PHP - Url Contents Onto A String
Hi all
So I'm back to being a php newbie after not touching the stuff for years....and straight back to being pretty sure I'm just incredibly stupid.
I want to grab the contents of a url onto a string so that I can search the string and use the contents. I think this should work:
<?php $homepage = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/'); echo "Homepage = " . $homepage; ?>But it doesn't. What am I doing wrong, or could there be an issue with my server that means it's not able to perform this maybe? (It's working fine for everything so far) Or is there another way of achieving this? Thanks!! Similar TutorialsHi, I am trying to make some adjustments to uploadify.php which comes with the latest version of uploadify (3.0 beta), so that it works with a session variable that stores the login username and adds it to the path for uploads. Here is uploadify.php as it currently looks: Code: [Select] <?php session_name("MyLogin"); session_start(); $targetFolder = '/songs/' . $_SESSION['name']; // Relative to the root if (!empty($_FILES)) { $tempFile = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name']; $targetPath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $targetFolder; $targetFile = rtrim($targetPath,'/') .'/'. $_FILES['Filedata']['name']; // Validate the file type $fileTypes = array('m4a','mp3','flac','ogg'); // File extensions $fileParts = pathinfo($_FILES['Filedata']['name']); if (in_array($fileParts['extension'],$fileTypes)) { move_uploaded_file($tempFile,$targetFile); echo '1'; } else { echo 'Invalid file type.'; } } echo $targetFolder; ?> I added Code: [Select] echo $targetFolder; at the bottom so that I could make sure that the string returned was correct, and it is, i.e. '/songs/nick'. For some reason though, uploads are not going to the correct folder, i.e. the username folder, but instead are going to the parent folder 'songs'. The folder for username exists, with correct permissions, and when I manually enter Code: [Select] $targetFolder = '/songs/nick';all works fine. Which strikes me as rather strange. I have limited experience of using php, but wonder how if the correct string is returned by the session variable, the upload works differently than with the manually entered string. Any help would be much appreciated. It's the last issue with a website that was due to go live 2 days ago! Thanks, Nick Hello all, I'm trying to change the end of a javascript call based on the end of the url string. The common part of all the url strings is sobi2Id=, I'm trying to do this with strstr but am having no luck. I'm new to php so my syntax knowledge is terrible! at the moment i've got Code: [Select] <?php $url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; $tag = strstr ($url, 'sobi2Id='); echo $tag; ?> but this returns an unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' Can anyone debug this? I may well be being really silly! This topic has been moved to PHP Regex. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=326004.0 Hey there, Thanks for taking the time to read my thread. My issue is that I can't think of a way to edit a XML file using PHP's XML functionality and then assign the edited contents to a string instead of saving the file. Because my issue is that I have to edit the XML file based upon a string brought from a remote location then give it back to that remote location using a string again, to be exact I am doing it via Linux command line utilizing SSH2. This is what I managed to complete on my own. function CheckIVMPConfig($ServerID) { global $Panel; if(is_numeric($ServerID) && $this->IsValidServer($ServerID)) { // We select the game server that the FTP account was created for. $Servers = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM control_servers WHERE server_id = '".mysql_real_escape_string($FTPAccount['ftp_server'])."'"); $Server = mysql_fetch_array($Servers); // Here we select the Box ID that the game server is on. $Boxs = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM control_machines WHERE machine_id = '".$Server['server_machine']."'"); $Box = mysql_fetch_array($Boxs); // Now we select the required package for the box. $Packages = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM control_packages WHERE package_id = '".$Server['server_package']."'"); $Package = mysql_fetch_array($Packages); // Retrive the file. $Config = $CProtocol->exec("cat /home/{$Server['server_id']}/{$Package['package_config']}"); $Parse = SimpleXMLElement($Config); foreach($Parse as $Entry) // loop through our books { if($Entry->port != $Server['server_port']) { // edit the value } else if($Entry->maxplayers > $Server['server_slots']) { // edit the value } } } } I have the following function, which takes a string with commas in it and attempts remove those commas. The way I have it here is that I use explode to take out the commas, which makes an array, and then iterate through that array to put a string back together without the commas. function tags_to_sort_by( $sortMeta ) { $sortByArray = explode(",", $sortMeta); $sortByCount = count($sortByArray); for ($i = 0; $i < $sortByCount; $i++) { $sortByString += $sortByArray[$i]; } return $sortByString; } What does not work is the following line: $sortByString += $sortByArray[$i]; Somehow that outputs a 0, which I don't understand. It should output something like: arrayItem1 arrayItem2 array3 etc. My question is if there either is an easier way to remove the commas from the original string or what I am doing wrong in this line: $sortByString += $sortByArray[$i]; // I am trying to concatenate each part of the array back into the string. Thanks a lot for help with this! hey guys im trying to find a string inside a string which could be made up of different things eg... {$test}, {$test1}, {$test2} etc (but the varable inside could be called anything hence maybe using regex im not sure?) is this possible?...i hope you guys understand....thanks
In PHP Version 8.0 shows error as : In previous versions of PHP it does not show any error. Please resolve the issue. I am looking for a date within larger string, lets say the date is December 4, 2010. To find it I use pattern and function below: $Pattern='/[(January|February|March|April|May|June|July|August|September|October|November|December)] \d, \d\d\d\d/i'; preg_match_all($Pattern, $String, $Matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE, $NumberPosition); The function finds the dates within the string but to my supprise the result I get in $Matches is: r 4, 2010 What I would like to get is: December 4, 2010 but don't know how it should be fixed. I thought that with the pattern I am using but obviously that is not the case. I need to know if a string exists within a string. I've tried using STRIPOS() but it returns zero or false if what I'm looking for is the first part of the string. I don't care what function I use, but I need to get a "true" when the needle string is present anywhere in the haystack string, even at location zero. Is there some way to set up the STRIPOS() statement? I've tried: if ((stripos($title, 'needle') > 0 ) if ((stripos($title, 'needle') = true ) and even if ((stripos($title, 'needle') >= 0 ) which returns true for everything, even when the needle string is NOT present. Any help appreciated. thanks, Tom Hello guys i am trying to figure out how to fwrite a string for example "Recommended Settings for Service Pack" under "Current Settings for Service Pack: 5.1.2600ServicePack3Build2600".

