the following problem:
I want to read out, if the firstname is a boy's name or a girl's name...
therefore I've written this code: (which allready works)
------------------ <snap> -------------------
$fp=fopen('http://www.vornamenlexikon.de/main/suchen.asp?kriterium=search&B1
=Suchen&action=searchnow&searchby='.$name,"r");
if($fp){
$daten=fread($fp,100000);
fclose($fp);
$male='/m.gif';
$female='/w.gif';
if((strpos($daten,$female)>0)&&(strpos($daten,$male)>0)){
if(strpos($daten,$male)>strpos($daten,$female))$result='w';
else $result='m';
}else if(strpos($daten,$female)>0)$result='w';
else if(strpos($daten,$male)>0)$result='m';
}
if(empty($result)){
$fp=fopen('http://www.kindername.de/'.strtolower(substr($name,0,1)).'-namen.
htm',"r");
if($fp){
$namen=array();
$daten=fread($fp,100000);
fclose($fp);
$daten=strstr($daten,'<font size="4" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif"><B>VORNAMEN MIT');
for($cnt=0;strpos($daten,'<tr>')>0;$cnt++){
$daten=substr(strstr($daten,'<tr>'),4);
$tag=substr($daten,0,strpos($daten,'</tr>'));
if(strpos($tag,'</td>')>0){
$x1=substr(strstr($tag,'<td>'),4);
while(strpos($x1,' ')>0)$x1=str_replace(' ',' ',$x1);//TAB
while(strpos($x1,' ')>0)$x1=str_replace(' ',' ',$x1);//DBLSPACE
$x1=trim($x1);
for($i=1;strpos($x1,'<td>')>0;$i++){
$field=strtolower(trim(strip_tags(substr($x1,0,strpos($x1,'</td>')))));
if($i==1)$namen[$cnt]=array($field);
else if($i==2)$namen[$cnt]['gender']=trim($field);
else if($i==3){
while(strpos($field,',')>0){
array_push($namen[$cnt],substr($field,0,strpos($field,',')));
$field=substr(strstr($field,','),1);
}
array_push($namen[$cnt],$field);
}else if($i==4){
if(in_array($name,$namen[$cnt]))$result=$namen[$cnt]['gender'];
}
$x1=substr(strstr($x1,'<td>'),4);
} } } } }
------------------ </snap> -------------------
This code works, but I wanted to include another Datebase (Yahoo)
So I included this function:
------------------ <snap> -------------------
$fp=@fopen('http://babynames.pregnancy.yahoo.com/bnfname?n='.$name,"r");
if($fp){
$daten=fread($fp,10000);
fclose($fp);
$male='boy';
$female='girl';
if((strpos($daten,$female)>0)&&(strpos($daten,$male)>0)){
if(strpos($daten,$male)>strpos($daten,$female))$result='w';
else $result='m';
}else if(strpos($daten,$female)>0)$result='w';
else if(strpos($daten,$male)>0)$result='m';
}
------------------ </snap> -------------------
But this code has no effect. It returns only an Error (404)
The reason therefore is, that the targetting URL does'nt
exist:
Try this URL's
http://babynames.pregnancy.yahoo.com/bnfname?n=Patrick
or
http://babynames.pregnancy.yahoo.com/bnfname.htm?n=Patrick
http://babynames.pregnancy.yahoo.com/bnfname.?n=Patrick
http://babynames.pregnancy.yahoo.com/bnfnameBLABLA?n=Patrick
In a Browser its not nessesary to type in the correct Name
"bnfname". So you can add what ever you want, but the result
is the same (it works)
But the problem is, to downloading this file, because then the reason
is an 404-Error (not existing)
Does anybody know an answer to this problem???
How can I download this file anyway... and read out the information
I want?
Thanks,
Tribun (Patrick)
