Total Shouts + PHP

[Dexx]

This script will print the amount of shouts you have "where you will place this code"
Example:
dexxaboy.com/

Create a new .php file and past in this code

---

<?PHP
$url = "http://www.saybox.co.uk/shout.php?action=archive&user=USERNAME";
preg_match('|<strong>(\d+)</strong>|', file_get_contents($url), $match);
// Will print the amount, example 123
echo "Shouts <b>$match[1]</b>";
?>

---

Hope you enjoy it

Man Renegade, it keeps getting better and better ;D

Is there a way to get this to work for Proboards?

[Nocando]

Since you need to upload the new file to a server I doubt that will be possible

You can't use php on a ProBoards forum.

[Rage of Thor]

Didn't think so....... Thanks anyway.

[Christie]

So if my saybox is on a proboard, I cannot use this?

[fireball21]

that is right.

Accually, with a couple minor changes, you can use it on your proboard...

copy/paste this script to a notepad, save it and upload it to your host.

<?php

$url = "http://www.saybox.co.uk/shout.php?action=archive&user=USERNAME";
preg_match('|<strong>(\d+)</strong>|', file_get_contents($url), $match);
echo 'document.write("Shouts <b>'.$match[1].'</b>");';

?>

don't forget to modify the 'USERNAME' part.
Now, in your headers/footers place this code:

<script language="javascript" src="URL of above file"></script>

Just replace 'URL of above file' with the appropriate URL.

What type of file should I save it as? And would Angelfire work as a host? If not, what would? Any furthur help you could give me would be greatly appreciated...

[Ron]

.php

[Rage of Thor]

It's not working for me. Is Angelfire the problem?

[cellDamage@Elixant]

Yes, angelfire dont offer PHP as part of their package.

Try lycos.co.uk as they DO provide PHP

[Rage of Thor]

Is that for free? I need something that has PHP for free.
