[Resolved] parse info from site?

DeathfireD

Hi I have been working on a parser for my site. I have come accross some issues though.

Here is the most current code:

<?php $handle = fopen("http://www.tibia.com/community/?subtopic=character&name=".$_GET['name'],"r");
 if($handle) {
   while (!feof($handle)) {
     $contents .= fread($handle, 8192);
        fclose($handle);
        }
         function parse($skill){
          	return substr(strstr($GLOBALS['contents'], '>'.$skill.'<'), strrpos(substr(strstr($GLOBALS['contents'], '>'.$skill.'<'), 1, 90), "</td><td align=") - 7, 2);}
             echo parse(Name:).'|'.parse(Profession:).'|'.parse(Level:).'|'.parse(Guild membership:).'|'.parse(Character Deaths);
             error_reporting(E_ALL);
             ?>

It's basicly supposed to get the user you want's Name, Profession, level, Guild and full Deathlist.

Im having an error on line 9 and line 9 is

                          echo parse(Name:).'|'.parse(Profession:).'|'.parse(Level:).'|'.parse(Guild membership:).'|'.parse(Character Deaths);PHP] 

So I dont know how to do this correctly since parse is  not on the php.net site as a stand alone function...anyone know how to fix this.

Also if your planning on testing the above source to use it add a ?name=DeathfireD after the test.php (ex. [url]httP://www.test.com/test.php?name=DeathfireD[/url])

[b] PS. since the site dosnt seem to like the code go here to view the correct source. [URL=http://ordway.ath.cx:5121/TDA/uploader/images/tibia.txt]Source[/URL]

Hahaha!!!
I say that because it alluded me for like 5 minutes too.

You forgot closing parethesis!!! And to encapsulate things in quotes if they are strings!!

You open a parse() funciton, but don't close it. Your line should be:

<?php

echo	parse('Name<img src="images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="">').'|'.
		parse('Profession<img src="images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="">').'|'.
		parse('Level<img src="images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="">').'|'.
		parse('Guild membership<img src="images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="">').'|'.
		parse('Character Deaths');

/*
For aesthetics, I chopped it up.  Plus, it's easier to read/debug.
*/

?>

Small woops on your part.

Ya! I noticed that too last night and I tryed fixing that and then testing it but I still get a parse error on like 11. The funny thing is I dont have a line 11 🙁

Heres the current updated source. Here is source

An unexpected end. Count the '{'s in your code, and count the '}'s.

You forgot to close the If() statement. Everything else is fine.

Is this correct?

<?php $handle = fopen("http://www.tibia.com/community/?subtopic=character&name=".$_GET['name'],"r");
 if($handle) {
   while (!feof($handle)) {
     $contents .= fread($handle, 8192);
        fclose($handle);
        }
     }
         function parse($skill){
          	return substr(strstr($GLOBALS['contents'], '>'.$skill.'<'), strrpos(substr(strstr($GLOBALS['contents'], '>'.$skill.'<'), 1, 90), "</td><td align=") - 7, 2);}
             echo parse('Name').'|'.parse('Profession').'|'.parse('Level').'|'.parse('Guild membership').'|'.parse('Character Deaths');
             }
             ?>

Edit
I tryed that and still nothing. I have a feeling the issue is with the link at the top. I think im not handeling it correctly becuse when I try this method on a diffrent MMROPG site such as Rune scape it works fine.

You have the fclose() inside of your while() so it won't read all that much. Move the fclose() outside of the while loop. And outside of the if() statement.

mmmm Im a bit confused. Like this?

 <?php $handle = fopen("http://www.tibia.com/community/?subtopic=character&name=".$_GET['name'],"r");
 if($handle) {
   while (!feof($handle)) {
     $contents .= fread($handle, 8192);
        }
     }
     fclose($handle);
         function parse($skill){
              return substr(strstr($GLOBALS['contents'], '>'.$skill.'<'), strrpos(substr(strstr($GLOBALS['contents'], '>'.$skill.'<'), 1, 90), "</td><td align=") - 7, 2);}
             echo parse('Name').'|'.parse('Profession').'|'.parse('Level').'|'.parse('Guild membership').'|'.parse('Character Deaths');
             }
             ?>

can you show me? thanks. BTW the above code still dosnt work 🙁

bpat1434

You're right.

Have you tried not using $GLOBALS['contents'] and rather doing:

<?php 
$handle = fopen("http://www.tibia.com/community/?subtopic=character&name=".$_GET['name'],"r");
if($handle) {
	while (!feof($handle)) {
		$contents .= fread($handle, 8192);
	}
}
fclose($handle);

function parse($skill){
	global $contents;
	return substr(strstr($contents, '>'.$skill.'<'), strrpos(substr(strstr($contents, '>'.$skill.'<'), 1, 90), "</td><td align=") - 7, 2);
}
echo parse('Name').'|'.
	parse('Profession').'|'.
	parse('Level').'|'.
	parse('Guild membership').'|'.
	parse('Character Deaths');
?>

YOu also had an extra "}" after the echo statement.

I have some good news and some bad news. Your code displayed some stuff. But not the correct info lol.

