[PHP] Static and/or Dynamic site scraping using PHP

[9el]

I just got a project to do on PHP of scraping the body items from
static sites or just html sites.
Could you experts please suggest me some quick resources?

I have to make an WP plugin with the data as well.

Without much argument you should just follow What Robert has told

Just dump your db and you can replace the collate to desired one and then
put back in DB server  et voila!

$Count = $Count + 1; is exactly(?) same as $Count++;  or ++$Count
But not exactly same.  PostFix notation adds the value after assigning.
PreFix notation adds the value right away.
But optimized programming argues about how machine is coded nowadays.

Re: RES: [PHP] inexplicable behaviour

I have pagination set up and the number for pages "next" has a link but
the "next" does not. I have experimented with all sorts of
configurations of the code but the only thing that works (and this is
totally "off the wall") is to do this
*$Count* = *mysql_num_rows($results);*
$Count1=*$Count++;* // without this, the "next" does not do the link---
but there is no other $Count1 in the code either in the original page or
the include page.

There's a NICE video tutorial available on pagination over the internet. You
should watch it.

You are counting the number of rows of a result. And you are asking to
increase the count by 1.   :D

Thats not realistic.

pagination is done with  the help of mySQL's * LIMIT recNUMBER, count*
*
Look for "Pagination with PHP + MySQL" and watchit

I'd call you a lame duck just for now.
Cause, you could have asked Google what ZCE is. And if you should like
programming in PHP you should care about the ZCE as well.

ZCE means Zend Certified Engineer. And I refered to that book because
that book helped me preparing for that exam. Which covers really
important best practices PHP Developers should be aware of. I am not
giving you more info as you said you can use Google.

For now you can go back to set the php.ini to default with the
ini_set function.

You can use ini_get to retrieve data from the php.ini configs

a phpinfo() will show you all the current settings.

If you play with jQuery its easy.

And if you talk about JavaScript's urlencode functionality you wont ask

Large chunks of data are sent via POST method.

Hello Experts,

I badly need your help. My developed site's some pages are HTTPS, and
other parts are HTTP. When I try to access the HTTPS page in IE it
comes up with "secure & non-secure content " warning. I search on
google to find out the solution. but almost every site suggest to
change the IE setting. But, its not wish way to tell every visitor's
to change  the IE setting. So, I want to stop this message with some
coding. while searching, I found some advice to make all image to
HTTPS, for https pages, I followed that, but still i am getting this
same pop up warning. Is there any other way to solve my problem? Any
one can help me on it? Please do reply.

Intead of displaying errors to page. Its better to use error log file.

 Modlogan, Awestats, webalizer these are some tools for measuring such. Also
there's cPanel software which tracks per account.

and why dont you use services like Youtube/Viddler for that purpose?

There is something definitely wrong with your code. But why did you forget
to use the debugging functions :

print_r()
and var_dump()  for the results?

So, you'll get some idea beforehand of posting the problem here. I am
looking at the code in a hurry so I cant help you much right away.

 Hi Roly,

 As previously advised, the best you can do to get started is to
install a bundle
 http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html

 If you are a native Spanish speaker (I'm guessing, because of your "salu2")
 check the PHP-MySQL tutorials here http://www.illasaron.com/, you can find
 single lessons or full courses on the left sidebar here
 http://www.illasaron.com/html/ and a supporting forum here
 http://www.illasaron.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=24. You'll need to register for
 accessing the direct downloads, registering is free (there are also .torrent
 downloads for the illasaron courses at thepiratebay.org)

 Regards,

 Rob



Rob, please keep the mail to the list. It came to me individually
only! where as I didn't ask for the solution :)\

Well, yes  ApacheFriend's XAMPP is one of the best suites ever with
lots of things in there.

And www.nettuts.com just last month released really nice tutorials for
beginners on PHP so thats really recommended if anyone wants to start
learning PHP + MySQL

I think this idea solves it a lot. i have like 4 to 7 tables only and both
database has the same schema. So, CSV would be a good idea. I just thinking
of a better idea to eliminate manual tasks it involves here.

And reading from CSV, that I can manage with phpCodes or using the params in

Yes, before writing the mail I had this confusion but as my
max_packet_allowed was default to 16M I couldn't have been able to continue
with 28M dump from Oracle.
Now that I have the schema in MySQL already. What can I do to get data only
from Oracle's DB?
There are lots of software tools out there but I want to learn it from the
base. I cant afford to buy any software either.

