i manage to understand the basic but how do I come across of grabbing a picture url from one site and upload it on lulz and grabbing picture url and post it on bb codes O.o i'm still clueless

@c0san1j,

For uploading the images to lulzimg, you can try this: http://www.l337fx.com/lulzimgcom-image-uploader-php.html

As for grabbing the image, you'll have to apply an algorithm as in which image you want to grab.

Thanks I understand better but i stumble a bit on preg_match command I read about it and I cant seem how people manage to get the right stuff out weird symbol that make no sense to me

 preg_match('#\[IMG\](.*)\[\/IMG\]#', $data, $matches);

This what I don't understand much #\[IMG\](.*)\[\/IMG\]# what is all the simple telling what to search can you break it down to me explain what those do? like # is and / is and other symbol I manage to learn ^ start line and $ endline ect

preg_match uses "Perl Compatible Regex library" so you have to search for Regex or regular expression in Google to find infos about it. It's a pretty powerful tool, worth to learn.

'#\[IMG\](.*)\[\/IMG\]#' is the search pattern string

# is the delimiter (it's on both sides of the string). You can use modifiers that are placed after the ending delimiter. For example '#\[IMG\](.*)\[\/IMG\]#i' for case-insensitive search (so both IMG and img match the pattern)

\[IMG\] matches the string [/I]. You have to escape [I][[/I] and [I]][/I] by a backslash because normally you use those to match a character set ([I][a-z][/I] matches [I]any letter, [a-zA-z0-9_] any alphanumeric character[/I] [I]and underscore[/I])

. matches any character

* means 0 or more times (if it wouldnt be there, in your case, it would only match a single character, like [I][IMG]a or

...). In the place of * you can also use + for one or more times or {max,min} like {2,10} for min x, max y times.

(.*) parentheses are used to capture a part of a pattern. $matches[0] will contain the whole matching string, $matches[1] the first captured part (between the first pair of parentheses), $matches[2] the second ...

\/ - here the / is also escaped, I don't really know why, I think it would work without it. It should be escaped when the delimiter is not # but /.

 

[deliteblogger]

and yeah, ^ matches starting of a line (or of the whole string, depending on modifiers), $ matches end of line/string.

thank for the help another thing is there a way to test the result of curl?

 

[deliteblogger]

$url='http://www.imdb.com/';

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
$content = curl_exec($ch);
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$content will contain the requested page

http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-exec.php
http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-getinfo.php

 

[c0san1j]

thank you very much sir :D

Note:
It'll take me more time to fix the grabbing error from IMDb.com since I use a pre-made class and until the original owner fixes it, I cannot do much. Till now I've figured out only to fix the 'Genres' data, rest is still to be fixed. So sorry for the delay.

 

[t3od0r]

what you want to fix?
