Get Page Source And Seperate Parts Into Variables

[dzhax]

I am working on a stat lookup for a game someone i know is developing.They have made a script that lists each stat information seperated by a comma (,) on a line. Being a new line for each stat. Is there a way in php to read the source of a page and seperate all values within the commas and the enters into an array.Sorta like the split statement in visual basic 6.Ex. Stat Page Source:627956,1263,12143677595955,75,1217048770780,70,759985830886,75,1218084828439,73,10829251840713,51,121556895793,49,93966343289,76,14042931364538,59,249705241171,83,2697608534281,71,838666853349,64,4314691141551,53,142135879664,52,135279313446,60,298509170875,73,1059601859627,30,143851451923,33,20021370131,55,168023-1,-1,-1-1,-1,-1800502,37,30407663862,36,27014243355,52,124984-1,-1,-1-1,-1-1,-1-1,-1-1,-1-1,-1majority of the page has 3 values for each stat except for the last 5 that only have two.a part of the link to the stat lookup that im pulling from is "index_lite.ws?player=ACCOUNT NAME"Thank you in advance for any help.

PHP has an explode() function.

PHP has an explode() function.

yea thats what i tried to use but i cant seem to make it work right...Maybe you can make me an example.This is what i have but i can only extract the first value not any more.

<?php$username = $_GET['username'];   $username = strtolower(str_replace(' ', '_', $username));$website = file_get_contents('http://dzhax.com/index_lite.ws?player=' . $username);$stats = explode("\n", $website);$overall = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[0]));$stat['att'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[1]));$stat['def'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[2]));$stat['str'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[3]));$stat['hp'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[4]));$stat['rng'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[5]));$stat['pry'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[6]));$stat['mag'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[7]));$stat['ck'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[8]));$stat['wc'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[9]));$stat['flt'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[10]));$stat['fsh'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[11]));$stat['fm'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[12]));$stat['cra'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[13]));$stat['smi'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[14]));$stat['min'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[15]));$stat['her'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[16]));$stat['ag'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[17]));$stat['th'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[18]));$stat['sl'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[19]));$stat['frm'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[20]));$stat['rc'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[21]));$stat['hun'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[22]));$stat['cs'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[23]));echo "Attack Exp: " . $stat['att'];?>

the website it is grabbing from is made by me for testing... so any acc name will work.there is no script to get the values its always the same.For further reference the first value is Experience points, the next is stat level, and the third is overall rank.Dont worry about the last 5 dont need them yet.Thank you.

You forgot to declare $stat as an array.

$stat = array();

[dzhax]

You forgot to declare $stat as an array.

$stat = array();

i added that in but nothing changed.how would i just get the experience or level or just the rank.$exp['att'] = array(...$lvl['att'] = array(...$rank['att'] = array(...if i do

$stat['att'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[1],1));echo "Attack Exp: " . $stat['att'];

it displaysAttack Exp: 595990,75,1217075 if i do

$stat['att'] = array_shift(explode(",", $stats[1]));echo "Attack Exp: " . $stat['att'];

it displaysAttack Exp: 595990

Why are you using array_shift for that? It would make more sense to just store the entire exploded line and then access whichever element you want to get the 3 numbers.

I've put this together quickly, is this what you are looking for?<?php$filename = "test.txt";$content = file($filename);$listcount=0;foreach($content as $str){list($p01,$p02,$p03)=explode(",",$str); if($p01 != "") { $array[$listcount]=$p01; $listcount++; }if($p02 != "") { $array[$listcount]=$p02; $listcount++; }if($p03 != "") { $array[$listcount]=$p03; $listcount++; }}$total = count($array);for($i=0;$i<$total;$i++){echo $array[$i]."<br />";}?>

I think you're looking for this:

<?phpdefine('EXP', 0);define('LVL', 1);define('RANK', 2);$username = $_GET['username'];$username = strtolower(str_replace(' ', '_', $username));$website = file_get_contents('http://dzhax.com/index_lite.ws?player=' . $username);$stats = explode("\n", $website);$overall = explode(",", $stats[0]);$stat = array(  'att' => explode(",", $stats[1]),  'def' => explode(",", $stats[2]),  'str' => explode(",", $stats[3]),  'hp' => explode(",", $stats[4]),  'rng' => explode(",", $stats[5]),  'pry' => explode(",", $stats[6]),  'mag' => explode(",", $stats[7]),  'ck' => explode(",", $stats[8]),  'wc' => explode(",", $stats[9]),  'flt' => explode(",", $stats[10]),  'fsh' => explode(",", $stats[11]),  'fm' => explode(",", $stats[12]),  'cra' => explode(",", $stats[13]),  'smi' => explode(",", $stats[14]),  'min' => explode(",", $stats[15]),  'her' => explode(",", $stats[16]),  'ag' => explode(",", $stats[17]),  'th' => explode(",", $stats[18]),  'sl' => explode(",", $stats[19]),  'frm' => explode(",", $stats[20]),  'rc' => explode(",", $stats[21]),  'hun' => explode(",", $stats[22]),  'cs' => explode(",", $stats[23]));print_r($stat);echo "<br><br>Attack Exp: " . $stat['att'][EXP];echo "<br><br>Attack Level: " . $stat['att'][LVL];echo "<br><br>Attack Rank: " . $stat['att'][RANK];?>

Shifting an array is just going to remove and return the first element, but you're looking for all 3 right? So you would just explode each line, you don't need to shift off the first element.

Thanks ill try that. All that i had was working off an example i found. So i had no idea what shift_array ment or did------K i checked it...

print_r($stat);

is that needed? it just printed the array it looked weird. I commented it out and it looked ok. Was that ok?

Yep. I believe justsomeguy put it there just in case you have problems. If you had, you'd tell us what the output was (along with the print_r() output), and it would be easier for us to help.Consider searching the php.net site when you're wondering what a function does.
