Version Checker

khile · 03-02-2008, 07:08 PM

ive started a version checker for my script but not shore of exactly how to doit .
1) i want it to show a message if its out of date and give a link
2) show a message to say its uptodate

any help would be appreciated i have designed the variable from the server but need this script to do rest

http://www.mysite.com/check.php?version=1.0.0

then if 1.0.0 the version is outdated but if 1.0.1 the version is current and uptodate

thank you

Well, one of the most reliable ways is simply to make an file on your system which can be accessed remotely with file_get_contents(); or simply fopen or such. Then, it scans for the texts and if it finds 1.0.1 and then compares it to its own version, I'll notice that it's out of date.

I think that's the best, easy and reliable way.

Indeed, that's how most scripts do it. vBulletin for example uses some fancy Javascript (http://version.vbulletin.com/versioncheck.js) for theirs but just a simple text file with the latest version number in it would work fine.

Personally, I would use a remote XML file. Simply store it on your server and update it manually when you update your software. Have the software check the XML file periodically. Do not check for updates upon every page load as some individuals may not appreciate, although trivial, the bandwidth used upon each and every page load. Simply have it in the administrative area, for instance, and then only to individuals who have the ability to update the software -- if you have a hierarchy of administrators with differing permissions.

The good thing about XML is you can store lots of extra information in there. So you can have a version number, a download link, as well as a release log. The same goes for other similar storage formats, such as JSON.

could someone give me an example as im not too shore really where to start and not sure if xml or php is better

Wildhoney · 03-02-2008, 11:35 PM

Try something like this

See attached.

Therefore to use it you would do something like the following, as DeMo suggested:

php Code:

$pVersion = new TalkPHP_VersionChecker();

$fCurrentVersion = 1.0;
$fLatestVersion = (float) $pVersion->getVersion();

if($fCurrentVersion < $fLatestVersion)
{
    echo 'Version: ' . $fLatestVersion . '<br />';
    echo 'Link: <a href="' . $pVersion->getLink() . '">Download Update</a>';
}

Here's a quick example, first we setup the XML file to hold the version information:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<version>
  <number>2.3.0</number>
  <releasedate>2008-03-02</releasedate>
  <download>http://www.mysite.com/mysoft_230.zip</download>
</version>

Now for the PHP part.
We'll use a variable $current_version to hold the current version number. This can come from a database, from a file on the disk, another variable, a constant, you name it. Let's assume it came from somewhere and it's value is 2.2.0, so our software is not updated.

PHP Code:


			
<?php

  // The current version

  $current_version = "2.2.0";



  // Let's load the XML with the version information

  $xml = simplexml_load_file('http://www.mysite.com/version.xml');



  // Do the version check

  if ($current_version != $xml->number) {

    // Versions are different

    echo 'Your software is out of date!<br />';

    echo 'Latest version: ' . $xml->number . '<br />';

    echo 'Released: ' . $xml->releasedate . '<br />';

    echo 'Download: ' . $xml->download;

  } else {

    // Versions are equal

    echo 'Your software is up to date!';

  }

?>

As you see, it compares $current_version to $xml->number and if they're different it shows the version information, if they're equal it shows a message that the software is updated.

This is a very simple system, if you change the version number to a lower version (say 1.1.0) it will still tell you that you need to update. One way to solve this is to remove the dots from the version numbers and then compare them, this way 2.2.0 becomes 220 and 1.1.0 becames 110, since 220 > 110 you know that you're up to date.

WARNING!
Using simplexml automatically makes your script PHP4 incompatible

DeMo · 03-03-2008, 03:53 AM

Yes, but we all know that PHP4 has already received it's death sentence.

Support for PHP4 will be avaliable until 2008-08-08, but ONLY to address security issues.

PHP4 will die, and since PHP6 has already been announced, everybody still living in the PHP4 age should really start moving to PHP5 now.

all the above are good by keep returning errors could someone help implement them as keet returning things like $end ect

ReSpawN · 03-03-2008, 01:43 PM

Have you tried looking up some tutorials or are you just following our advised blind? I am going to go with Wildhoney's method, and in addition mine. That's the best way. Once again, if you do not have any knowledge about it, or don't understand it, have your go with the fopen commands.

khile · 03-03-2008, 01:55 PM

i've looked at a few tutorials and on php.net about these things but implementing them is proving difficult

ReSpawN · 03-03-2008, 03:58 PM

What is your current approach?

khile · 03-03-2008, 04:11 PM

you mean what im trying prior to this or how ive tried implementing above methods?

Correct. We'd appreciated it if you'd share your script with the community so we can help you out a bit better. We won't steal it or anything, if that's what you're wondering.

(some people do I guess...)

Holy crap. That's a lot to go through but I will get to it a.s.a.p. Of course, if somebody beats me to it, that's OK as well. I'll get back to ya on that.

To clarify, can you sum up the lines which concerns your question?

PHP Code:


			
//$aeburl = 'http://localhost/".global['usite']"/updates.php?version='.$globals['version'];
    $aeburl = 'http://www.".global['usite']".com/aebinfo.js?version='.$globals['version'];

</span></span>

ReSpawN · 03-04-2008, 10:36 AM

Well that won't work I guess. You're opening the variable with a single quote and escaping it with a double quote.

It should be;

PHP Code:


			
    $aeburl = 'http://www.'$global['usite'].'.com/aebinfo.js?version='.$globals['version'];

You can also check the version with;

PHP Code:


			
 $versionCheck = file_get_contents('http://www.'$global['usite'].'.com/aebinfo.js');
$versionCheck = explode('::', $versionCheck);
foreach ($versionCheck as $key => $value) {
echo $versionCheck[$key]. '<br>';
}

The source of that will will look like;
VersionName::Version::Publisher::TalkPHP::WhatEver
And it'll display it all with an enter.
