I have 2 php files(index.php and lelong.php). I am trying to load the html first in the index.php (table) and display the word(Calculating...) on the second column while the lelong.php extracting the data from the website before outputting them.
Is there a way to do that? I heard of using JS or AJAX but not really sure how to do it.
Index.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<?php include 'lelong.php'; ?>
</head>
<body>
<table border ="1" style = "width:50%">
<tr>
<td>E-Commerce Website</td>
<td>No. of Products </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Lelong</a></td>
<td><?php echo $lelong; ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
<body>
lelong.php
<?php
$grep = new DoMDocument();
@$grep->loadHTMLFile("http://www.lelong.com.my/Auc/List/BrowseAll.asp");
$finder = new DomXPath($grep);
$class = "CatLevel1";
$nodes = $finder->query("//*[contains(@class, '$class')]");
$total_L = 0;
foreach ($nodes as $node) {
$span = $node->childNodes;
$search = array(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9);
$number = str_replace($search, '', $span->item(1)->nodeValue);
$number = preg_replace("/[^0-9]/", '', $span->item(1)->nodeValue);
$total_L += (int) $number;
}
$lelong = number_format( $total_L , 0 , '.' , ',' );
?>
Thanks
