Thanks...I know it's not the token...like I said, the API call works fine when I do it in the browser. -
Where XYZ is actual values obviously.Code:$link='http://xyz'; $token='xyz'; $request='http://www.xyz.com/api/article?token='.$token.'&url='.urlencode($link); $response = file_get_contents($request);
I spoke with the API provider and they say no changes on their side.
I haven't done anything to my server..not sure if the provider did something? But like I said, the same code works fine on another...Leave a comment:

file_get_contents not working -- sometimes
Okay, here's a puzzle worthy of Sherlock Holmes.
There's an API I am working with in PHP by fetching the contents of a GET request using file_get_conten ts($url), where $url is the API request.
Here are the facts of what is and isn't working for me.
1. The main problem (and reason I am asking this question) is that I get a timeout on the file_get_conten ts
2. However, when I run the API call in the... -
Sorry..I'm not sure I understand. Where does this go?Leave a comment:

Pipe an email to a PHP script
I set up an email address on my server "post@domain.co m" and I want every emailed received to be sent to a php script, call it script.php.
My hosting service uses CPanel11, where their forwarding function allows to pipe an email to a program.
I set it up as
|/home/ubitig/public_html/script.php
And the on top of that file I say
#!/usr/local/bin/php -q
And I changed the permissions... -
Scheduling tasks such executing a php script
I have a php script that sends out an email newsletter and I'd like to be able to schedule it to be executed once a week. I don't know unix so cron is out of the question. I was hoping for some GUI handling of this. Unfortunately my host doesn't have one. Unless you can tell me what the script would look like in cron to call a .php file on my domain. Any help is much appreciated. -
How to query XML data? Move data to MySQL or xQuery?
OK since my post was moved to a new thread let me add some context :)
I was asking about help with figuring out how to go about implementing xQuery or mySQL to analyze large datasets.
At this point I am very good at data management using XML and manipulation using PHP (and then displaying the data back to the user using the XMLHttpRequest object in Javascript).
While XML was super intuitive and easy to learn...Last edited by akristof; Apr 15 '12, 11:12 AM. Reason: seperate question, requires new thread.. adding context -
using session variables in my javascript
I'm relatively new to coding so forgive if this is dumb. I have a page built in html/css/js/php. I want to add in some user functionality. I figured out how add a simple login mechanism, start sessions and carry variables, such as user's name/id, between pages.
My question is twofold:
a. Sessions being a php concept does every page I want to use session data in have to be a .php page? Everything I have written so far... -
Thx..my problem is that I was it to out of the flow with respect to everything else on the page but in the flow with respect to the element I want it to be next to (just to be able to position it on the page properly)..Leave a comment:

DIV madness - float/relative/absolute
Basically, I have been scratching my head about how to accomplish what gmail does in this picture
Specifically the div that pops up when you click "More"
Generally the problem is, how do you position a div to make it float on top of all other divs but still be positioned relative to a specific div (I know how to make a div display on top on all other divs in absolute terms .. and even in relative... -
the frustrating thing is that for something this basic (ie, php data pulled in from a form via POST won't automatically work as an index number because it needs to be converted into an integer first) you would expect it to be spelled out somewhere and yet i basically had to figure that out on my own .. i have yet to find one reference source that is comprehensive about all these things // *whine*Leave a comment:

thanks much!! the problem was somewhere else entirely - turns out that the variable i was pulling in from a FORM came in as a string and after i converted it into an integer everything worked perfectly
i feel a bit dumb..but hey, 2 weeks ago i knew nothing about coding and here i am talking about XPath .. lolLeave a comment:

yes i made the mistake in my description of the XML file..what i had in mind was a structure like what you said, ie
...Code:<parent> <child> <grandchild> abc </grandchild> <grandchild> def </grandchild> </child> <child> <grandchild> 123 </grandchild> <grandchild> 456 </grandchild> </child> </parent>

that's fair! i thought this might be a general problem that someone might have encountered before.Leave a comment:

//child[n]/grandchild[2]
this is assuming first child has n=0
does that seem right?Leave a comment:

PHP/forms: refreshing page with new results after submit
I am using PHP to edit the contents of an XML file based on user input in a form..the contents of the XML file are dynamically displayed on the page using XMLHttpRequest
In my PHP I use "header('Locati on:abc.html');" to reload the page after the form is submitted and PHP script runs
The problem I am running into is that the first time I load the page in a session (and ONLY the first time), the data displayed... -
thanks D.. so if the structure of my XML is
how would you access the...Code:<parent> <child1> <grandchild1> abc </grandchild1> <grandchild2> def </grandchild2> </child1> <child2> <grandchild1> 123 </grandchild1> <grandchild2> 456 </grandchild2> </child2> </parent>

using a variable to get the node number in simpleXML
how does one refer to a node in XML when the node number is a variable?
name[0] will return the value of first node with the name "name"
how would I refer to the value of n-th node?
or is it not possible to make a variable reference to a node in xml in php?
thanks much -
