Call a stored txp:variable inside some raw PHP
Hi again. Can someone please let me know how to call a stored <txp:variable> tag value inside some raw PHP (i.e. inside a <txp:php> container tag)? Cheers!
To replace the Textpattern tag within this…
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.github.com/graphql');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,
array(
'User-Agent: Textpattern CMS',
'Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8',
'Authorization: bearer <txp:variable name="github-api-key" />'
)
);Offline
Re: Call a stored txp:variable inside some raw PHP
This should do it:
$github_key = parse('<txp:variable name="github-api-key" />');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,
array(
'User-Agent: Textpattern CMS',
'Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8',
'Authorization: bearer ' . $github_key
)
);Or you should be able to use the parse() directly in the array if you prefer.

Re: Call a stored txp:variable inside some raw PHP
Thanks Stef! Here’s another puzzle…
As part of the API query, I want to grab two fragments from a custom field.
In the custom field is the full path of the GitHub repo, e.g. https://github.com/philwareham/hive-framework and I need to grab philwareham as organisation and hive-framework as repo for my query. How would one in php grab these fragments per article (obviously different URLs but all following same URL pattern)?

Re: Call a stored txp:variable inside some raw PHP
One way is to use parse_url() to first grab the PHP_URL_PATH then split that at slash:
$parts = explode('/', parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH));That will return three array components:
1) empty (nothing before first slash in path)
2) user name ($parts[1])
3) repo name ($parts[2])
Another way could be to use a regex directly, but it may be less robust.

Great, thanks, I’ll try those code suggestions tomorrow and report back.
