PHP - Using Xml Feeds To Display Live Odds On Website
Hi
I'm looking for some advice on how to parse an xml feed and display any odds on my site
Here is an example http://feed.youwincd...in_football.xml
and as you can see it is quite large so calling it every time would have an impact on the server.
I am looking at using many different feeds in the future so want to start this properly and in a scaleable way.
I want to use php but open to any ideas on the best way to do this
Many thanks
Sam
Similar TutorialsHi there, I'm wondering If anyone can assist me. I am currently a design student In Leeds, UK. I'm currently creating an online campaign whereby customers use QR codes to link to a created website with interesting youtube video on. At the moment I've just created a simple link to the chosen content http://newmedia.leeds.ac.uk/ug10/cs10dw/culture.html However I've come across Youtube API Standard feeds on the Youtube Reference Guide. http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/reference.html It states you can 'send a GET request to the URL associated with that feed', however, I've never really touched php before. Could anyone give me advise on how I would link say the Top rated feed to my site using https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/standardfeeds/top_rated Would that be difficult? ANY replies would be much appreciated! Regards David. Code: [Select] $card1 = rand(1,3); $card2 = rand(1,3); /// check money win //////// if($card1 == "1" && $card2 == "1" ){ echo "You won 100$?"; exit; mysql_query("UPDATE card SET money='$win_money' WHERE name='$name'"); } My code works wonderfully prob tho how can I show the odds of winning out of 100 to my suer? 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. It's very possible, and I've seen a website that's done it (http://www.zybez.net/radio/) - They are able to include the recent songs played on there website. The information can be obtained from right he http://68.168.100.60:7942/played.html But I'm not sure if thats where they get it from. If I login to my Admin section, there will be an option that says get XML stats. But I'm not sure if that shows the recent songs played like it would at http://68.168.100.60:7942/played.html (Everytime I refresh the page, the stats/data/info in the XML change) Code: [Select] 1250001522Rockhttp://srbuckey.listen2myradio.comMusicPEAK - RockKings of Leon - Radioactive N/AN/AN/A226153140audio/mpeg1.9.86201901701119000000004013207.144.125.60NSPlayer/11.0.6001.7006 WMFSDK/11.0026101521287587284Kings of Leon - Radioactive 1287586919Three Days Grace - Riot 1287586542Alice In Chains - Here Comes The Rooster 1287586281Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams 1287586277down 1287586075Green Day - American Idiot 1287586044Metallica - Enter Sandman 1287585836ACDC Highway To Hell.mp3 1287585449Metallica - 04 The Unforgiven I.MP3 1287585448[HTTP/1.1 200 OK] http://www.ventsi.com/Music/MetallicA/1991 - Black Album/Metallica - 04 The Unforgiven I.MP3

Hi,
I've got a "data.txt" file with the following content:
One1:One2:One3:One4:One5:One6 Two1:Two2:Two3:Two4:Two5:Two6 Three1:Three2:Three3:Three4:Three5:Three6Now I want to be able to take each data and put on a specific location of a htlm code. Each line for its own. So for the first line, it should look something like this: <html> <head> <title></title> <head> <body> <h1>One2</h1> <h2>One4 some other Text One5</h2> <img src="One6.jpg"> </body> </html>Unforturtunately I don't have a clue how to do that. Can anybody help me out or does someone know a good and easy tutorial? Thanks a lot I'm working with a downloaded open-source CMS on localhost, and trying to learn. Is there a tool that will list the files (php and otherwise) that are accessed (in order) as the CMS does various normal operations? I want to see the order and the repetition of files that are opened, even if it is something minor. Thanks. Hi again, What i am after is receiving some RSS feed from another website and displaying it on mine. Well i am not familiar with RSS feeds and how can i style them with CSS, so they match the layout of my website. I want to display the RSS feeds with PHP so they are effective with SEOS rather than using Javascript. Could