[PHP] Number of habbos online [PHP]

[parky1306]

Anyone got the code so that i can put it into a PHP file?

I used to use this on my site in the html source

<script src="http://www.habboring.com/online/uk.php" type="text/javascript"></script>

But now HabboRing has shut down, so i cant use that anymore

So i just want to do something similar in html format in my page like the below

<script src="/LINK HERE.php" type="text/javascript"></script>

Any help is appreciated

<?php
$hotel = $_GET["hotel"]; // abbrev.. co.uk, com, ca.

$data = @file_get_contents("http://www.habbo.{$hotel}");

if(!$data) {
exit("Could not grab data.");
}

$pattern = '<span class="stats-fig">';
$pattern .= '(\\d+)';
$pattern .= '(<\\/span>)';

preg_match_all ("/{$pattern}/is", $data, $matches);

$habbos = $matches[0][0];

if(empty($habbos)) {
exit("Could not grab data.");
}

echo "There are {$habbos} Habbos online.";


There's the source for how to do it.

Caleb: Why match more than you have to? You don't. The regular expression


#<span class="stats-fig">(\d+)</span>#
Does quite nicely and is more effecient than yours. Plus he only wants the habbo's online so you don't need to preg_match_all, in conjunction with yours:


<?php

$hotel = $_GET["hotel"]; // abbrev.. co.uk, com, ca.

$data = @file_get_contents("http://www.habbo.{$_GET["hotel"]}");

if(!$data) {
exit("Could not grab data.");
}

preg_match('#<span class="stats-fig">(\d+)</span>#i', $data, $matches);

$habbos = $matches[1];

if(empty($habbos)) {
exit("Could not grab data.");
}

echo "There are {$habbos} Habbos online.";

[Agnostic Bear]

why not just use this, seeming as you put all these checks in place but forgot the single most important one: is something actually entered as the url? you might as well just ditch all the checks together.



preg_match( '#<span class="stats-fig">(\d+)</span>#i', @file_get_contents( 'http://habbo.' . $_GET[ 'tld' ] ), $matches );
echo $matches[1];

[Protege]

omg anova variation!!!


echo ( preg_match( '#<span class="stats-fig">(\d+)</span>#i', @file_get_contents( 'http://habbo.' . $_GET[ 'tld' ] ), $matches ) ) ? end( $matches ) : 'Error' ;

I liked how you ****** it up, I was matching the exact same thing you did, except I was splitting it up to see how it was done. (span, integer, span).

You also messed up the abbreviations, since you wanted to be so "smart" and put {$_GET["hotel"]} right along in the string there, you left the $hotel at the top.

[Dentafrice]

Also Iszak, if you want to argue efficiency, my pattern is quite more efficient with preg_match_all then your pattern is with preg_match.

Yep, mines definitely faster just check the speed of these

http://www.iszak.net/benchmark/bench_iszak.php
http://www.iszak.net/benchmark/bench_caleb.php

and if you think I'm 'rigging' it with the source view it.

http://www.iszak.net/benchmark/bench_caleb.php?highlight=true

The results speak for themselves, you may need to refresh each one to get a more accurate result. Also with mine you don't need the insensitive flag that was accidently added to the code. But I added it to make it fair. Here are some results I got.

Mmm... Sweet taste of victory.
BEEYAH!

[Blinger1]

whats wrong with this way?

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 187);">
<?php
$hotel = file_get_contents("http://www.habbo.co.uk/");

$start = explode('<span class="stats-fig">', $hotel, 2);
$end = explode('</span>', $start[1], 2);
$habbo = trim($end[0]);

echo("Habbos online: $habbo");
?>

[Iszak]

There's nothing wrong with that way, I was just proving Caleb wrong that's all.

[Blinger1]

oh right!!
Well, he sent me a pm (the OP) the other day asking for the code i posted which was an updated version of the one that was posted in the tutorials section.

[Dentafrice]

We're not doing it 1000 times, or 100 times.. we're doing it one time. And when it comes down to it, my way (one time) if faster then your way.

When it comes to doing it once, my way is faster.

[Cushioned]

I'm confused as to how yours is faster?

Refresh more then once.

I'll look at it later, I'm not feeling good/good enough mood to care at the moment.

[Source]

I was showing yours was faster ^_^

[Iszak]

Your testing has too many variables Caleb and thus has a less accurate result, check out mine (revised because you said "When it comes to doing it once, my way is faster.") still is faster :)

0.00012993812561 - Caleb
0.0000379085540771 - Mine

Edit: Same links by the way, for those who want to check it out.

[Cushioned]

Lol. I refresh and yours it faster.

Then I refresh again and his is faster.

And it just goes back and forth again and again. :rolleyes:

[kk.]

tbh, i dont care about which is faster, theyre both pretty fast it makes them near negligible

but anyway:

You are kinda contradicting yourself here..

Refresh more then once to get a accurate average of times.

That's totally different then doing them in a loop, and recording the time.

Anyways, I'm done here for now.

[kk.]

no but you were saying that youre not going to do it more than once, (which meant that iszak's was faster, but you claimed yours was), but then you said refresh it to get a good average (which makes yours better, when you said iszaks was better)

[Protege]

oh drama, who gives a **** - they both work and are both reasonably fast.
