Hi all,
With the working code below I;m trying to setup a results section that would output a soccer teams results eg.Everton have won 12, drawn 4, and lost 5 games to date.
The Position option works fine but I;m not sure how to integrate the additional function within the code?
[php]
.red {color: red}
Table
<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST" ){
$tablesPage = "http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/tables";
$resultsPage = "http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/results"; // I need this to output results data as in the tables option
if(!empty($_POST["team"])){
$teamData= getTeamData($_POST["team"] , $tablesPage);
if(!empty($_POST["data"]) && $_POST["data"] == "position"){
echo getPosition($teamData);
}
}
}
function getPosition($teamData){
return "Team ". $teamData["team"] ." are currently number " . $teamData["position"] . " in the league ";
}
function getTeamData($team, $tablesPage){
$html = new DOMDocument();
@$html->loadHtmlFile($tablesPage);
@$xpath = new DOMXPath($html); /
$items = $xpath->query('//td/a[text()="' . $team . '"]/../..');
$values[] = array();
foreach($items as $node){
foreach($node->childNodes as $child) {
if($child->nodeType == 1) array_push($values, $child->nodeValue);
}
}
$values[2] = substr($values[2], -1);
$values = array_slice( $values, 2, count($values)-4);
$keys = array("position", "team", "played", "won", "drew", "lost", "for", "against", "difference", "points");
return array_combine($keys, $values);
}
?>
Select a team and a data item about that team
Everton
Chelsea
Southampton
Liverpool
Arsenal
position
results
[/php]
