Hello you, maybe i know you or don't but for sure would like to. But now i know that you more like to learn about JSON.
Maybe you are friendly with JSON, that will help you a lot to understand the snippets but if your not, there is no broblem still. Just use the code as instructed.
Now, i've created a small function here:
function wiki($title){
$url = 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&page='.$keyword.'&format=json&prop=text§ion=0';
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'TEST'); //add your CURL address(instead of TEST) because wikipedia recommends to use real init user instead of test to save your IP from blockage
$c = curl_exec($ch);
$json = json_decode($c);
if($json !=''){
$content = $json->{'parse'}->{'text'}->{'*'};
$pattern = '#
(.*)
#Us';
if(preg_match($pattern, $content, $matches)){
if($matches[1] != ''){
$con = preg_replace("/[[^)]+]/", '', $matches[1]);
$wiki = '
'.strip_tags($con).'
';
}
}
}
return $wiki;
}
echo wiki(india);
