World of Warcraft Armory xml Grabber with cURL
Ok, I ran across this a little while ago and since I spent a lot of time looking for this, I thought I would share this with all you guys here that want it.
PHP Code:
class armory {
const BROWSER="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070319 Firefox/2.0.0.3";
public $query;
public $server;
public $guild;
public $guildie;
public $page;
public function __construct ( $query, $server, $guild, $guildie, $page ) {
$this->query = $query;
$this->server = $server;
$this->guild = $guild;
$this->guildie = $guildie;
$this->page = $page;
} // end of __construct()
public function pull_xml() {
// change the first part of the $url to the armory link that you need
if( $this->query === 'roster' ){
$url = 'http://eu.wowarmory.com/guild-info.xml?r=' . urlencode($this->server) . '&n=' . urlencode($this->guild) . '&p=' . $this->page;
}elseif( $this->query === 'character' ){
$url = 'http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=' . urlencode($this->server) . '&n=' . $this->guildie;
}
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 15);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, self::BROWSER);
$url_string = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return simplexml_load_string($url_string);
} // end of pull_xml()
} // end class
And then to use it:
PHP Code:
Syntax:
$armory = new armory( [character or roster] , realm , [guild name or NULL] , character name , [page number (guilds only) or NULL];
Example:
$armory = new armory(character, hellscream, NULL, mortisimus, NULL);
$xml = $armory->pull_xml();
Then you could var_dump($xml) to see all the options you can pull from the armory.
Another example (to get the name):
PHP Code:
$armory = new armory(character, hellscream, NULL, mortisimus, NULL);
$xml = $armory->pull_xml();
echo $xml->characterInfo->character['name'];
Which will get the value of the name in the character tag, contained in the characterInfo tag in the xml file from the armory or in short, the characters name 
All simple stuff but it helped me out.

Thanks, I wrote something similar not long ago for a guild website i was developing. In my case I used armory to populate the guild roster in the DB.
One thing i did notice about your code:
PHP Code:
$url_string = curl_exec($ch);
return simplexml_load_string($url_string);
curl_close($ch);
The curl_close is defined after the return, thus it is never fired and resources never freed.
This is the correct code:
PHP Code:
$url_string = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return simplexml_load_string($url_string);
Also
PHP Code:
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, armory::BROWSER);
may aswell be:
PHP Code:
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, self::BROWSER);
Just in case you wish to change the name of your class.

Great contribution, really simple to follow and takes a whole lot of headache out of querying the armory!
Managed to get information on characters with no problems but hit a snag when trying to query guild info. Noticed a wee typo on the example above:
PHP Code:
// change the first part of the $url to the armory link that you need
if( $this->query === 'roster' ){
$url = 'http://eu.wowarmory.com.com/guild-info.xml?r=' . $this->server . '&n=' . $this->guild . '&p=' . $this->page;
Remove the spurious .com and everything works as expected :)
p.s excuse the thread necromancy ... figured this was worth it though. |

Just also noticed, for guilds or server names with spaces the above code breaks. This very slightly modified version should be fine as it converts the whitespace to '+' which is how blizz formats it.
PHP Code:
public function pull_xml() {
// change the first part of the $url to the armory link that you need
if( $this->query === 'roster' ){
$url = 'http://eu.wowarmory.com/guild-info.xml?r=' . urlencode($this->server) . '&n=' . urlencode($this->guild) . '&p=' . $this->page;
}elseif( $this->query === 'character' ){
$url = 'http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=' . urlencode($this->server) . '&n=' . $this->guildie;
}

Ok quick question for you PHP folks. :)
I have managed to get this "working" for a guild roster.
I get to this point...
PHP Code:
$armory = new armory('roster', 'Dawnbringer', 'Fates Defiance', 'Bberrymuffin', NULL);
$xml = $armory->pull_xml();
echo $xml->guildInfo->guild->members->character['name'];
Now I have the XML, and the "character" tag repeats for every member in the guild.
My question is, how do you look through all of the character elements of the members element to get the information on each character?
My PHP skills aren't the best in the world, sorry if this is a dumb question!
Thanks in advance for any help! |

Ok I figured it out (should have googled first haha!)
PHP Code:
foreach ($xml->guildInfo->guild->members->character as $char) {
echo $char['name'] . "<br>";
}
Anyone know how I can go about sorting this array of arrays for the ['name']? |

Welcome to the community, Kalle! In order for it to work, you will need to have the cURL module enabled on your server.
To do so, open the following file: C:\wamp\Apache2\bin\php.ini and uncomment the line extension=php_curl.dll (Remove the semi-colon from the start of the line). Don't forget to restart WAMP after doing so.

An alternative to using curl would be:
PHP Code:
/* $ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 15);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, self::BROWSER);
$url_string = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);*/
$opts = array(
'http'=>array(
'method'=>"GET",
'header'=>"User-Agent: ".self::BROWSER." \r\n"
)
);
$url_string = file_get_contents($url,false,stream_context_create($opts));
return simplexml_load_string($url_string);

But stream context create doesn't work on secured pages, such as for example the guild-login part or the account management page?
Or am I wrong?

