How to insert variables from one PHP file into different pages of the site?

Question

Arduino

There is a set of texts for a ten-page site, I want to edit them in one place, and not jump through page templates. To do this, apparently you need to make a PHP file with something like this?

<?php
    $index_1 = 'Some text 1';
    $index_2 = 'Some text 2';
    $page_1 = 'Text1';
    $page_2 = 'Text2';
?>

Are there any errors here and how then to load it from the file on each necessary page and display it? Thank you.

Answer 1

1. Retrieve the page with file_get_contents or curl
2. Here is a list of XML parsers for PHP .
Unfortunately, I don’t know anything about them (I’ve never written anything similar in PHP, I myself would choose python and lxml for this task), but one of them definitely knows how to parse html :)
In general, you could make one more page, and give the necessary data there in json, it is much easier to parse it.
json_decode - and you have a ready-made object / array (optional) with the necessary data.

Answer 2

Curl and the whole problem was solved... is it really necessary to download some cool parser for such nonsense... max 30 lines of code.

Answer 4

nokogiri is a cool parser. One of the only ones that can parse bad HTML. Although you don't need it. Take any parser!

Answer 5

For such a page, pure php with regular expressions is enough ...
One of the examples:

$page = file_get_contents('http://192.168.11.161');
preg_match_all('!(((\w+ )?\w+) \([A-Z%]\)): ([0-9.]+)!', $page, $matches);

$title = $matches[1];
$value = $matches[4];
$result = array_combine($title, $value);


echo '<pre>';
print_r($result);
echo '</pre>';

If you need it in some other form, then it’s enough to play around with the regular expression and process the keys / values ​​as it should ...
