Movie Listings

[MadTxn]

I just checked the PHP manual, and you need to have version 4.30 or higher for this to work.  Sorry...

You know what?  I'm not sorry.  Upgrade or else.

[fishboy]

Well I believe that the to use the function "file_get_contents" requires version 4.3.0 or higher, so you might want to find out what version you have and have your son upgrade the server it is lower than this version.

EDIT:  Looks like MadTxn is a faster gun slinger than I, beat me to the draw.

My son spoke to the owner of his server and he is unwilling to upgrade or even tell him what version he has.

Is there another command that can replace the get command?

[MadTxn]

Well, changing the command will make the script take longer to run, and will be more memory intensive on the server.  Maybe our fine host would be willing to host the file for a few people.

[joelw135]

That would be nice.

[MadTxn]

Because I'm just a Prime Specimen of Manhood©, and because you've been so nice about it, I edited the script just for you.  Enjoy.

[joelw135]

You are indeed a scholar and a Gentleman.

[joelw135]

Works great, and fast. Thanks again.

[MadTxn]

Not a problem.  Also, for future reference, if you place a file with the following in it:

Code Select Expand


<?php
phpinfo();
?>


it will tell you the PHP version, along with a buttload of other stuff.

If at a later date I want to add another theater, all I would do is add the &theater2=Name&zip2=zip Is that correct?

[MadTxn]

You are correct.

[joelw135]

Ran into a problem. the script would take so long to download the information, that it would not sync TodayPlus. If I did it via wi-fi it would work, but not in the cradle. I removed that rss feed and it would sync fine. Back to the drawing board. Got to find another host.

Anyone know a free PHP host in the USA?


Used your script and found out that the server is running 4.2.2 PHP.

[joelw135]

I think I have found a temporary fix for the movie times refresh problem. What I did was move the movie RSS to the first on the list. This way it gets the hard to sync info first.  I have tried it a few times, and seems to work. I will see later when the net is filled with users.

P.S. It takes around 2 minutes to full refresh. It used to take aprox 30 seconds.

Hi Guys:

Where will this line go in the script? Secondly, I am not getting any details with the downloads. Is there anything I an not doing right?

Thanks.

That line is part of the line you use in the config file to call the server for information.
The example below is what the line would look without a server selected.
You need a host to carry the script, that the line below calls.

http://server name/server directory/listings_rss.php?theater=Regal commerce Center 18&zip1=08824

And of course you must change the theater and the zip to what you want.
