One very helpful member – Cleo Collins – noticed that Linden Labs had changed the format of the search result page, breaking our Group Name Grabber service in the process. She’s donated a revised version of it, which is now live on our server.
You can see Cleo’s code after the break.
For how to use it, see the original post
<?php // Changed by Cleo Collins to the latest LL changes. The groupname is now directly in the title tag of the page.. I inserted coments starting with Cleo where i think it needs to be changed. If the groupname service could be repaired,, it would be really great. Thanks for helping! /* * * Group Name Grabber PHP script - By Hippyjim Starbrook * * usage: * * send a GET request with ?ky= the group key to get the name of a group with the given key * if the request is malformed, or the key doesn't exist, returns X * */ $groupKey = $_GET["ky"]; // create a new cURL resource $ch = curl_init(); // set URL and other appropriate options curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://world.secondlife.com/group/".$groupKey); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // grab URL and pass it to the browser $dump = curl_exec($ch); // close cURL resource, and free up system resources curl_close($ch); // remove all HTML tags from the result, except the <h1> tags (which will surround our group name) // Cleo: Not needed anymore, the group name can now be found directly in the <title> tags //$dump = strip_tags($dump, "<h1>"); // if the reply doesn't include the phrase "The specified key does not exist" take the page apart // Cleo: now seems to be "AccessDenied" instead if (!strpos($dump, "AccessDenied")) { // find the position of the phrase "Group:" in the page, as that shows the start of our group name // Cleo: we now just look for <title> $groupPos = strpos($dump, "<title>")+ 7; // find the closing </h1> tag immediately after "Group:" as that signifies the end of our group name // Cleo: well, again we just search for </title> $endPos = strpos($dump, "</title>", $groupPos); // our group name is the string in between these two points $groupName = trim(substr($dump, $groupPos, $endPos-$groupPos)); // output the group name echo $groupName; } // otherwise output an X else { echo "X"; } |
