PHP - How To Reverse Traverse Xml

Hi,
My site was recently "hacked" in the sense that Google was made to crawl a rogue page and came to believe it was the original site. This caused a catastrophic decline in Google position and decline in traffic.

In researching the issue, it seemed that the solution was to install a forward-confirmed reverse DNS on the site.

Yet I've found little information on how to actually implement this.

I'm working on a code example I found, but I'm unsure exactly how to apply this even assuming I can get it to work.

For those interested in this issue  the original site is www.tickerfind.com , the duplicate site is www.handj.net. If you Google "tickerfind.com" you can get the cache, and from this you can see that Google thinks the site is found at handj.net.

One of the puzzling things about the sample code (http://smbrown.wordpress.com/2009/04/29/verify-googlebot-forward-reverse-dns/) is that it appears to be determining whether the bot is "good" or "bad", yet I thought the issue was not the bot itself but where it was retrieving the pages to scan. Somehow I thought it would be a "prevention of redirection" type code.

So first, I suppose my question is: Am I on the right track. And if so then I can dig into the code. But I'd certainly need to understand why it works.

Thanks,
Jeff

When you make a mysql query the results are always returned with the first being the first entry in the database.  I was wondering if there is a way to make it so that the last entry is returned first and so on?  Thanks for any help. 

Hi all,


I have a MySQL table with the field 'number'.
When I SELECT * from that field, I get a return for the rows of 'number' in the order 1, 2, 3, 4, etc...
 

SELECT * FROM products;

Is there a way where I can get a return in the reverse order, so highest to lowest (4, 3, 2, 1, etc...)?

I posted this on stackoverflow, but no one wanted to touch it.   http://stackoverflow...rse-new-entries   I've tried array_push, but the results remain as SimpleXML, and not a plain array, which I wasn't able to use.  I tried some other things that I can't remember.

$feed_url = 'http://feeds.feedburner.com/SlickdealsnetFP?format=xml';
$contents = file_get_contents($feed_url);
$x = new SimpleXMLElement($contents);

$arrayFPTitle=array();

foreach($x->channel->item as $temp){
	array_push($arrayFPTitle, $temp->title);
}

Have any suggestions?... I've been on this problem for a few hours, now. I even tried regex, but you can imagine I quickly realized I wasn't going to figure that out.

Hello All
New here and could use a bit of help.

Basically I have 2 separate functions that echo their results out in an html page.
My problem is the first function needs a value from the second function after it has run but needs to be echoed before the second for aesthetics.

Here's a bit of code to explain.
Code: [Select]
  <div class="bag"><br/><?php echo writeShoppingCart(); ?> </div>
<div id="contents">
<?php
echo showCart();
?>
</div>
So basically to work correctly I need showCart to finishing before calling writeShoppingCart()
I tried doing a redirect to the same page but it didn't like that.
Is there another way around this that I'm not aware of?
I suppose I could write a third function to get the value I need and call it before but I was hoping for a something a little cleaner.

Cheers

Hi folks...

Trying to get a bit of gallery code to work the way I want it to and would appreciate some feedback from more experienced folks...

What it's doing, or is supposed to be doing, is taking a thumb called 'thumb.jpg' from each folder within my gallery folder and displaying it in reverse order on a page. I only want a maximum number of images to display on the page at any one time, so that if I end up uploading loads of folders in the future, it will only display a set amount of thumbs on one page.

I want the thumbs displayed in reverse order, so that the newest appears first.

Here's the code... and as far as I can see, it should work... and I'm sure I have had it working in the past (I've just come back to working on it after a while) however now, it's putting the thumbs in a random order.

My folders are all in the gallery folder, and are named 001, 002, 003, 004, 005, 006, etc.
I want them to display with 006 at the top and to de-increment, but only for the most recent 16 folders.

Code: [Select]

<?php

$images = "gallery/"; # Location of galleries 
$cols   = 4; # Number of columns to display 
$max     = 16; # Maximum number of galleries to show

if ($handle = opendir($images)) { 
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { 
       if ($file != "." && $file != "..") { 
           $files[] = $file; 
       } 
   } 
   closedir($handle); 
} 

$colCtr = 0; 

echo "<div id=\"updates\"><table><tr>"; 

$c = count($files) - 1; //$c = the number of files in the array, minus 1 = highest index in the array.
for($i = $c; $i > ($c - $max); $i--) //$i = $c, $i is greater than the array count minus $max, $i de-increments on each loop.  This will give us a countdown for the number of galleries required.
{ 
  if($colCtr %$cols == 0) 
    echo "</tr><tr>"; 
  echo "<td><img src=\"" . $images . $files[$i] . "/thumb.jpg\" width=\"240px\" height=\"180px\" alt=\"" . $alt . "\" /></td>"; //echo'ing out the $file[$i] on the loop, will give us the last required number of files in the file array.
  $colCtr++; 
} 

echo "</table></div>" . "\r\n"; 

?>


I also want to work out how to set a start number for the galleries, so that I can paginate them... so, once I have 36 galleries (for example) I can have the latest 16 on the first page, and the next 16 on the 2nd page... and the 4 that run over would drift off into obscurity until I get round to deleting them... maybe with a variable named $min... How would I do that...? Like this, or differently? :

Code: [Select]

<?php

$images = "gallery/"; # Location of galleries 
$cols   = 4; # Number of columns to display 
$min     = 16; # Minimum number of galleries to show
$max     = 32; # Maximum number of galleries to show

if ($handle = opendir($images)) { 
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { 
       if ($file != "." && $file != "..") { 
           $files[] = $file; 
       } 
   } 
   closedir($handle); 
} 

$colCtr = 0; 

echo "<div id=\"updates\"><table><tr>"; 

$c = count($files) - 1; //$c = the number of files in the array, minus 1 = highest index in the array.
for($i = $c; ($i + $min) > ($c - $max); $i--) //$i = $c, $i plus $min is greater than the array count minus $max, $i de-increments on each loop.  This will give us a countdown for the number of galleries required.
{ 
  if($colCtr %$cols == 0) 
    echo "</tr><tr>"; 
  echo "<td><img src=\"" . $images . $files[$i] . "/thumb.jpg\" width=\"240px\" height=\"180px\" alt=\"" . $alt . "\" /></td>"; //echo'ing out the $file[$i] on the loop, will give us the last required number of files in the file array.
  $colCtr++; 
} 

echo "</table></div>" . "\r\n"; 

?>


Any help greatly appreciated!

Create a data form that should accept odd number of words in a particular sentence Input Example: I am working in retailon. and should display the output as reversing first and last word and second word to fourth word and so on and the middle word should be same and should also display the number of words. Output Example: retailon in working am i. words=5. Input:I am Working in Google. Output:Google in Working am I. Words:5
