I have been working to create crowler friendly rss feed for our website. I think it is very easy to build . But when i started coding it i got so many problems with xml and special charcters. I tried program for replacing special characters. But it wont work. Finally i used utf8_encode. It worked
$h=utf8_encode(clean_url($result['name']));
$d=utf8_encode(clean_url($result['discription']));
I have attached PHP Source code for XML Generator
Right click on the above link and save target as …
Below function is used to clean all extra characters in the content.
function clean_url($text)
{
$text=strtolower($text);
$code_entities_match = array(‘>>’,'–’,'�’,'–’,'&’,'“’,'”’,'–’,'’’,'-’,'–’,'”‘,’!',’@',’#',’$',’%',’^',’&’,'*’,'(‘,’)',’_',’+',’{‘,’}',’|',’:',’”‘,’< ‘,’>’,'?’,’[',']‘,’\\’,';’,”‘”,’,',’.',’/',’*',’+',’~',’`',’=',’-',’ï’,'–’,”‘”,’O');
return str_replace($code_entities_match,”, $text);
}
To make an rss feed you need title, description and link
Sample RSS FEED format
<rss version=”0.91″>
<channel>
<title>XML.com</title>
<link>http://www.xml.com/</link>
<description>XML.com features a rich mix of information and services for the XML community.</description>
<language>en-us</language>

xampp server with default configuration can’nt run curl_init();
to make it work in xampp server we have to edit three files namely
1. php.ini(which is a configuration stting file).
2. php.ini-recommended(INI-DIST file)
3. php.ini-dist(INI-RECOMMENDED file)
open these files in notepad and search for ‘curl’ and remove ‘;’ symbol, save and close the files.
Remember to restart your server before running the application.

Doctrine Pagination is made very simple .
public function executeIndex(sfWebRequest $request)
{
$this->pager = new sfDoctrinePager('TableName', sfConfig::get('app_max_jobs_on_homepage');
$this->pager->setQuery(Doctrine::getTable('TableName')->createQuery('a'));
$this->pager->setPage($request->getParameter('page', 1));
$this->pager->init();
}
Success page
<?php foreach ($pager->getResults() as $post): ?><div>
<?php if($post->getTitle()) { echo link_to($post->getTitle(), ‘news/fullstory?expand=’.$post->getId(),’class=”mhead”‘); } ?>
<?php if($post->getDn2()!=”) { echo image_tag($post->getDn2()); } ?>
<?php $content=$post->getContent();
$stripcontent=substr($content,” “,700);
echo $stripcontent;
?>
<div style=”display:block;” > <?php echo $post->getCreatedAt(); ?><?php echo link_to(“Full Story”, ‘news/fullstory?expand=’.$post->getId(),’class=”fullstory”‘) ?> <br /><br />

This is a small article containing tricks and tips I aquired by reading PHP 6 Text Book.
I was used isset() function to check whether these arguements are set or not. And also I need to check this is empty or not.
Here is another function to check both of this requirement at single line.
empty()
It checks if a variable has an empty value: an empty string, 0, NULL,or FALSE.
Example
if ( !empty($_POST[‘name’]) && !empty($_POST[‘comments’]) && !empty($_POST[‘email’]) ) {
echo “Yes”;
}
PHP Personal Home Page now it is Hypertext Pre Processor.
Version : 6 (PHP 6)
Advantages,
- Addition of improved MySql Extension
- PHP 6 support Unicode, so that PHP 6 can handle all languages in the world. I faced lot of problems with ‘Malayalam’ font integration.
- PHP 6 cleans up a lot of garbbages that was left in php 5
- The two biggest removals are the “Magic Quotes” and “register globals” features
Download and Test PHP 6 at http://snaps.php.net/
What is magic Quotes ?
It automatically escapes single quotes or double quotes in form data by inserting a “\” Back slash in front of it. Now this automatic feature called magic Quotes has been removed in PHP6.
Here is a sample class file for image resize.
imageResize.class
Download the File save it in web root and add .php extension to the file .
How to use ?
<?php
require_once(‘imageResize.class.php’); // Path to File
imagejpeg(imageResize::Resize($fileSavePath,$width,$height),$newFileName);
?>
$fileSavePath should be the pathname of source file. Say “uploads/arun.jpg”.
$newFileName this should be the source File name with path. Say “uploads/thumb/arun.jpg”.
Any Doubt ?
