The Loop

Anyone here used Symfony's DomCrawler before?

@userabuser I am going to...

@Rarst I'm currently using it right now, but I can't seem to figure out how to return "every" href attribute for all links on the page ... today I is stoopid.

@Rarst To be precise I am using the standalone Goutte which bundles the necessary components from Symfony into a .phar

use filter() method as per docs?

I did, but using $crawler->filter('h2 a')->attr('href'); for example returns the first node in the node list where the condition is true, so basically the first link. But for some reason I can't seem how to pass this logic through to the each() function...

don't use attr on it, feed it into foreach

lol, JS at pace for JS -challenged

Correct syntax:

$attributes = $crawler
    ->filterXpath("descendant-or-self::h2/descendant::a")
    ->extract(array('href'))
;

meh...

beats doing it with vanilla stuff, no? :)

@Rarst Sure does... but I just thought their would be an easier way to get attributes as shown in the each() closure function, but seems like if you want all attributes, you need to extract() instead of calling attr()... even if you omit the attr() function and dump your output from filter() you will see it doesn't contain any attributes for you to extract.. shame. Oh well.. I will have to follow their rules then :)

...so far I give it my stamp of approval, recommend you scrape something with it if you get the chance :D

Arrange your code automatically with PhpStorm (re)arranger http://ow.ly/iy5XC

this could be interesting for dealing with messes...

12:45 PM

that’s not built-in?

@toscho upcoming v6 feature

Eclipse does that automatically when I paste a mess into an already well formatted PHP document.

I have a special file named _reformat.php to fix messy code from our site by copy & paste.

nifty

just got ingress invite. now need new phone...

It is not perfect. When I paste deeply nested code there are sometimes strange indentations.

@Rarst What is the ingress you speak of...

12:58 PM

@userabuser it's closed beta of google's augmented reality game that makes you go outside

go outside? nah that will never catch on...

anu

@toscho code reformatting is already part of PHPStorm - this new feature is about moving class methods and fields around - so if you want all private methods at bottom of class, it will do that

ah, okay

KiTTY is a fork from version 0.62 of PuTTY, the best telnet / SSH client in the world.

@toscho tried it yet?

Impressive vote counts in the SO election

2:48 PM

There's a number of filters called 'list_cats' inside wp_dropdown_categories(). The first few have one arg, the later ones (inside the Walker) have two args. Throws errors and no chance to determine the difference... Am I doing something wrong (again)?

3:00 PM

Ok. Needs no arguments in the callback callback() and then func_get_args()...

3:18 PM

get_terms(): possible arguments for fields

 * `all`
 * `names`
 * `count`
 * `ids` || `id=>parent`

Sure... totally obvious. Especially ids || id=>parent

Why can't the WP API not just use the same names as the DB rows...

3:30 PM

get_terms is by far the most stupid function. I an alter the query as much as I want, but unless I haven't set fields => all, the function will pop off all my data from the result and I got no option intercepting it. facepalm

I will never understand why we got the option "{$taxonomy}_children".
