get the file name and compare it to another name (to see if they are the same or not). I have no idea how to access that page from my website. I'm guessing PHP would be best although if you don't think so tell me what you think would be better (I was thinking javascript but don't think that's cross-site compatible). Is there a PHP function to get the value of the href which is in this case (as of this posting) "Railcraft 9.4.0.0".
I used inspect element to see the code of the page but have no idea if this is possible or if I'm even going about this the right way. The code would have to work on this entire website (all pages have the smae layout as this one though! Any help is greatly appreciated!
My code on website is not validate on W3 Validator.

Hello everyone and thank you for reading this.
My goal: Build a site like sportingnewschicago.com
What it does? It has different sectiions of different teams. Then it displays the tittle of the news and makes them be able to click on to go to the news site. The site some how checks a list of sites and post them on their respected section. But only ones that have not already been listed.
What i want to do? Well i want to try to learn how to do this. Is this something i can make with the help of members here? It would only have index.php and thats it.
Please let me know if anyone would be interested in teaching me as i do it. If not i would understand. Thank you.

I'd like to thank you for your help. Now the question is, we will be using xe.com services for our shopping cart and prices. Based to the customer's location the currency must change. For example, if the customer is sitting in Europe, the currency for the product and the shopping cart will be displayed in Euros, similarly for the US customers it will be in USD. I would like to know how we can do this using xe.com and what steps are required. Any comments/feedbacks are always welcome! Thank you! I was not expecting this but when I managed to connect to a chatroom and close out firefox.... The user stayed in the chatroom. This user should of pinged out by now but it's staying online. How do I end this connection? So far I turned off my internet, and blocked all access to the site. Hi, I have a requirement of making the single website for different locations, customer running a enterprise, and he wants me to show corresponding items for corresponding locations(nearly around 30 locations) I am very confused how to make this(making separate sub domains for separate location), pls help me regarding this. Thanks, How would I show the PHP code on the website page? I'm not sure if this should be under PHP or HTML or what, but, like on the forums where you see the <?php echo 'sdfjksdf'; ?> etc. How do I make it so I can write PHP on the website? |
