Comment on Twitter Trends with PHP cURL & JSON by Tim Brockman

The code will work but the url has to be updated from:
http://search.twitter.com/trends/daily.json

to:
http://api.twitter.com/1/trends/daily.json

I’ll update it. Cheers

Hello,

I see this code is older, but wondering if it’s still working with Twitter’s API?

I am pulling hashtags and wanted to add to it for popular trends, but I get an error where it builds the array.

Warning: array_keys() [function.array-keys]: The first argument should be an array in /home/rightwee/public_html/index.php on line 91

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Comment on Leads from remote sites to vtiger CRM Webforms using cURL by Tim Brockman

no validation and no form.. you do that based on your needs and configuration. This just sends the results to vtiger’s Webforms. Keep in mind vtiger will also validate incoming new entrees.

Well this is completely false, Michael hasn’t even died. I know Mike Jackson cause I met him about four months ago and he’s a sweet man, he’s homosexual but he’s nice and I love him very much. He is definitely not an alien, only jealious fucks as yourselves make bs up like this, you’re all going to hell.

If it gives you an error about undefined curl_init() then, most likely curl support is not enabled.

It should be there but, some web servers may disable it to prevent the big scrapes. You can check by creating a .php file with a phpinfo(); command in it.

If it is regularly scheduled archiving and premashing or whatever you can run lampp on an old craptops to keep things compartmentalized. Then use that to feed the live servers. This way your live serverS just serve, and if they crash or get bl’d you aren’t f00kd. Sorry, this is a bit off the original easy exercise in curl/json topic.

nice, but for easier, we can use like this

$rand = mt_rand(0, 9);

echo $response->trends[$rand]->name;

with above function we can get random trends :D

Hey Mitch! Good to hear from you.. hope that the twitter comments help and life in Bemidji is good. I’ll be there sometime this Summer. We should have coffee or something.

Feel free by all means. However if you’re just starting, you will be better served by picking up some HTML5 and a programming language book/tutorial and working your way through it first. The Twitter application programming interface is likely to change more in the future. The time you invest in more fundamental skills, will pay off better long term. The book HTML5 for Web Designers looks promising. If you have a specific help request let me know.
cheers,
tim

hey tim. saw your comment about the shuttle rumbling your underpinnings this morning. how’s life down in the big disney swamp? i lived in miami for a couple years, but am back in little b-town again.
we put a twitterbox in stub’s cornerbarbemidji.com that we built, but he never uses it. we just embedded their crap into our page and it feeds. i don’t like their skin though. i’d like to customize it a bit. i’m going to play with your version..in good health. peace, M

Please check the patched selenium-server.jar. It seems to be corrupted.

Sorry about that, it should be fixed…
Wordpress has these nice filter functions built in to display straight quotes as curly quotes.
Thanks for calling that to my attention.
