    <p>SO I have a script that pulls information from an event webpage. URL is this: <a href="http://everguide.com.au/melbourne/event/2012-jul-14/colour/" rel="nofollow">http://everguide.com.au/melbourne/event/2012-jul-14/colour/</a> </p> <p>This php script is calling a python script (its part of a for loop):</p> <pre><code>${"tmp" . $i} = utf8_encode (exec("python myscrape.py ${"eu" . $i}")); </code></pre> <p>It passes a URL. The python script is this:</p> <pre><code># -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import sys URL = sys.argv[1] #$URL = 'http://everguide.com.au/melbourne/event/2012-jul-14/colour/' import urllib2 req = urllib2.Request(URL) response = urllib2.urlopen(req) html = response.read() from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup soup = BeautifulSoup(html.decode('utf-8')) soup.prettify() import re for node in soup.findAll(itemprop="name"): n = ''.join(node.findAll(text=True)) for node in soup.findAll(itemprop="url"): v = ''.join(node.findAll(text=True)) for node in soup.findAll("div", { "class" : "time" }): d = ''.join(node.findAll(text=True)) for node in soup.findAll("a", { "id" : "ctl00_holderBody_ctl00_lnkCat" }): c = ''.join(node.findAll(text=True)) vu = v vu.encode('utf-8', 'xmlcharrefreplace') re.escape(vu) print n,"|", d,"|", vu,"|", c </code></pre> <p>Which works really well, but only returns up to the or pipe before VU - it cant go past that!</p> <p>The UTF-8 encoding is set on all files, HTML and php.</p> <p>When there is a special character in the V variable, it breaks and stops. If there are no special characters, it works perfectly.</p> <p>Expected output is:</p> <pre><code>Colour | 14 July @ 7:30PM | 1000 £ Bend | Clubs &amp; Parties </code></pre> <p>This ouutput can be seen when running the script on the server (with same python command) but over PHP - i cant get the Venue string back in!</p> <p>Please help</p> <p>Rick</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
