Hello,
I'm hoping if someone could help me with this, I don't think it's to complicated but I'm still having some problems.
I have the following code which takes the keywords 'oxford' and 'oxfordshire' for $query and ultimately searches for items with these words in on eBay(UK). I have another copy of this file which searches for another location, and an output.php file which displays the results. At the moment this code works perfectly, but what I would like to do is have it take the child elements 'name' and 'region' from a config.xml file instead of hard coding the keywords in. I hope this makes sense.
PHP -
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL); // Turn on all errors, warnings, and notices for easier debugging
// API request variables
$endpoint = 'http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1'; // URL to call
$query = 'oxford, oxfordshire'; // Supply your own query keywords as needed
// Create a PHP array of the item filters you want to use in your request
$filterarray =
array(
array(
'name' => 'MaxPrice',
'value' => '25',
'paramName' => 'Currency',
'paramValue' => 'GBP'),
array(
'name' => 'FreeShippingOnly',
'value' => 'true',
'paramName' => '',
'paramValue' => ''),
array(
'name' => 'ListingType',
'value' => array('AuctionWithBIN','FixedPrice','StoreInventory'),
'paramName' => '',
'paramValue' => ''),
);
// Generates an XML snippet from the array of item filters
function buildXMLFilter ($filterarray) {
global $xmlfilter;
// Iterate through each filter in the array
foreach ($filterarray as $itemfilter) {
$xmlfilter .= "<itemFilter>\n";
// Iterate through each key in the filter
foreach($itemfilter as $key => $value) {
if(is_array($value)) {
// If value is an array, iterate through each array value
foreach($value as $arrayval) {
$xmlfilter .= " <$key>$arrayval</$key>\n";
}
}
else {
if($value != "") {
$xmlfilter .= " <$key>$value</$key>\n";
}
}
}
$xmlfilter .= "</itemFilter>\n";
}
return "$xmlfilter";
} // End of buildXMLFilter function
// Build the item filter XML code
buildXMLFilter($filterarray);
// Construct the findItemsByKeywords POST call
// Load the call and capture the response returned by the eBay API
// the constructCallAndGetResponse function is defined below
$resp = simplexml_load_string(constructPostCallAndGetResponse($endpoint, $query, $xmlfilter));
// Check to see if the call was successful, else print an error
if ($resp->ack == "Success") {
$results = ''; // Initialize the $results variable
// Parse the desired information from the response
foreach($resp->searchResult->item as $item) {
$pic = $item->galleryURL;
$link = $item->viewItemURL;
$title = $item->title;
// Build the desired HTML code for each searchResult.item node and append it to $results
$results .= "<tr><td><img src=\"$pic\"></td><td><a href=\"$link\">$title</a></td></tr>";
}
}
else { // If the response does not indicate 'Success,' print an error
$results = "<h3>Oops! The request was not successful. Make sure you are using a valid ";
$results .= "AppID for the Production environment.</h3>";
}
?>