some one point at a good tutorial or guide me in the right direction. It would be much appreciated thanks. Hi i have a simple blog which is stored in a table called messages, i have tried to create an rss feed that poeple can link to but am a bit stuck. the feed does not validate with the error code of: Sorry This feed does not validate. line 15, column 2: XML parsing error: <unknown>:15:2: not well-formed (invalid token) [help] Code: [Select] $sql = "SELECT title FROM messages ORDER BY date_added DESC limit 0,10"; Anybody got any ideas on this please, have read the rss pages and can comsume a fedd ok just cant produce one. Code: [Select] <?php $host = ""; $user = ""; $pass = ""; $port = "3306"; $database = "uni"; $MySQL = mysql_connect( "$host:$port", $user, $pass ); mysql_select_db( $database, $MySQL) or die ( "Couldn't open $database: ".mysql_error() ); ?> // Get latest items from db $sql = "SELECT title FROM messages ORDER BY date_added DESC limit 0,10"; $rst = mysql_query($sql); // Loop through data and build feed items $items = ""; while($a_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($rst)) { $items.= "<item>"; $items.= " <title>{$rst['title']}</title>"; $items.= " <link>{$rst['link']}</link>"; $items.= " <description>{$rst['description']}</description>"; $items.= "</item>"; } // Build feed text $feed = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>"; $feed.= "<rss version=\"2.0\">"; $feed.= " <channel>"; $feed.= " <title>My cool feed</title>"; $feed.= " <link>http://mi-linux.wlv.ac.uk/~0274148/AWT/blog/index.php</link>"; $feed.= " <description>A cool feed</description>"; $feed.= " $items"; $feed.= " </channel>"; $feed.= "</rss>"; // Display feed text echo $feed; Hi, I kow this is probably something simple, but i have 2 links to a RSS feed which i need to put up on a web page. Not just a link, but the actual feed rendered with a number of news headlines. One is a ".rss2.XML" link and the ither is a html link. the HTML i suppose is static, so probably not any good. thanks in advance I have a blog i created and i want to be able to create a page that can deal with the rss feeds. I have never done it before so if any one can give me some sugestions thats would be great. I'm using the following code to grab an RSS feed and parse it into an array: Code: [Select] $doc = new DOMDocument(); $doc->load('http://MySite.com/feed/'); $arrFeeds = array(); foreach ($doc->getElementsByTagName('item') as $node) { $itemRSS = array ( 'title' => $node->getElementsByTagName('title')->item(0)->nodeValue, 'desc' => $node->getElementsByTagName('description')->item(0)->nodeValue, 'link' => $node->getElementsByTagName('link')->item(1)->nodeValue, 'date' => $node->getElementsByTagName('pubDate')->item(0)->nodeValue ); array_push($arrFeeds, $itemRSS); }My problem is that there is one tag I'd like to access, but don't quite know how... It is: <content:encoded> I've looked at 'content' => $node->getElementsByTagName('content:encoded')->item(1)->nodeValue and 'content' => $node->getElementsByTagName('content')->item(1)->nodeValue But neither work. Any ideas? Hi, I am looking to have multiple RSS feeds coming populating into one list sorted by latest. Does anyone know or have any codes they are willing to share, even if it is just to get me started? Any help is much appreciated. This is for a charitable website so your time, help & expertise are much appreciated. If one inserts acute letters, grave letters, ampersands and accented letters in xhtml they show perfectly on the page. However if one uses insert or rss feed they show as � or a square. How does one make them show correctly. Currently I run a site that aggregates jobs about 100 cities so far and its starting to slow down my sites resources, I use a wordpress plugin to bring in the jobs but its giving me a resources alert.
My traffics not that high as of yet, but I'm worried about it causing problems on my shared hosting.
Server is running apache. Slow for wordpress?
Was just wondering best way to bring in multiple cities (thousands) /feeds and add category for each.
Hello everyone, I am having problem trying to fetch data from certain feeds. The problem is, the feeds aren't just using XML or just atom, it is a combo of both.

