Hi,

when you add a link in your Linkedin or facebook it will automatically determine the page title.. and when I say the title I don't mean the mata tag title but the real page title, that's what I have noticed.... so how can i do this using PHP?

Thanks,
Jassim

What do you mean? Something like this?

PHP

<?php
echo "

  <head>
    <title>Insert your title here</title>  
  </head>

";

?>

no.

try to login to your linkedin..

in your wall, click Attach a link and put any link there the you'll see linked has detected the web page title which is most of the times different than the tag title..

same if you go to facebook and type a link in your wall..

for example..

if you you check this URL:

http://x.co/bDHC[^]

The title in the tag is:

Android Hits 200 Million Activations - Mobility - Smartphones - Informationweek

but when I type it in linkedin it will automatically detect the title as:

Android Hits 200 Million Activations

which is the article's title..

I am now sure if <headline> meta tag has anything to do with it because the source of the page shows:

HTML

<meta name="headline" content="Android Hits 200 Million Activations" />

The usual approach would be to look for the first heading tag using preg_match.

You could also look for the <title> tag.

<meta> elements are usually only useful if you're looking at pages where you know that metadata has been added, and know the metadata profile that has been followed.

What these websites do is load the website on the server and parse the received html to extract information such as the title. The probably use cURL in combination with some PREG regex.

I want to add this data in my website as curl.Actually i don't know php very well.I guess we can use file_get_contents().But how we can use it for table html?

You may find using the DOM extension easier http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.dom.php[^]

It will allow you to open a url and assign it to a object. You can then use javascript like functions to pull information from it. Be sure to read the comments in the various sections like the http://www.php.net/manual/en/domdocument.getelementbyid.php[^] and http://www.php.net/manual/en/domdocument.getelementsbytagname.php[^]

hi i write my own mvc framework.
https://github.com/Mr-Moqadam/Artemis-Framework/downloads[^]
i want to use doctrine orm in model layer in mvc pattern.

pleas help me?

sorry for bad English.

Hi. New in python but managed to find my way around. I have a folder named date(i.e 20111011, or 20111101). The script goes and ftps the folder that matches the date passed(python CallTibcoWS.py 20111104). If the folder name matches the date passed then it will copy the folder to a specified location. Now I want to use the same code to copy files. I have another folder(folder name not important), with files. File extensions are dates(i.e name.20111111, surname.20110102, python.20101111). I want to copy all the files that match the date passed when I run the script(python CallTibcoWS.py 20111104).....My code is as below

import os
import datetime
import time
import sys
import subprocess
import paramiko

WSDESCRIPTOR = 'ESSImporter'
LOGFILE = 'C:/Logs/%s/%s_%s.log' % (WSDESCRIPTOR.lower(), WSDESCRIPTOR, datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d"))
TIBCOSERVER = 'GenevaServer'
TIBCOPORT = '7979'
WEBSERVICEADDRESS = "http://%(server)s:%(port)s/ESSImporter/Services/Interface/intfESSImporter-service.serviceagent/intfwsProcess_ESSImporterEndpoint1" % {'server': TIBCOSERVER, 'port': TIBCOPORT, 'ws': WSDESCRIPTOR}

            sftp.close()

            result = True
        else:

Do you want to discuss the code (structure, style, guidlines) or do you have a question about functionality(or the lack of)? For the discussion please state what you'd like to discuss, for the question elaborate on what exactly is not working.

Hi,

I am using this code to have a clean page layout..

I want to know, using my code how can I specify different page title for every page?

here is the code

http://www.rmc.bh/temp/Myfiles.zip

Thanks,
Jassim

take a variable, say $Title, use it in header.php this way

PHP

<?php //if short tag are supported?>
<TITLE><?=$Title?></TITLE>
<?php //if not?>
<TITLE><?php echo $Title?></TITLE>

and in the main pages do like this

main.php

PHP

$Title="Title for Main Page";
require_once("header.php");

I think you know the answer of this question then why posting it...........

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

What's your advise for the page layout? I mean if I have a top header and a bottom footer then left side navigation menu and rest is contents.. should I tables for it?

Thanks,
Jassim

Table is the best solution for fomatted view and make sure all 4 part belongs to 4 different files

It's good to use table tag for your site.............

Thanks & Regards

Thanks everyone Smile | :)

Table is okay but div is recommended because that is what I use for my page layout in all applications I write.

Hi,

Please check this:

http://www.rmc.bh/dept

and the same here http://www.rmc.bh/en/team

why the two boxed on the left (contents) and right (menu) is taking 50% even when I am setting 100% for the content and 200px for the menu?

here is the dept.php:

PHP

<body dir="rtl" lang="ar-bh">

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="10px" border="1">
	<tr><td colspan="2"><?php include("header.php"); ?></td></tr>
	<tr><td colspan="2"><hr></td></tr>
	<tr>
		<td valign="top" width="200px"><?php include("menu.php"); ?></td>
		<td valign="top" width="100%">
			<h2>الأقسام</h2>
		</td>
	</tr>
</table>

and this is the menu.php just in case:
