Picture Grabber

I need to fix this code so that it matches myspace.com new path for the default images.

This is my code (which was working fine, until myspace changed the path):

<?php

class socket
{
	function GetFromMyspace($friend_id)
	{
		$full_file_path = MYSPACE_PROFILE_PATH.$friend_id;

		$handle = fopen($full_file_path,"r");
		if (!$handle)
		{
    		echo "<p>Unable to open remote file.\n";
    		$arr = 0;
		}
		else
		{
			$timeout = 300;
			//$old = ini_set('default_socket_timeout', $timeout);
			//	ini_set('default_socket_timeout', $old);
			//stream_set_timeout($handle, $timeout);
			//stream_set_blocking($handle, 0);
			//	set_time_limit(120);
			ini_set('max_execution_time','120');
			set_time_limit(120);
			ini_set('default_socket_timeout','120');
			while($contents = fread($handle,'1024'))
			{
				$buff .= $contents;
			}

			//echo "buff--> = ".$buff."--------->";

			preg_match("/<a id=\"ctl00_Main_ctl00_UserBasicInformation1_hlDefaultImage\" href=\"http:\/\/viewmorepics.myspace.com\/index\.cfm\?fuseaction=user\..*?friendID=$friend_id\">.*?<img src=\"(.*?)\"><\/a\>/is",$buff,$match);

			$string_ahref = $match[0];
			//echo "string = ".$string_ahref;


			$substr = substr($string_ahref,0,350);

			$trimed = strip_tags($substr,"<img>");
			$trimed = trim($trimed);
			//echo "strip".$trimed;

			$len = strlen($trimed);
			//echo "length".$len."<br>";
			$image_name = substr($trimed,10,($len-25));
			//echo "<br><br>imname= '".$image_name."'<br>";

			preg_match("/<span class=\"nametext\".*>?<\/span>/is",$buff,$match_name);

			//echo "name= ".$match_name[0];

			if(empty($image_name))
			{
				$img_name = substr($match_name[0],100,600);
				$img  = strip_tags($img_name,"<img>");

				//echo "strip-->".$img."<--";
				$img = trim($img);


				$len = strlen($img);
				//echo "length".$len."<br>";

				$image_name = substr($img,10,($len-25));

				$image_name = trim($image_name);
				//echo "ooo".$img."000";
				//echo "Image = ->".$image_name."<--";
			}

			//echo "<br><br>imname= '".$image_name."'<br>";

			if(substr($image_name,0,10)=="<img src=\"")
			{
				$third_name = substr($image_name,10,strlen($image_name));
				//echo "third = ".$third_name;
				$image_name = $third_name;
			}

			//echo "<br><br>imname= '".$image_name."'<br>";
			$subname    = substr($match_name[0],0,200);
			$name       = strip_tags($subname,"<span>");
			$name = trim($name);

			$len_name   = strlen($name);
		//	echo $len_name;
			$name_final = substr($name,23,($len_name-30));

			$arr = array("name"=>$name_final,"imagepath"=>$image_name);

			//exit();
		}
		fclose($handle);
		ini_restore('max_execution_time');
		ini_restore('default_socket_timeout');
		return $arr;

	}
}

whats wrong to the code?

 

The path for the images doesnt match with the new path that myspace has. Lets says this image is to be displayed:
http://a265.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/83/m_3183930615f5bf01bb36bed4d003cdb0.jpg

But the code thrwos this
http://a265.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/83/m_3183930615f5bf01bb36bed4d

 

Please give an example $friend_id for us to test

 

Here is an id for example:
120619749

 

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=120619749

 

is that the image that you are trying to get?
if yes why the whole script. why dont you just scrape off the image link and download the image?

 

Yeah, but this is my site pimpmyadds.com
Enter the id where it says enter id here. Then click enter. Then you should see the default picture on that persons profile. But the picture is not there. Then when you click on view page source, you will see that the image source doesnt match with the picture on that ids profile.

 

do you want me to work on a code for you?

 

You are working with the function substr, which takes a part of the string. Making the number longer will create a longer substring.

What happens if you change this line (almost at the end)
$name_final = substr($name,23,($len_name-30));
to
$name_final = substr($name,23,($len_name-30)+11);

and when you done that and you get the right url, try
$name_final = substr($name,23,($len_name-30)+10);

if it now ends with .jp and not .jpg, it means
$len_name-30 is wrong, either 30 should be less or $len_name should be 11 longer. Etc...

 

Well, this is what some person that has the same script told me:
"you will need to edit the path
alter it so it fits the correct path
of myspace default picture path"

I'm assuming all the code needs is to edit some lines.

 

Tried it and it gives me same source.

 

I Fixed this. Customer happy.

 

Are they still happy today? MySpace tweaked their page yet again and the code above won't work.

 

The above code isn't working anyways. I have written new code for the customer. I wouldn't post it here.
