help needed again

[Adamski]

yeh that's gonna be the fun bit

 

I suppose I will have to parse out the the line rates (don't know how yet) and then run a query of some kind to pull the right pages for my products... there will be a way - it's just finding it. I'll let you know how it goes!

[trine]

That should be easy enough to do with a simple preg_match ...

 

for instance:

 

if (preg_match("/exchange is ADSL enabled/",$result)){

then show product signup button

} else {

contact us link

}

[trine]

you can also do that for all the speeds and stuff...

[Adamski]

he he you say easy .. I say eek!

Would that preg match be in the script you did? the broadband checker page or the adsl-availability script?

 

But you are right... I will get onto it! trine you've been a life saver today!

[trine]

yes, easy as E Z !

 

If you need I can write it for you too. just PM

 

the match matches that the location (zip or phone) is broadband enabled, and is serviceable.

[othellotech]

i'm thinking more on the lines of parsing the xml result from the actual checker called by curl and "limiting" the users choices of options based on that - no point allowing a signup for 8mb if they an only get 2mb - so *probably* instead of fidling with whmcs and the sh!teytemplate system, having our checker allow a selection from valid products only, and a xref table to get the WHMCS links for each product ...

[Adamski]

mmm interesting...

[trine]

Rob, absolutely! that can be done, you just need to define all the speed scenarios which are returned in the xml results. As before, you just match them, or store them in a variable and use case to show exactly which products can be signed up for by a user.

[Adamski]

Well I started to get too frustrated with making sure I had every variable covered so I'm just going for a quick yes/no solution but I'm stuck.

 

$s_response .= fgets($fsock, 128);

       $pos = strpos($s_response, "Your Exchange is ADSL enabled");

       if ($pos = true)

      { echo "<p class='text'>",
      "[img][/img]", "
","Your Exchange is ADSL enabled and you can receive onestopdigital broadband". "
","[url='broadband.php']Visit out Broadband Pages[/url] for more information.","</p>";

      break;


      }

  		else


  	{	 echo "No Such Luck"; break;
   }

   } 

 

However the else section doesn't kick in. I think i'm not using the if ($pos = true) properly but I'm a bit stuck now as to how to get it working. I think the code shows what I want to happen.

 

Thanks for any pointers,

[Adamski]

This was solved by taking the if else statement outside of the while statement

 

Adam

[trine]

Adam, are you trying to re-query the result to do that?

 

you could use the result returned with the code I wrote instead. no need to query twice.

[Adamski]

No only what is echo'd is ouput. It does it's stuff before then.

[trine]

ok, but aren't you trying to match the same output? looks like it to me.

 

>> $pos = strpos($s_response, "Your Exchange is ADSL enabled");

 

and before that you connect again:

 

>> $s_response .= fgets($fsock, 128);

 

instead, you could just do:

 

$pos = strpos($result, "Your Exchange is ADSL enabled");

if ($pos = true){ do stuff }

else { do something else }

 

That will avoid connecting again and make it slightly faster!

[Adamski]

You couldn't as you can't have if ($pos = true) when using strpos it needs to be ===false or an integer match ?

 

I need to have $s_response .= fgets($fsock, 128); otherwise nowhere do I set what the s_response string is. If I take that out strpos is checking against nothing?

 

Is what I thought anwyay

 

Adam

[trine]

Adam, the string you are testing is the exact same string as returned by the script I wrote...is it not?

If it is, then just use $result, in lieu of $s_response.

[Adamski]

Yes but your script only deals with the information posted to the page and not the ajax. This way the result is parsed before being returned by either script.

 

Also $result must take its information from $s_response as it returns my custom messages as it is rather than a default response.

 

I don't admit to understanding everything but I know it works

[trine]

okay, now I see what you are doing, but that way you are actually connecting twice.

[Adamski]

I am? How? And there was me happy I had it cracked