The stream contexts will work on any of PHPs stream wrappers (file, http, ftp, php, phar, to name a few) provided you give the proper options/parameters. |

Are you sure it works with secured pages(https)?
Check this thread, it's kinda related to this:
Stream problem

Yes, I regularly access remote pages over SSL with cURL and file_get_contents. Provided your server has OpenSSL, there's really not all that much difference between using HTTP and HTTPS (in the context of retrieving web documents with PHP). |

This is great. I'm slowly working with it to get what I needed but I'm having a problem.
I love the roster and able to pull information from that to create a guild roster. The issue I'm having is I also want to parse in the Profession information. However that is on the separate character pages themselves. How can I grab both roster and all the character pages from that one guild roster so I can then display them how I want.
You can see what I've sort of been experimenting with here:
http://wow.guildregister.com/sortableTable/roster.php
Or even better due to Armory not updating as much. How could I get a .lua file converted over to XML or some format so I can work with it, similar to what you've done with the Armory page. That would work best since that includes officer notes, guild notes, professions, names, etc.
Example of .lua file is here:
http://wow.guildregister.com/sortabl...erProfiler.lua

Unfortunately that doesn't work for me. So continuing to work with what he has done here I have...
I can then sort the xml data and have it display information in a table format (still work in progress) just by adding this to the code:
Code:
$armory = new armory('roster', 'Drenden', 'Priests of Discord', NULL, NULL);
$xml = $armory->pull_xml();
foreach ($xml->guildInfo->guild->members->character as $char) {
echo "<tr id=\"".$char['name']."\">";
echo "<td class=\"rightAlign\">".$char['name']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$char['level']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$char['class']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$char['gender']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$char['race']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$char['achPoints']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$char['url']."</td><br />";
echo "</tr>";
}
I understand that the following:
Code:
$armory = new armory('roster', 'Drenden', 'Priests of Discord', NULL, NULL);
$xml = $armory->pull_xml();
is broken up into variables that let me define where it's pulling the data. There are two different XML pages, one is 'roster' and the other is 'character'. The second field determines what server: 'Drenden'. The third field indicates the guild name: 'Priests of Discord'. The fourth field indicates specific character name: NULL. The last field is page number, when looking at guild information only used during the 'roster' option.
The problem is the 'character' xml page. There is a lot more information in that page. I could access it for a single character like 'Anastasia' by using the following code:
Code:
$armory = new armory('character', 'Drenden', 'Priests of Discord', 'Anastasia', NULL);
$xml = $armory->pull_xml();
I want to be able to temporarily load all the XML data for the 'roster' page as well as each 'character' page for only those members on that 'roster' page. I tried to do something like:
Load Armory Roster Page
Code:
$armory = new armory('roster', 'Drenden', 'Priests of Discord', NULL, NULL);
$xml = $armory->pull_xml();
Then use access the name variable to create a separate query for each by doing:
Code:
foreach ($xml->guildInfo->guild->members->character as $char) {
$armory = new armory('character', 'Drenden', 'Priests of Discord', $char.['name'], NULL);
$xml = $armory->pull_xml();
}
Unfortunately that does not seem to work. I'm probably trying to load too much variable information or I have the wrong order of how I can use it. I might be over complicating it too. Step by step I can produce each thing individually, now I'm just trying to combine all the single steps so I can display it all on one page.
Full Code:
Code:
<?php
class armory {
const BROWSER="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070319 Firefox/2.0.0.3";
public $query;
public $server;
public $guild;
public $guildie;
public $page;
public function __construct ( $query, $server, $guild, $guildie, $page ) {
$this->query = $query;
$this->server = $server;
$this->guild = $guild;
$this->guildie = $guildie;
$this->page = $page;
} // end of __construct()
public function pull_xml() {
// change the first part of the $url to the armory link that you need
if( $this->query === 'roster' ){
$url = 'http://www.wowarmory.com/guild-info.xml?r=' . urlencode($this->server) . '&n=' . urlencode($this->guild) . '&p=' . $this->page;
}elseif( $this->query === 'character' ){
$url = 'http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=' . urlencode($this->server) . '&n=' . $this->guildie;
}
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 15);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, self::BROWSER);
$url_string = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return simplexml_load_string($url_string);
} // end of pull_xml()
} // end class
$armory = new armory('roster', 'Drenden', 'Priests of Discord', NULL, NULL);
$xml = $armory->pull_xml();
foreach ($xml->guildInfo->guild->members->character as $char) {
$armory = new armory('character', 'Drenden', 'Priests of Discord', $char['name'], NULL);
$xml = $armory->pull_xml();
}
foreach ($xml->characterInfo->characterTab->professions->skill as $prof) {
echo $prof['name'];
}
foreach ($xml->guildInfo->guild->members->character as $char) {
echo "<tr id=\"".$char['name']."\">";
echo "<td class=\"rightAlign\">".$char['name']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$char['level']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$char['class']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$char['gender']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$char['race']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$char['achPoints']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$char['url']."</td><br />";
echo "</tr>";
}
