imdb integration

[lebanon]

Hi again , and thanks to Logician and his great suggestion of the ob_start ,
ob_start();
include("mycode.php");
$my_code = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
Except that it didnt work exactly as the $name variable wouldnt pass
so i finally did the include line replaced with the line below :
include "http://www.tchatting.com/forum/imdb.php?mid=".$mid."&xm=".$xm;

now the pages do load , and the form to post works as well , i still have a minor issue am going to solve by today which is trimming white spaces.
As for example : when searching for "the end" will make the url go like : "the+end" and that will break the eval code which logician templates use .
From the form i will trim the white spaces as i noticed that searching for "theend" does return the same results , although i do find this a bit annoying as am afraid some movies will not return a search result if it didnt find it in IMDB without the spaces.
IF there is a way to leave the + without affecting the eval parse error in Logician templates it will be nice , if not i will use the removal of white spaces from the initial form poster.
I will update u with results anyway.

Hi again !
Finally its working ...
I wasted a bit of time trying to trim the user search movie input before its sent to the url then i was like i said wasting my time , i just did it through Logician templates ( thanks again to logician where his hack made this possible )
I used str_replace to the string above to eliminate the white spaces in the line , then i have now a working demo

Thanks again for the help logician , your tips made it possible !
I'll attach the files related to this later on here depending on which section is suitable or if anyone is interested anyway !

That looks excellent!

Nice work

I wouldnt mind knowing how you got it to work. I got a lot of positive feedback when I added just a IMDB VBA portal, so Im sure people would love this.

Ok where should i post this in which section ?
As i dont have the right to call it my hack , i wouldnt have done it except for logician templates , so maybe a logician templates " imdb templates addon?"

I guess you could post it here in beta or in Full releases.

I would also ask logician if it would be ok if you can call it a 'add on' or to just make a mention that you first have to use his hack in order to have this one work.

KevinL thanks for the advice , i just sent him a prvt msg and waiting his reply
Am writing a readme file on how to install this , except that i added manual entries in the files users will have to change manually and not only a config file.