I found this command from one guy for importing Oracle's dump to MySQL

But, v is for verbose and f is for force continuation.

 Understandable why you cant reproduce the error. It gets generated when

generate that.

Would be a better idea to consult an experienced Web Application Architect
who would sense the weaknesses of the codes and would suggest the reworks to
make them optimized. Would be a hectic job for inexperienced developers.

What Jochem told is true, IDEs like DW is good for mainly designers but

For IDE I support using something like Netbeans PDT.

The way you asked about the files you included reflects you have some basic
lack of understanding of the way they should look like /organized(not
intended any slightest offense). But this discussion would open your eyes.
The file where your include other files is rendered as a single HTML file
so, think in that way, it would be just easy to understand.

Yes this curiosity is really helpful. As I mentioned about the intrusion

Mailiing list / group does it immediately, but here it takes 10 human days

If you think of the whole layout you know how to place the tags. that is
there cant be  twotags or two  tags etc.
So, it should be maintained well, that tags dont break and the html gets
valid and you do have working and expected output.

As mentioned, for security reasons its not wise to include files without
.php extentions.  you should include like   myincludefile.inc.php  or
sometext.txt.php etc.

As you said you are allowing the txt file from outside the server, it is
another security risk as well.   allow_url_fopen  lets this to open others
file. But lets say the file is at the hand of a bad guy, and  he modifies
that with malicious code to intrude into your server.

Please read  php Security issues to know about them in details.   CSRF, XSS,
ClickJacking, Phishing, Code-injections, SQL injections etc etc etc.
http://shiflett.org/  for  PHP Web  Security issues is a must read.  also

Do the real coders make invent the first Wheel?
Do they always type and never use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V?


I think a good IDE is a means of productivity multiplier. A coder can think
of many other things which really matters.

It can be compared with the Wild west gunmen versus AK-47 shooters or
Bazooka

There's a fun joke in My Mothertongue Bangla (5th most spoken in the world

"Anis dis na"   =  "Take but never giveaway"

Anis is a common arabic name but in Bangla  Anis means   'you may/can

dis = to give

As we discussed, the declaration of size of the file is COMPLETELY
unnecessary in this case.

 test.js is only a few lines long, and if I remove the header content

 I thought about zlib gzip taking maybe a long time to load but I've

I think content-length is not a thing you have to mention.  Only I have seen

 Hello,

 I don't know for sure is this problem is only related to PHP so I hope
 I've posted in the right list.

 My problem is that with certain headers my script takes about 5 seconds
 before sending the page, no matter how small the file I try to load...
 My server :
 Centos
 Apache 2.2
 PHP 5.2.9

 Here's my code :

 >>> header('Content-Type: application/x-javascript');
 header('Content-Length: '.filesize('test.js'));
 readfile('test.js');
 ?>

 test.js is only a few lines long, and if I remove the header content
 type
 the file loads instantaniously do it's not a problem with readfile.
 I thought about zlib gzip taking maybe a long time to load but I've
 changed the compression level from 6 to 1 and the file still has a the
 same
 lag.

 My server responds very fast for eveything else except this script. Do
 you
 have an idea what might be causing this lag ?

 Thanks in advance :)

I completely agree with Hans, as PHP cant be directly compared to that of
java's behaviour.
All of your team should be using a single IDE or at least good IDEs  like
Zend Studio, Eclipse PDT, NetBeans PDT while Netbeans is currently the best.
PHP is more of a loosely typed language you cant really rely on compile time
or something like that to be able to detect old typo bugs etc.

The other way is writing a separate engine to detect those sorts of bugs,
but using IDE and checking them manually can only ensure the perfectness.

Re: [PHP] Conclusion of "use strict"...

[9el]

You got it all wrong. As explained, php dont have real compile time like
other languages. And if you want to learn a language, you have to start the
way it acts. the E_STRICT setting will tell you most of the errors possible
from a php script.
At production level programmers keep the errors away from visitors eyes by
redirecting them all to log files.
If you use PDT like NetBeans (which is regarded as the best one yet...
there's one version of  Visual PHP for Visual Studio developers as well)
As you have got to check the errors for typos its the best way to get aid of
the PDT IDEs. Thats my personal opinion.

Well,  allow_url_fopen is really a security issue. A renowned programmer (
http://hasin.wordpress.com) said it could even cause DoS(Denial of Service)
for the running server.

Re: [PHP] Development methods (was: "use strict" or similar in PHP?)