It counts Arabic encoding characters. Hello friends, if i have the following $path = "http://*site*.com"; why can't i write the following $ORGtext= file_get_contents('$path'); it works only if i write $ORGtext= file_get_contents('http://*site*.com'); but i want to put $path instead of the url at file_get_contents is it possible and if yes then how ? thank you I want to parse some tiny lines from a webpage. I have few questions: 1. What is faster and better: cURL or file_get_contents? 2. Is it better to run preg_match commands form every line I want OR first get a shorter part (e.g. between <head> tag) then running preg_match for the lines? 3. Actually, I need to load the whole page before parsing. Is there a way to stop loading the whole page. For example, when I want something between <head> tag; stop loading <body>? Thank you in advance! I have this script below that makes an XML which displays the contents of a directory which contains image files. After running the .php, the XML output looks like this: Code: [Select] <gallery> <content src="./uploaded/images/Desert.jpg"/> <content src="./uploaded/images/Penguins.jpg"/> <content src="./uploaded/images/tux.png"/> <content src="./uploaded/images/Jellyfish.jpg"/> <content src="./uploaded/images/Chrysanthemum.jpg"/> <content src="./uploaded/images/Tulips.jpg"/> <content src="./uploaded/images/Koala.jpg"/> </gallery> I would like the output to be like: Code: [Select] <gallery> <photos> <photo> <content src="./uploaded/images/Desert.jpg"/> </photo> <photo> <content src="./uploaded/images/Penguins.jpg"/> </photo> <photo> <content src="./uploaded/images/tux.png"/> </photo> <photo> <content src="./uploaded/images/Jellyfish.jpg"/> </photo> <photo> <content src="./uploaded/images/Chrysanthemum.jpg"/> </photo> <photo> <content src="./uploaded/images/Tulips.jpg"/> </photo> <photo> <content src="./uploaded/images/Koala.jpg"/> </photo> </photos> </gallery> Here is the script: Code: [Select] <?php $path_to_image_dir = "./uploaded/images"; // path to your image directory $xml_string = <<<XML <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <gallery> </gallery> XML; $xml_generator = new SimpleXMLElement($xml_string); if ( $handle = opendir( $path_to_image_dir ) ) { while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { if ( is_file($path_to_image_dir.'/'.$file) ) { $image = $xml_generator->addChild('content'); $image->addattribute('src', $path_to_image_dir.'/'.$file); } } closedir($handle); } header("Content-Type: text/xml"); echo $xml_generator->asXML(); ?> Hi This is something used in CPUs Logical shift right I have a string $bin = "10011101"; // result should be "01001110" the function is function LogicalShiftRight($bin) { for($x = 7; $x == 0; $x--) { echo $x; $bin[$x+1] = $bin[$x]; } $bin[0] = 0; return $bin; } cant get the loop to work backwords. This is an 8 bit shift right putting a zero at the highest bit. I have made a file explorer for my site so i can upload files, delete them and rename them. Everythings working fine except when i want to delete a folder. I realise you cant use ftp_delete, coz' that only works for files. I have tried rmdir, and even though I am getting no errors, it seems to do nothing :s So what is the best way to delete a folder and its contents using PHP FTP commands? Thanks guys Hey, I need a bit of help replacing some variables in a string. I know its done with preg_replace. Here is the string: Code: [Select] Header 1 <|header 2|> header 3 <b>header 4</b> I would like to get ONLY <|header 2|> from the above string. But "header 2" is variable so please its useless if the preg_replace isn't flexible to find whatever word is in there regardless. Thanks you. I am trying to use the following code to include a directories contents and was wondering what im doing wrong, because its not working? Code: [Select] if ($handle = opendir('../configs')) { while (false !== ($FILEZ = readdir($handle))) { include "$FILEZ"; } closedir($handle); } |
