Can't include php code into the form

Jaro · 2006-05-02 18:27:19

Hi guys,

being a php illiterate I’m having problems with simple including a php code into the form.

I created a new form (misc) and this is what I’m trying to input there:

function tla_ads() {

// Number of seconds before connection to XML times out // (This can be left the way it is) $CONNECTION_TIMEOUT = 10;

// Local file to store XML // This file MUST be writable by web server // You should create a blank file and CHMOD it to 666 $LOCAL_XML_FILENAME = “local_222334.xml”;

if( !file_exists($LOCAL_XML_FILENAME) ) die(“Text Link Ads script error: $LOCAL_XML_FILENAME does not exist. Please create a blank file named $LOCAL_XML_FILENAME.”); if( !is_writable($LOCAL_XML_FILENAME) ) die(“Text Link Ads script error: $LOCAL_XML_FILENAME is not writable. Please set write permissions on $LOCAL_XML_FILENAME.”);

if( filemtime($LOCAL_XML_FILENAME) < (time() – 3600) || filesize($LOCAL_XML_FILENAME) < 20) { tla_updateLocalXML(“http://www.text-link-ads.com/xml.php?inventory_key=016×5FPHK4XXXXXXX&referer=” . urlencode($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’]) . “&user_agent=” . urlencode($_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’]), $LOCAL_XML_FILENAME, $CONNECTION_TIMEOUT); }

$xml = tla_getLocalXML($LOCAL_XML_FILENAME);

$arr_xml = tla_decodeXML($xml);

if ( is_array($arr_xml) ) { echo “<table style=‘border: 1px solid #000000; border-spacing: 0px; background-color: #F0F0F0;’ cellpadding=‘5’ cellspacing=‘0’><tbody>”;

$columns = 1; for ($i = 0; $i < count($arr_xml[‘URL’]);) { echo “<tr>”; for ($j = 0; $j < $columns; $j++) { if ($arr_xml[‘URL’][$i]) { echo “<td><span style=‘font-size:12px; color:#000000;’>”.$arr_xml[‘BeforeText’][$i].” <a href=’”.$arr_xml[‘URL’][$i].”’ style=‘font-size:12px; color:#000000’>”.$arr_xml[‘Text’][$i].”</a> “.$arr_xml[‘AfterText’][$i].”</span></td>”; } else { echo “<td> </td>”; } $i++; } echo “</tr>”; }

echo “</tbody></table>”; }

}

function tla_updateLocalXML($url, $file, $time_out)
{ $xml = file_get_contents_tla($url, $time_out); $xml = substr($xml, strpos($xml,’<?’));

if ($handle = fopen($file, “w”)) { fwrite($handle, $xml); fclose($handle); }

}

function tla_getLocalXML($file)
{ if($handle = fopen($file, “r”)){ $contents = fread($handle, filesize($file)+1); fclose($handle); } return $contents;
}

function file_get_contents_tla($url, $time_out)
{ $url = parse_url($url);

if ($handle = @fsockopen ($url[“host”], 80)) { if(function_exists(socket_set_timeout)) { socket_set_timeout($handle,$time_out,0); } else if(function_exists(stream_set_timeout)) { stream_set_timeout($handle,$time_out,0); }

fwrite ($handle, “GET $url[path]?$url[query] HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: $url[host]\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n”); while (!feof($handle)) { $string .= @fread($handle, 40960); } fclose($handle); }

return $string;
}

function tla_decodeXML($xmlstg)
{

if( !function_exists(‘html_entity_decode’) ){ function html_entity_decode($string) { // replace numeric entities $string = preg_replace(‘~&#x([0-9a-f]+);~ei’, ‘chr(hexdec(“\1”))’, $string); $string = preg_replace(‘~&#([0-9]+);~e’, ‘chr(\1)’, $string); // replace literal entities $trans_tbl = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES); $trans_tbl = array_flip($trans_tbl); return strtr($string, $trans_tbl); } }

$out = “”; $retarr = “”;

preg_match_all (“/<(.?)>(.?)</”, $xmlstg, $out, PREG_SET_ORDER); $search_ar = array(‘<’, ‘>’, ‘”’); $replace_ar = array(‘<’, ‘>’, ‘”’); $n = 0; while (isset($out[$n])) { $retarr[$out[$n]¹][] = str_replace($search_ar, $replace_ar,html_entity_decode(strip_tags($out[$n]⁰))); $n++; } return $retarr;
}

tla_ads();

</txp:php>

When I try to save the form I get 503 error (Service Temporarily Unavailable). I have enabled using php on txp pages and in articles under admin – settings – advanced settings. I also checked the faq but didn’t really figure out what I’m doing wrong. Can anyone help me out here?

Though the error message is different, it’s probably caused by this issue.

For a large chunk of code like that, you’d be better off making a plugin. Or you could store the code in a file and include it – see the FAQ.

Thanks for the reply, Alex. I’ll try including the file.

Including file works perfect. Thanks again.
