I have the following, which works locally. I need to convert it to read from a remote file, but I can't guarantee that allow_url_fopen will be available. I need to somehow refactor the following to use cURL or somesuch, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it line-by-line - all the cURL documentation refers to either echoing or returning the whole file. I can't do that, because the file might be too large.

 

Ideas? I'm too tired for this.

 

function pmp_import_read($file, $limit = 1) {
   // used for logging and limiting
   $row = 1;
   // Script will periodically reload from the last file pointer by location header, 
   // passing the pointer as a GET var as it's run from WP cron rather than 
   // true cron from shell
   $pointer = (isset($_GET['pointer'])) ? $_GET['pointer'] : '';
   if (($handle = fopen($file, "r")) !== false) {
       // First line will always contain the headers
       $headers = fgetcsv($handle, 4096, ",");
       // Check if we need to move the pointer
       if (isset($pointer) && $pointer != '') {
           fseek($handle, $pointer);
       }
       // Loop through the rows until we hit limit
       while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 4096, ",")) !== false && $row <= $limit) {
           if (count($data) > 1) {
               // Create associative array of headers and data
               $data = array_combine($headers, $data);
               // Insert/update categories
               $cat_id = pmp_process_categories($data['category']);
               // Insert/update product
               pmp_process_product($data, $cat_id);
           } else {
               // Log the error and continue
               pmp_log('Unable to import at line ' . $row);
           }
           $row++;
       } 
       // Tidy up, get new position of pointer and return it
       $newpointer = ftell($handle);
       fclose($handle);
       return $newpointer;
   } else {
       // Couldn't open the file, no point continuing
       pmp_log('Unable to open file: ' . $file);
       return false;
   }

hey,

 

Made a php lib so i can send push notifications to me android with platform updates, it dosnt use curl and uses php native stream wrapper so should work...

 

https://github.com/snider/php-notifyMyAndroid/blob/master/nmaApi.class.php#L145

D'oh. Why didn't I think of a stream wrapper?

anno right, half the reason to making that lib is to remember that libcurl is not the nice way.... forever forggeting streams
