POSimplify a piece of php code, too many repetitions
text
Body
copied!<p>Cant really figure out how to simplify this. What i want is to get contents of these few pages and display them on my site. Is the right way just to repeat the file_get_contents for every page i want or can i do this in another way (maybe all the web sites in one file_get_contents function ?). Also, the rest of the code just repeats its self. I this the whole code just slows down my web site a lot. If somebody is willing to lend a hand :) in this, thank you so much. </p> <pre><code><?php //Obtain Quote Info - This collects the Microsoft Stock Info $quote10 = file_get_contents('http://finance.google.com/finance/info?client=ig&q=NYSE:GLD'); $quote9 = file_get_contents('http://finance.google.com/finance/info?client=ig&q=INDEXEURO:PX1'); $quote8 = file_get_contents('http://finance.google.com/finance/info?client=ig&q=INDEXDJSTOXX:SX5E'); $quote7 = file_get_contents('http://finance.google.com/finance/info?client=ig&q=INDEXFTSE:UKX'); $quote4 = file_get_contents('http://finance.google.com/finance/info?client=ig&q=INDEXNIKKEI:NI225'); $quote5 = file_get_contents('http://finance.google.com/finance/info?client=ig&q=SHA:000001'); $quote4 = file_get_contents('http://finance.google.com/finance/info?client=ig&q=INDEXDJX:.DJI'); $quote3 = file_get_contents('http://finance.google.com/finance/info?client=ig&q=INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC'); $quote2 = file_get_contents('http://finance.google.com/finance/info?client=ig&q=INDEXSP:.INX'); $quote = file_get_contents('http://finance.google.com/finance/info?client=ig&q=NASDAQ:GOOG'); $quote1 = file_get_contents('http://finance.google.com/finance/info?client=ig&q=NASDAQ:YHOO'); //Remove CR's from ouput - make it one line $json = str_replace("\n", "", $quote); $json1 = str_replace("\n", "", $quote1); $json2 = str_replace("\n", "", $quote2); $json3 = str_replace("\n", "", $quote3); $json4 = str_replace("\n", "", $quote4); $json5 = str_replace("\n", "", $quote5); $json6 = str_replace("\n", "", $quote6); $json7 = str_replace("\n", "", $quote7); $json8 = str_replace("\n", "", $quote8); $json9 = str_replace("\n", "", $quote9); $json10 = str_replace("\n", "", $quote10); //echo $json['45']; //Remove //, [ and ] to build qualified string $data = substr($json, 4, strlen($json) -5); $data1 = substr($json1, 4, strlen($json1) -5); $data2 = substr($json2, 4, strlen($json2) -5); $data3 = substr($json3, 4, strlen($json3) -5); $data4 = substr($json4, 4, strlen($json4) -5); $data5 = substr($json5, 4, strlen($json5) -5); $data6 = substr($json6, 4, strlen($json6) -5); $data7 = substr($json7, 4, strlen($json7) -5); $data8 = substr($json8, 4, strlen($json8) -5); $data9 = substr($json9, 4, strlen($json9) -5); $data10 = substr($json10, 4, strlen($json10) -5); //decode JSON data $json_output = json_decode($data, true); $json_output1 = json_decode($data1, true); $json_output2 = json_decode($data2, true); $json_output3 = json_decode($data3, true); $json_output4 = json_decode($data4, true); $json_output5 = json_decode($data5, true); $json_output6 = json_decode($data6, true); $json_output7 = json_decode($data7, true); $json_output8 = json_decode($data8, true); $json_output9 = json_decode($data9, true); $json_output10 = json_decode($data10, true); //Un-remark print_r to see all array keys //print_r($json_output); //Output Stock price array key. echo "\n".$json_output['t'],"\n".$json_output['l'],"\n".$json_output['cp'];echo "<br />"; echo "\n".$json_output1['t'],"\n".$json_output1['l'],"\n".$json_output1['cp'];echo "<br />"; echo "\n".$json_output2['t'],"\n".$json_output2['l'],"\n".$json_output2['cp'];echo "<br />"; echo "\n".$json_output3['t'],"\n".$json_output3['l'],"\n".$json_output3['cp'];echo "<br />"; echo "\n".$json_output4['t'],"\n".$json_output4['l'],"\n".$json_output4['cp'];echo "<br />"; echo "\n".$json_output5['t'],"\n".$json_output5['l'],"\n".$json_output5['cp'];echo "<br />"; echo "\n".$json_output6['t'],"\n".$json_output6['l'],"\n".$json_output6['cp'];echo "<br />"; echo "\n".$json_output7['t'],"\n".$json_output7['l'],"\n".$json_output7['cp'];echo "<br />"; echo "\n".$json_output8['t'],"\n".$json_output8['l'],"\n".$json_output8['cp'];echo "<br />"; echo "\n".$json_output9['t'],"\n".$json_output9['l'],"\n".$json_output9['cp'];echo "<br />"; echo "\n".$json_output10['t'],"\n".$json_output10['l'],"\n".$json_output10['cp']; </code></pre>
