quick php code help...

[qwe]

I want to put alot of urls into the php file, and once php file gets executed it will redirect to those urls one by one... like if I have 100 urls, once php file loads it will go to first url, then once php file get executed again it will load second url, and so on, then once it reaches the end it will start from the begging ... can someone hook me up please

Here's help. Otherwise, I could make it for you but $$ talks.

Quick and dirty way to do it:

<?
$urls = file('URLS.txt', FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES | FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES)
$url = array_shift($urls);
array_push($urls,$url);
file_put_contents('URLS.txt',implode("\r\n",$urls));

header('Location:'.$url);
?>

Will work. Untested, don't ask for me to fix it if it doesn't kick - pay woj instead.

It helps to completely read what he was looking for.

[HomerSimpson]

array + array_rand - and it's all done...

read the manual...

Care to point out what it doesn't do?
Takes a list of URLS. Each time the script is loaded, it redirects to the next, and so forth.
What did I miss?

I hope you don't call yourself a programmer.

Yup, that would work.
A real solution would be to use a db or even xml file, but quantum-x has a solution that will work quite well

[rowan]

q-x's solution will truncate the url file if the HD runs out of space.

(I know it's a quick and dirty free solution, just pointing out one potential issue.)

Hmm. I don't think so. If the file had XX number of urls and took up XX amount of space at the beginning of the program it would still have xx number of urls and take up xx amount of space at the end. So, if the file fit on the HD before it still does after.

gives me this error

now i get this:

Second Line which is the first line of code needs a ; on the end.

$urls = file('URLS.txt', FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES | FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES);

EDIT: Didn't refresh page and see it had been answered

file_put_contents() is a php5 function.

It's happened to me. ;) When you open a file for write it's first truncated, so if there's something else writing at that time, or the file system allows a truncate but not write when it's chock full, you'll end up with a 0 byte file. For a rotating buffer like this it's probably better to use a pointer and save that in a separate file - at least if that gets trashed then it just starts at 0 again...

Replace the file_put_contents(...) line with this

$fp = fopen('URLS.txt', 'r+');
fwrite($fp, implode("\r\n",$urls))
fclose($fp);

        if(!$fp) {
          trigger_error('file_put_contents cannot write in file.', E_USER_ERROR);
          return;
        }
      fputs($fp, $data);
      fclose($fp);
    }
  }

That should fix your problem. I highly suggest upgrading PHP to 5.x

Hey Killswitch, is the chick in your avatar some random_unverifiable_one_off_chick or from a program?

lol... so it's a BIG list? I think it's time to call on woj. This isn't so simple any more.

nope, urls.txt has 10 urls in it, thats it

Has it grown? I can't think why else PHP would be complaining it's out of memory.

[rowan]

And you can see that free help isn't always so quick... by now you probably could have paid to get a working solution that you didn't have to worry about...

yap, used to be 1kb file, now it's 137kb file with only 1 url in it instead of 10... hrmm

[quantum-x]

Why the fuck are you running PHP4 - In one month's time it will have been discontinued for THREE YEARS.

No wonder shit is breaking ;)

[rowan]

Does each redirect NEED to be sequential? If you do it randomly and there's enough loads (ie enough of a sample) then each URL will receive the same average amount of traffic anyway.

ok I put that before file_put_contents line and it works, but after it redirects to the site it deletes that site from urls.txt file for some reason ?

As with anything when you write to the filesystem. You should be / your host should be monitoring disc space anyhow.

If you're out of space PHP will probaby grind itself to death when attempting to even run

it doesn't have to be, can be random too if it's easier

[rowan]

Far easier.

<?php
$urls = file("URLS.txt", FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES | FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES);
header("HTTP/1.0 302 redirect");
header("Location: " . $urls[(rand(0, count($urls) - 1))]);
?>

header("Location: " . $urls[(rand(0, count($urls) - 1))]);
?>

works like a charm, thanks bro

[rowan]

Damn, I should have left out a semicolon or two and extorted $3.82 from you.

[GrouchyAdmin]

Sweet fucking Christ.

btw, it should not have any issues with big files? or it's limited to like 1-100 urls or so ?

[rowan]

The answer will cost $3.82.

So long as your URL list isn't megs in size it should be fine. If it gets too big then PHP will die with an out of memory error.

I found it on some site, I think it's one of those ex girlfriend site pics that are on every ex gf site.

I put the code on my dev server and ran it, by the looks of it, when putting the first url to the bottom, it's putting enters in there somewhere..

Please send $1.28 to me when he pays you, for keeping my mouth shut. Thanks.

something like this javascript popup

<!--
var how_many_ads = 3;
var now = new Date()
var sec = now.getSeconds()
var ad = sec % how_many_ads;
ad +=1;
if (ad==1) {url="http://www.url1.com/";}
if (ad==2) {url="http://www.url2.com/";}
if (ad==3) {url="http://www.url3.com/";}
rotpop=window.open('','rotpop','toolbar=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,status=0,resizable=1,top=1,left=1,width=790,height=570'); 
rotpop.blur();
rotpop.location=url;
