Use raw PHP as custom BBCode

[TheGreatTK]

I've got the following tiny PHP script to grab some information from an Icecast server's information page. After some mucking around, i've found that you can't just paste PHP code into the custom bbcode "replacement" box and expect it to work.

I'd like anybody on the forum to be able to use this, inserting real time info into their posts (especially our DJ's) about the current status of our radio station.

Is it possible to accomplish this, or is there another way that I should be going?

$cheese+=+file_get_contents("http://digiclipse.org:8000");
$ding+=+explode("<td>Current+Song /td><td+class=\"streamdata\">",+$cheese);
$sping+=+explode("<td>Stream+Title /td><td+class=\"streamdata\">",+$ding[0]);
$title+=+explode("</td></tr><tr>",+$sping[1]);
$song+=+explode("</td></tr></table>",+$ding[1]);
echo+$title[0];
echo+"<br>";
echo+$song[0];
?>

you could ask these guys: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=150761 ... their stuff work with just a url, so a feed can be read and activate a addon like that...

Bumping.. the idea above doesn't work.. we just want text information such as listeners and song. There's a really cool addon already out there that does exactly what we want, but unfortunately it only works with the (much more limited) shoutcast.

What information are you needing to pull? Is it just the info from this page.(http://digiclipse.org:8000) It's possible I could make an AME definition for this.

Have a look at class_bbcode.php - look at the lone function at the end. ;)