I have a full-text RSS component for Joomla that I was trying to modify. I wanted to be able to truncate the article to a given number of words and place a link at the end for the rest of the article. I need help figuring out how to add a link to the end of the source article. Added this script to the post.php file. It sort of works but the "$ending" tag doesn't seem to function since there is no "..." appended to the end of articles posted, when I tested it. public function truncate($text, $length = 200, $ending = '...', $exact = true, $considerHtml = false) { if ($considerHtml) { // if the plain text is shorter than the maximum length, return the whole text if (str_word_count(preg_replace('/<.*?>/', '', $text)) <= $length) { return $text; } // splits all html-tags to scanable lines preg_match_all('/(<.+?>)?([^<>]*)/s', $text, $lines, PREG_SET_ORDER); $total_length = str_word_count($ending); $open_tags = array(); $truncate = ''; foreach ($lines as $line_matchings) { // if there is any html-tag in this line, handle it and add it (uncounted) to the output if (!empty($line_matchings[1])) { // if it's an "empty element" with or without xhtml-conform closing slash (f.e. <br/>) if (preg_match('/^<(\s*.+?\/\s*|\s*(img|br|input|hr|area|base|basefont|col|frame|isindex|link|meta|param)(\s.+?)?)>$/is', $line_matchings[1])) { // do nothing // if tag is a closing tag (f.e. </b>) } else if (preg_match('/^<\s*\/([^\s]+?)\s*>$/s', $line_matchings[1], $tag_matchings)) { // delete tag from $open_tags list $pos = array_search($tag_matchings[1], $open_tags); if ($pos !== false) { unset($open_tags[$pos]); } // if tag is an opening tag (f.e. <b>) } else if (preg_match('/^<\s*([^\s>!]+).*?>$/s', $line_matchings[1], $tag_matchings)) { // add tag to the beginning of $open_tags list array_unshift($open_tags, strtolower($tag_matchings[1])); } // add html-tag to $truncate'd text $truncate .= $line_matchings[1]; } // calculate the length of the plain text part of the line; handle entities as one character $content_length = str_word_count(preg_replace('/&[0-9a-z]{2,8};|&#[0-9]{1,7};|[0-9a-f]{1,6};/i', ' ', $line_matchings[2])); if ($total_length+$content_length> $length) { // the number of characters which are left $left = $length - $total_length; $entities_length = 0; // search for html entities if (preg_match_all('/&[0-9a-z]{2,8};|&#[0-9]{1,7};|[0-9a-f]{1,6};/i', $line_matchings[2], $entities, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE)) { // calculate the real length of all entities in the legal range foreach ($entities[0] as $entity) { if ($entity[1]+1-$entities_length <= $left) { $left--; $entities_length += str_word_count($entity[0]); } else { // no more characters left break; } } } $truncate .= substr($line_matchings[2], 0, $left+$entities_length); // maximum lenght is reached, so get off the loop break; } else { $truncate .= $line_matchings[2]; $total_length += $content_length; } // if the maximum length is reached, get off the loop if($total_length>= $length) { break; } } } else { if (str_word_count($text) <= $length) { return $text; } else { $truncate = substr($text, 0, $length - str_word_count($ending)); } } // if the words shouldn't be cut in the middle... if (!$exact) { // ...search the last occurance of a space... $spacepos = strrpos($truncate, ' '); if (isset($spacepos)) { // ...and cut the text in this position $truncate = substr($truncate, 0, $spacepos); } } // add the defined ending to the text $truncate .= $ending; if($considerHtml) { // close all unclosed html-tags foreach ($open_tags as $tag) { $truncate .= '</' . $tag . '>'; } } return $truncate; } I have attached the whole file as well if you want to see the rest. This part of the script has the function that originally automatically added the link to the source article: if($link_original==1){ if(strlen($ret->fullText)) $ret->fullText.="<p><a href='". $item->link."' target='_blank'>".$text_link_original."</a></p>"; else $ret->introText.="<p><a href='". $item->link."' target='_blank'>".$text_link_original."</a></p>"; } The problem is that it gets truncated with the rest of the article now. Hi there all, I want to pull news feeds, from a web site and display them .... I have forgot what commands to use to do this. please help. Any example, i am most grateful. |
