I need to use ajax to make this whole process smoother.

Here is a demo: http://www.theflickzone.com/dev/

If anyone can do this for me I will pay a few $ via paypal to say thanks :)

Contents of index.html

<form action="return.php" method="POST">
<p>IMDB URL: <input type="text" name="imdb" autocomplete="off"></p>
<p>Links(line by line):
<br />
<textarea cols="50" rows="5" name="links" autocomplete="off"></textarea></p>
<p><input type="submit" /></p>
</form>

Contents of return.php

<?php
function get_inner_string($a,$b,$c)  
{  
  $y = explode($b,$a);  
  $x = explode($c,$y[1]);  
  return $x[0];  
}

$imdb = $_POST['imdb'];
$openIMDB = file_get_contents($imdb);
$findTitle = get_inner_string($openIMDB, '<b>', '</b>');

$posterUrl = $_POST['imdb'];

$posterUrl = preg_replace( 
    '~http://www.imdb.com/title/tt\d+/~', 
    'http://www.theflickzone.com/IMDBPoster/getPoster.php?url=$0', 
    $posterUrl
);

$posterUrl = preg_replace( 
    '~url=http://www.imdb.com~', 
    'url=', 
    $posterUrl
);

echo '[IMG]' . $posterUrl . '[/IMG]';
echo '<br />';
echo '<br />';
echo '[IMDB]'.$imdb.'[/IMDB]';
echo '<br />';
$findPlot = get_inner_string($openIMDB, '<h5>Plot:</h5>', '<a class');

echo '[QUOTE]' . $findPlot . '[/QUOTE]';
echo '<br />';
$links = explode("\n", $_POST['links']); 
$count = count($links);
if ($count == '1'){
    $linksN = implode(\n, $links);
    echo '<p>[FULL]' . $linksN . '[/FULL]</p>';
}
else {
for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++)
{
 echo '[PART="'.($i+1).'"]'.$links[$i].'[/PART] <br />';
 }
}
?>

Hi !Unreal,

you may use this code for needed functionality, you will only need to change in index.html

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script type="text/javascript">

function getHTTPObject() {
	var http = false;
	//Use IE's ActiveX items to load the file.
	if(typeof ActiveXObject != 'undefined') {
		try {http = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");}
		catch (e) {
			try {http = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");}
			catch (E) {http = false;}
		}
	//If ActiveX is not available, use the XMLHttpRequest of Firefox/Mozilla etc. to load the document.
	} else if (XMLHttpRequest) {
		try {http = new XMLHttpRequest();}
		catch (e) {http = false;}
	}
	return http;
}
var http = getHTTPObject();

var url = "return.php";


function handler() {//Call a function when the state changes.
	if(http.readyState == 4 && http.status == 200) {
		document.getElementById('txt').innerHTML = http.responseText;
	}
}

function postMethod(a,b) {
	var params = "imdb=" + a + "&links=" + b;
	http.open("POST", url, true);
	
	//Send the proper header infomation along with the request
	http.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
	http.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length);
	http.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");

	http.onreadystatechange = handler;
	http.send(params);
}


</script>

</head>
<body>
<form action="return.php" method="POST" name="frm">
  <p>IMDB URL:
    <input type="text" name="imdb" autocomplete="off">
  </p>
  <p>Links(line by line): <br />
    <textarea cols="50" rows="5" name="links" autocomplete="off"></textarea>
  </p>
  <p>
   <input name="Submit" type="button"  onclick="postMethod(document.frm.imdb.value, document.frm.links.value)" value="Submit" />
  </p>
</form>
<div id="txt"></div>
</body>
</html>

I hope this code will help you, feel free to PM me ;)
