I have a very rough script for the monotonous task of populating one of my database tables with teams attending different events every year. But it would be a lot nicer if I didn't have to go back and correct the year in the database every time.
I have a table of yearly events that gets queried, which in turn allows the script to fetch the list of teams for that event. The year is set using the following:
$year = date('Y');
For each team-event-year combination the following query fires:
INSERT INTO attendance (`team`,`event`,`year`) VALUES ('$team','$event','$year');
Everything looks fine (to my eye), but the year keeps returning as 0000 in the database even though the script prints 2012 when debugging.
My code is as follows:
// from shared parent script
$year = (date('m') < 9) ? date('Y') : date('Y')+1;
// attendance.php - file with code in question
<?php
header("Refresh: 43200;"); // refresh every 12 hours
ob_start();
echo "<p>Filling event rosters for the {$year} season.</p>"; ob_flush(); flush();
function getTeamList($event) {
echo "<h3>Event '{$event}':</h3>"; ob_flush(); flush();
echo "Removing old entries... "; ob_flush(); flush();
mysql_query("DELETE FROM attendance WHERE event='$event' AND year='$year'");
echo "Loading list from FIRST TIMS... "; ob_flush(); flush();
$page =
file_get_contents("https://my.usfirst.org/myarea/index.lasso?page=teamlist&event_type=FRC&event=$event&year=$year&sort_teams=number");
$page = explode('<td nowrap>',$page);
$page = implode('<td>',array_slice($page,'1'));
if ($event == 'CMP') {
$page2 =
file_get_contents("https://my.usfirst.org/myarea/index.lasso?page=teamlist&event_type=FRC&event=$event&year=$year&sort_teams=number&skip_teams=250");
$page2 = explode('<td nowrap>',$page2);
$page2 = implode('<td>',array_slice($page2,'1'));
$page = '<html><body><center><table>
<tr>
<td>'.$page.' <tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<td>'.$page2;
}
$timsList = new DOMDocument;
$timsList->loadHTML($page);
$listings = $timsList->getElementsByTagName('a');
echo "Adding all current entries... "; ob_flush(); flush();
foreach ($listings as $listing) {
if (is_numeric($listing->nodeValue)) {
$team = $listing->nodeValue;
$query = "INSERT INTO attendance (`team`,`event`,`year`) VALUES ('$team','$event','$year')"; // Build SQL query for events
mysql_query($query);
}
}
echo "Done."; ob_flush(); flush();
if ($event == 'CMP') {
$div = array('archimedes','curie','galileo','newton');
foreach ($div as $division) {
mysql_query("DELETE FROM attendance WHERE event='$division' AND year='$year'");

mysql_query($query);
