no, I dont think so!
look at this:
------------------ <snap> -------------------
$fp=fopen('http://www.vornamenlexikon.de/main/suchen.asp?kriterium=search&B1
=Suchen&action=searchnow&searchby='.$name,"r");
if($fp){
$daten=fread($fp,100000);
fclose($fp);
$male='/m.gif';
$female='/w.gif';
if((strpos($daten,$female)>0)&&(strpos($daten,$male)>0)){
if(strpos($daten,$male)>strpos($daten,$female))$result='w';
else $result='m';
}else if(strpos($daten,$female)>0)$result='w';
else if(strpos($daten,$male)>0)$result='m';
}
if(empty($result)){
$fp=fopen('http://www.kindername.de/'.strtolower(substr($name,0,1)).'-namen.
htm',"r");
if($fp){
$namen=array();
$daten=fread($fp,100000);
fclose($fp);
$daten=strstr($daten,'<font size="4" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif"><B>VORNAMEN MIT');
for($cnt=0;strpos($daten,'<tr>')>0;$cnt++){
$daten=substr(strstr($daten,'<tr>'),4);
$tag=substr($daten,0,strpos($daten,'</tr>'));
if(strpos($tag,'</td>')>0){
$x1=substr(strstr($tag,'<td>'),4);
while(strpos($x1,' ')>0)$x1=str_replace(' ',' ',$x1);//TAB
while(strpos($x1,' ')>0)$x1=str_replace(' ',' ',$x1);//DBLSPACE
$x1=trim($x1);
for($i=1;strpos($x1,'<td>')>0;$i++){
$field=strtolower(trim(strip_tags(substr($x1,0,strpos($x1,'</td>')))));
if($i==1)$namen[$cnt]=array($field);
else if($i==2)$namen[$cnt]['gender']=trim($field);
else if($i==3){
while(strpos($field,',')>0){
array_push($namen[$cnt],substr($field,0,strpos($field,',')));
$field=substr(strstr($field,','),1);
}
array_push($namen[$cnt],$field);
}else if($i==4){
if(in_array($name,$namen[$cnt]))$result=$namen[$cnt]['gender'];
}
$x1=substr(strstr($x1,'<td>'),4);
} } } } }
------------------ </snap> -------------------
you can see... it works!
but just, because the target-url's realy exists!
its even not enough for me... the script above only scan german and some
english names.
russian ones like "dimitri" or names like "hassan", etc. are NOT included.
so I tryed to include this function
------------------ <snap> -------------------
$fp=@fopen('http://babynames.pregnancy.yahoo.com/bnfname?n='.$name,"r");
if($fp){
$daten=fread($fp,10000);
fclose($fp);
$male='boy';
$female='girl';
if((strpos($daten,$female)>0)&&(strpos($daten,$male)>0)){
if(strpos($daten,$male)>strpos($daten,$female))$result='w';
else $result='m';
}else if(strpos($daten,$female)>0)$result='w';
else if(strpos($daten,$male)>0)$result='m';
}
------------------ </snap> -------------------
but THIS one does'nt run, because the URL does not exist.
http://babynames.pregnancy.yahoo.com/bnfname?n=Patrick
or
http://babynames.pregnancy.yahoo.com/bnfname.htm?n=Patrick
http://babynames.pregnancy.yahoo.com/bnfname.?n=Patrick
http://babynames.pregnancy.yahoo.com/bnfnameBLABLA?n=Patrick
is all the saim and WORKS in a BROWSER... but not through the "fopen"
function.
HOW ?
... (or how else ?)
Tribun
PS: I know. its not the best english ;)
