Pull data from XML and put in postbit?!
 
OK, I'm completely lost. But I know this is simple stuff for you guys. I have a Age of Mythology Clan site, and I want to put the users rating into the postbit, under their name.

I think I've found out how to access this rating, which is ever-changing by going here:

http://aom.stats.zone.msn.com/AOM_RC0/query/query.aspx?<?xml version="1.0"?><clr><cmd v="query"/><co g="AOM_RC0" s="100" z="1.0.3"/><qer id="ESO.Query.Example.68.184.73.72" np="0" nn="0" si="0" en="GX_Iron" et="ZS_Human" md="ZS_Lightning" rn="ZS_TopPlayers" tp="ZS_AllTime"/></clr>

In the example above, GX_Iron should be a variable ($post[field5]) . My problem is how do I extract the field (parse?) "primaryrating" from the above resulting XML(link has the XML) and place(print?) it in the postbit?

I've searched everywhere for this, but can't find a simple answer.

Please help.

Thanks,
/DJ

$post[field5] should show profile field 5. :)

OK, but what I really need is some php code to place the rating into the postbit.

Here are some XML parsing functions if it helps: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xml.php

Ive read that as well as serveral others. Im beginning to understand some of it, but I don' know how to code php. If I had a sample bit of code, I know enough to be able to edit the code, but I certainly cannot write the code from scratch.

to print stuff out on the page in php do

PHP Code:
print "whatever will get printed to the page ex: $post[field5]"; 

digitalJE5U5 02-03-2003 11:28 PM
ok, but what I want to "print" is in an XML file at that link. How do I take "primary rating" out of the XML file and "print" that?

digitalJE5U5 02-04-2003 12:38 AM
OK, below is some code that takes the "rating" off that page.
PHP Code:
function getmicrotime()
{
  list($usec, $sec) = explode(" ",microtime()); 
  return ((float)$usec + (float)$sec); 
} 
$starttime = getmicrotime();

$t = time();        
$url = "http://aom.stats.zone.msn.com/AOM_RC0/query/query.aspx";
$q = "<?xml%20version=\"1.0\"?><clr><cmd%20v=\"query\"/>";
$q .= "<co%20g=\"AOM_RC0\"%20s=\"100\"%20z=\"1.0.3\"%20t=\"".$t."\"%20U=\"6\"/>";
$q .= "<qer%20id=\"0\"%20np=\"0\"%20nn=\"20\"%20si=\"0\"%20et=\"ZS_Human\"%20md=\"ZS_Supremacy\"%20rn=\"ZS_TopPlayers\"%20tp=\"ZS_AllTime\"/>";
$q .= "</clr>";
        
$top20 = array();
$rdf = parse_url($url);
$fp = fsockopen($rdf['host'], 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
    echo "Problem loading ESO Stats Data";
    return;
    }
if ($fp) {
    fputs($fp, "GET " . $rdf['path'] . "?" . $q . " HTTP/1.0\r\n");
    fputs($fp, "HOST: " . $rdf['host'] . "\r\n\r\n");
    $string    = "";
    $pagetext = "";
    while(!feof($fp)) {
        $pagetext .= chop(fgetc($fp));
    }
    fputs($fp,"Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
    fclose($fp);
    $string = chop($pagetext);
    $items = explode("\"",$string);
    $lines = count($items);
    $offset = 1;
    for ($i=23;$i<$lines;$i+=12) {
        $top20[$offset]["name"] = $items[$i];
        $top20[$offset]["rank"] = $items[$i+2];
        $top20[$offset]["rating"] = intval($items[$i+6]);
        $offset++;
    }
        ## Hint:  Changing the "6" below to a larger number will increase the number of players displayed.  Max. = 20 ##
    for ($j=1;$j<2;$j++) {
        $rating .= $top20[$j]["rating"];
    }
}
Maybe that better illustrates what Im trying to do. Now, I did NOT by any means write that code. I found it, and modified it to do what I need.

2 things:
1- What extranious things can I remove from that code, so its more streamlined? Can I 86 the microtime stuff?
2- Where in global.php should I put the finished code, so that I can pull $rating and have it show up wherever I put that variable?

Thanks alot for the help guys.

Are you trying to do this every post? This is going to slow you down A LOT I would think. Maybe you should make some sort of script to run once a day to grab the rankings and put them in a user field.

digitalJE5U5 02-12-2003 04:27 AM
That is very good advice. I had not even thought of that. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do any of that.