Heres where you can find the test right here

It echos out TD||||

If you go here http://www.tibia.com/community/?subtopic=character&name=DeathfireD you can view the page where it should be getting the correct info.

also if theres more then one Death then how would I get it to list them all. I dont know how to make the loop through or array.

bpat1434

I don't know what you're trying to achieve, but here you go, this is my take of it:

<?php
if( !isset($_GET['name']) || empty($_GET['name']) )
{
	$_GET['name'] = 'Deathfired';
}
$line_to_find = "<TABLE BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=1 CELLPADDING=4 WIDTH=100%><TR BGCOLOR=#505050><TD COLSPAN=2 CLASS=white><B>Character Information";
$line_to_delete = "<TABLE WIDTH=100% BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=1 CELLPADDING=4><TR><TD BGCOLOR=\"#505050\" CLASS=white><B>Search Character";
$url = "http://www.tibia.com/community/?subtopic=character&name=".$_GET['name'];

$contents = file_get_contents($url);

$contents = stristr($contents, $line_to_find);
$delete = stristr($contents, $line_to_delete);
$contents = str_replace($delete, '', $contents);

$name_string = stristr($contents, "<TD WIDTH=20%>Name:</TD><TD>");
$proffession = stristr($contents, "Profession:</TD><TD>");
$level_string = stristr($contents, "<TR BGCOLOR=#D4C0A1><TD>Level:</TD><TD>");
$guild_string = stristr($contents, "<TR BGCOLOR=#F1E0C6><TD>World:</TD><TD>"); // I used the World: value here.
//$char_deaths = stristr($contents, "");

$name = substr($name_string, 28, strlen($_GET['name']));
$prof = substr($proffession, 20, strpos($proffession, "</TD>", 20)-20);
$level = substr($level_string, 39, strpos($level_string, "</TD>", 39)-39);
$guild = substr($guild_string, 39, strpos($guild_string, "</TD>", 39)-39);

echo '<b>Name:</b> '.$name.'<br>'."\n".
	'<b>Profession:</b> '.$prof.'<br>'."\n".
	'<b>Level:</b> '.$level.'<br>'."\n".
	'<b>Guild:</b> '.$guild."\n";
?>

I left the rest up to you. You can use my code as a guide.

Yes! thats what I was trying to get at. But if you noticed theres a Death list. DeathfireD dosnt happen to have one but if you go to here You will see the Deathlist.

"Character Deaths
Feb 15 2005, 16:32:13 CET Killed at Level 42 by Zon para"

see what I was trying to do was get the list you made and also add all the deaths on that page also. Theres not alwase just one death like this persons. Sometimes theres 5 or 9 or more. So I need some kind of loop threw list and echo all deaths.

Thank you for the source.

bpat1434

Yeah, i was working on it:

<?php
if( !isset($_GET['name']) || empty($_GET['name']) )
{
	$_GET['name'] = 'Deathfired';
}
$line_to_find = "<TABLE BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=1 CELLPADDING=4 WIDTH=100%><TR BGCOLOR=#505050><TD COLSPAN=2 CLASS=white><B>Character Information";
$line_to_delete = "<TABLE WIDTH=100% BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=1 CELLPADDING=4><TR><TD BGCOLOR=\"#505050\" CLASS=white><B>Search Character";
$url = "http://www.tibia.com/community/?subtopic=character&name=".$_GET['name'];

$contents = file_get_contents($url);

$contents = stristr($contents, $line_to_find);
$delete = stristr($contents, $line_to_delete);
$contents = str_replace($delete, '', $contents);

$name_string = stristr($contents, "<TD WIDTH=20%>Name:</TD><TD>");
$proffession = stristr($contents, "Profession:</TD><TD>");
$level_string = stristr($contents, "<TR BGCOLOR=#D4C0A1><TD>Level:</TD><TD>");
$guild_string = stristr($contents, "<TR BGCOLOR=#F1E0C6><TD>World:</TD><TD>"); // I used the World: value here.
//$char_deaths = stristr($contents, "");

$name = substr($name_string, 28, strlen($_GET['name']));
$prof = substr($proffession, 20, strpos($proffession, "</TD>", 20)-20);
$level = substr($level_string, 39, strpos($level_string, "</TD>", 39)-39);
$guild = substr($guild_string, 39, strpos($guild_string, "</TD>", 39)-39);

$beginning = stristr($contents, 'Character Deaths');
$ending = stristr($beginning, '</TABLE>');
$character_deaths = str_replace($ending, '', $beginning);

$deaths = explode('</TR>', $character_deaths);
$x = 0;
$i = 0;

for($i; $i<count($deaths); $i++)
{
    if( (stristr($deaths[$i], 'Character Deaths') === FALSE) && 
		(stristr($deaths[$i], '</TABLE>') === FALSE) && 
		($deaths[$i] !== ' ') )
    {
		$x++;
		list($killed[$x], $killedby[$x]) = explode('</TD><TD>', $deaths[$i]);
		$killed[$x] = str_replace('<TR BGCOLOR=#F1E0C6><TD WIDTH=25%>', '', $killed[$x]);
		$killed[$x] = str_replace('</TD><TD>', '', $killed[$x]);
		$killedby[$x] = substr($killedby[$x], 0, strpos($killedby[$x], '</TD>'));
		$death[$x] = $killed[$x].' '.$killedby[$x];
    }
}

echo '<b>Name:</b> '.$name.'<br>'."\n".
	'<b>Profession:</b> '.$prof.'<br>'."\n".
	'<b>Level:</b> '.$level.'<br>'."\n".
	'<b>Guild:</b> '.$guild."<br>\n";

echo "<b>Deaths:</b>";

if($death[$x] == '' || $death[$x] == " " || $death[$x] == "&nbsp;")
{
	unset($death[$x]);
	$x--;
}

if($x != 0)
{
	for($i=1; $i<$x; $i++)
	{
		echo "<br />\n".$death[$i];
	}
}
else
{
	echo " No Deaths Recorded.";
}
?>

Thanks alot, that would have taken me days to figure out.

So basicly your using the $_GET['name'] = 'Deathfired';
to get the users info correct? So im gonna have to make an input box to allow users to type in a name to lookup. Shouldnt be that hard. Thanks alot this helped me better understand getting data from sites.
