Help me with XML and PHP

[Aan Damar]

It has been 3 days since I trying to learn about PHP.
I sleep for 3 hours only a day, I can't sleep till I realizing it.
I absolutely don't know PHP but I want to realized this code.

hopefully there someone who can help me so I can sleep tight tonight.
this is my big problem:

<?php
$request_url = "http://search.4shared.com/network/searchXml.jsp?q='.urlencode($termstring).'&searchExtention=mp3&sortType=1&sortOrder=1&searchmode=3&start=1";
$ch = curl_init();
$timeout = 5;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $request_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) (Prevx 3.0.5)');
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$xml = SimpleXMLElement($data);
$name = $xml->getElementsByTagName('name')->item(0)->nodeValue;
$date = $xml->getElementsByTagName('upload-date')->item(0)->nodeValue;
$altr = $xml->getElementsByTagName('url')->item(0)->nodeValue;
$donlod = $xml->getElementsByTagName('flash-preview-url')->item(0)->nodeValue;
$ukrn = $xml->getElementsByTagName('size')->item(0)->nodeValue;
$oleh = $xml->getElementsByTagName('user')->item(0)->nodeValue;
?>

I want to extract the 4shared xml search result into php.
there is no result yet for it.
I try to implement code for showing result using foreach, but still error.

I hope you can help me.

Thanks!

$request_url = 'http://search.4shared.com/network/searchXml.jsp?q='.urlencode($termstring).'&searchExtention=mp3&sortType=1&sortOrder=1&searchmode=3&start=1';

$arr = json_decode($json,true);
#print_r($arr);
?>

<?php if ($s!='') {
foreach($arr['result-files']['file'] AS $file) {
    echo '<a href="'.$file['flash-preview-url'].'">'.$file['name'].'</a> '.$file['size'].'<br/>';

This is my first code that works with admin help.
I love it and want develop it.
since I'm totally new and has no coding background, I hope admin and all friends in Coding Talk can help me develop it
I plan to adding pagination and player.
I cancel plan to rename the file automatically. It seems server must download the file before it can be renamed.

After implement it, I adding some function to remove not useful characters including _ and mp3.
It seems runs good.
But, I found other problem.
It getting error if there is no result found.

I'm trying to fix it.
I'm looking at 4shared xml file and find the different that is total files = 0

<total-files>0</total-files>

and this is what I've typed:

<?php if ($s!='') {
echo '<table width="100%">';
echo '<tr><th width="60%">Name</th><th>Size</th><th>Download</th></tr>';
$counter = $arr['search-result']['total-files'];
$file = $arr['result-files']['file'];
if ($counter = 0 ) {
echo '<tr><td>Sorry, there is no result</td></tr>';
}
else {
foreach($file AS $files) {
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>'.cleaning(delete_mp3($files['name'])).'</td>';
echo '<td>'.$files['size'].'</td>';
echo '<td><div class="download"><a onclick="window.open (''.$files['flash-preview-url'].'')" href="#" rel="nofollow" href="">Download</a></div></td>';
echo '</tr>';
}
}
echo '</table>';
}
?>

Unfortunately, I still get error when no result found.
admin and all friends in Coding Talk, can you help me please
where is the error and how I can fix it.

thank you very much admin and all friends in Coding talk

ps:
I'm very sorry for my very bad english

[GumSlone]

can you post what type of error you get?

[Aan Damar]

it show message like this sir:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/themes/mp3/search.php on line 56

do you need the login sir?
thanks

[something else]

$file is empty making foreach invalid

[Aan Damar]

$file is empty making foreach invalid

thanks sir.
It very useful, but I still can't implement it.

this 2 kinds code I try to implement, but still see the error

first code I try using empty $file. Still error :D

<?php
$file = $arr['result-files']['file'];
if ($s!='') {
echo '<table width="100%">';
echo '<tr><th width="60%">Name</th><th>Size</th><th>Download</th></tr>';
foreach($file AS $files) {
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>'.cleaning(delete_mp3($files['name'])).'</td>';
echo '<td>'.$files['size'].'</td>';
echo '<td><div class="download"><a href="'. get_settings('home').'/dl?='.base64_encode($files['flash-preview-url']).'" rel="nofollow" href="">Download</a></div></td>';
echo '</tr>';
}
if (empty($file)) {
echo '<tr><td>Zero results</td></tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
}
?>

Second code

<?php
$file = $arr['result-files']['file'];
if ($s!='') {
echo '<table width="100%">';
echo '<tr><th width="60%">Name</th><th>Size</th><th>Download</th></tr>';
if ($file == 0) {
echo '<tr><td>zero results..</td></tr>';
}
else {
foreach($file AS $files) {
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>'.cleaning(delete_mp3($files['name'])).'</td>';
echo '<td>'.$files['size'].'</td>';
echo '<td><div class="download"><a href="'. get_settings('home').'/dl?='.base64_encode($files['flash-preview-url']).'" rel="nofollow" href="">Download</a></div></td>';
echo '</tr>';
}
}
echo '</table>';
}
?>

How I can inform it when there is no result found?
I see total-files is 0 when there is no result found.

http://search.4shared.com/network/searchXml.jsp?q=bon+jovi&searchExtention=mp3&sortType=1&sortOrder=1&searchmode=3&start=1

result

<!--<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>-->
<search-result>
<query>bon jovi</query>
<total-files>0</total-files>
<page-number>1</page-number>
<pages-total>0</pages-total>
<start>1</start>
<files-per-page>10</files-per-page>
<files-approx-count>0</files-approx-count>
</search-result>

May I use this parameter to inform the script if there is no result?
or I must using other parameter?

I'm really confused, but it make me addicted lol

[something else]

i think you need to change this line:
if ($file == 0) {
to something like:
if (count($file) == 0) {