[9el]

Also in place of Vi  you should be looking for an IDE like Netbeans PDT
which is one of the best for coding in PHP you can forget using TextPad for
this.
And to let your codes versioned use SVN=Subversion

Using a framework lets you apply and abide by some conventions and lets you
DRY=Dont Repeat Yourself .. which is very helpful for a large project.

Well you are running shell script style execution its not example of
Compiled code or Binary

The data in the file is ASCII or UTF text :)

Compilation happens when its zendOptimized or OpCoded. Its then is converted
into binary content file.

If you are a programmer you should know the difference between  Compiler and
Interpreter.   PHP is interpretted.
You are using term without knowing the meaning.

Just like javascript is run in browser  ... PHP is run at server while the
page is being served to the visitor  clear?

Now tell us your question again.

Re: [PHP] Re: catch the error

[9el]

PJ you should be getting Warning errors the way you had the code.

You definitely is a fun lover and enjoy moments. But while coding dont only
think of fastness of coding but also code with logic.

I was going to answer you about the $db but later I found lots response
already came so didn't really dig to get the errors. Look back, see, I asked
if you got rid of the errors :)

Now, if you dont use the  variable in the parameter it will look for the
immediate opened database resource but if you use a variable. THEN it
must contain that required resource thats just OBVIOUS reason. And, your
error reporting should be reporting that. I haven't checked the code. A
funny thing is you are making others think for the things you should be
thinking. I dont say its bad. Its actually good for all of us having some
drill on the basics :D

Well, you can use  mysql_real_escape.. to avoid SQL injection possibilities.
And ofcourse give a try with the  mysqli functions, prepared statements and
PDO. And with the frameworks you have less chance to do mistake.

You can use  sprintf("select * from `user` where `username`=%s",$user);

Also you can look into the great frameworks of PHP like  ZendFramework,
CodeIgniter, CakePHP etc.

Re: [PHP] Web Development work

[9el]

Very wise words or wisdom Ken. And Ernie, I just gave you most of the
renowned places where freelancers or even large companies bid for works.
There are programmers like you and as Ken said, even thousand times better
programmers than you who are going along the way. Its a wonder how you do
not know those names. You just gotta be friends with the google.

A software engineer doesnt mean that he is god. And web developer doesnt
mean unemployed. I and my team is member with lot other freelancing sites
and have local and overseas permanent clients for whom we working remotely.
Starting from making a blog to making crawler or video upload/download site.
Or, real-estate sales, rental with Map API integrated search results. Or,
say Facebook applications or iPhone apps!

We just need to learn fast the best of the technologies with the best of the
methods and yet we have to be business oriented.

Thanks

Yes, and it would be better for you to have an in depth look into the open
source projects found. Get to analyse them. So, you'll get familiarized with
the advanced well known methods. Learning from them you will be able to
create something better and not reinventing the wheels.

Having concluded with this realization get to read about Security chapters

Re: [PHP] PHP - user profile page with pic

[9el]

The question can be equally rephrased as "How an Atom bom/Spaceship be
created"?

Answer depends on the level of knowledge you have on coding / developing
sites. Woud you be using any framework? or would you use any readymade CMS?
Or write everything from scratch?

Question can also be generalized further like would php be your developing
language? Or you'd develop your own new language out of the box. :)

dirname
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
dirname — Returns directory name component of path
Description
string dirname ( string $path )
Given a string containing a path to a file, this function will return the
name of the directory.
Parameters
path
A path.
On Windows, both slash (/) and backslash (\) are used as directory separator
character. In other environments, it is the forward slash (/).
Return Values
Returns the name of the directory. If there are no slashes in path , a dot
('.') is returned, indicating the current directory. Otherwise, the returned
string is path with any trailing /component removed.
Changelog
Version
Description
5.0.0
dirname() is now binary safe
4.0.3
dirname() was fixed to be POSIX-compliant.
Examples
Example #1 dirname() example

Notes
Note: Since PHP 4.3.0, you will often get a slash or a dot back from
dirname() in situations where the older functionality would have given you
the empty string.
Check the following change example:

the . before the quotemark  is the concatenation operator which joins the
string(texts) together. :)

. (dot)  is string concatenator/concatenation operator. And  .. (double dot)
used in a path is a shorthand for parent directory.  Goto your command
console . ie.  CMD or Command.com or linux console type  cd .. and press
enter it will take you to one level up.  also in this shorthand . (a single
dot) means current directory/folder (please dont mixup with concatenation
operator)
