RE: [PHP-DB] the body of the response

2001-07-16 Thread Matthew Loff


Ken--

Output is a term I use to describe using echo or print on the data.

There aren't any "secret codes" in PHP. :)  There are functions and
language constructs.  

See http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.php 

Perhaps you should look into purchasing a book to learn how to get
started with PHP-- I'm sure others on the list could make some great
recommendations.

RE: [PHP-DB] the body of the response

2001-07-16 Thread Matthew Loff


Ken--

There's no "secret code".  By "giving" the response, I mean the
MovieResponder.php outputs that data... This is the most elementary of
PHP features... See:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.echo.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.print.php

By "giving" the data to your script, I am saying that the
MovieResponder.php script outputs the data (see above) thinking that a
-web browser- is at the other end... Your script takes that data, and
stores it to a variable by calling fread() (which I explained before).

You may want to start from the beginning, and get a good grasp as how
exactly the PHP language works:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/langref.php

Then experiment!  Create a PHP script that reads the data from a URL,
for example:

http://snaps.php.net/";, "r");
$page = fread($url, 10240);
fclose($url);

echo $page;

?>

The $page variable will contain the output of http://snaps.php.net/.

Good luck!
--Matt

RE: [PHP-DB] the body of the response

2001-07-16 Thread Matthew Loff


MovieResponder.php can generate -anything- you want... HTML code, a
serialize()d array, or anything else...

By using fopen() to call http://www.wherever.com/MovieResponder.php and
fread() to grab the data to a local variable, you're calling the
MovieResponder.php script as if you are simply accessing it through a
web browser!

Whatever MovieResponder.php outputs-- HTML, etc... Will be saved in your
local variable for manipulation!


Here's an example... Say your MovieResponder.php file takes the $actor
and $year variables, and queries MySQL, then returns a list of movies.

... Let's say you called your script through your web browser as
http://www.wherever.com/MovieResponder.php?actor=Somebody&year=1977
And you created MovieResponder.php to give you this response:

Movie One 1977
Movie Two 1977
Movie Three 1977

... If your local PHP script looks like this:

$file = fopen("http://www.wherever.com/MovieResponder.php?actor="; .
urlencode($actor) . "&year=" . urlencode($year), "r");
$data = fread($file, 10240);
fclose($file);

... Then if you called your local script with $actor = Somebody and
$year = 1977, when it is called, your $data variable would contain:

Movie One 1977
Movie Two 1977
Movie Three 1977

Easy as that!  It's a very simple concept.

RE: [PHP-DB] the body of the response

2001-07-16 Thread Matthew Loff



The "body" of the response is the data that the
http://www.site.com/MovieResponder.php script would produce.  

The fread() call that I meantioned before would read -all- of this data
into a variable.

Subject: [PHP-DB] the body of the response


PHP manual says:
fopen
fopen -- Opens file or URL
Description
int fopen (string filename, string mode [, int use_include_path])

If filename begins with "http://"; (not case sensitive), an HTTP 1.0
connection is opened to the specified server, the page is requested
using the HTTP GET method, and a file pointer is returned to the
beginning of the body of the response.

can someone explain the clause:

"and a file pointer is returned to the beginning of the
body of the response."

can someone explain and describe what this "body"  is?

can query results be put in this 'body',,if so how?

thanks,

Ken
