W3 Validator, DOM, byteson and PHP
I've uploaded a new byteson example page, based on a single and simple request to a PHP page that uses W3 Validator service, calling a SOAP result, parse them to convert it into an associative array and finally send it with JSON to byteson.
Here is the PHP code
This code is above the xHTML output and You can view them by yourself, viewing the example page.
This php page uses two other files, my FastJSON class and my last function on devpro, called W3validator (what a fantasy ...).
The JavaScript code is this one
The last file is the external stylesheet used in this page.
This basic example can explain better than every post, how W3validator PHP function works and how much is simple to implement byteson inside other JS code.
Have fun with W3 validation ;-)
Here is the PHP code
<?php
// byteson filter
if(isset($_POST['byteson'])) {
// http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/3512.html
require 'FastJSON.class.php';
// http://www.devpro.it/code/143.html
require 'W3validator.function.php';
// remove magic quotes if th it's present
// magic_quotes is a problem for JSON strings
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc())
$_POST['byteson'] = stripslashes($_POST['byteson']);
// get the output
$output = FastJSON::encode(W3validator(FastJSON::decode($_POST['byteson'])));
// force new content to download
header('Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8');
header('Content-Length: '.strlen($output));
header('Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT');
header('Last-Modified: '.gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s').' GMT');
header('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate');
header('Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0', false);
header('Pragma: no-cache');
// exit writing JSON object for byteson
exit($output);
}
?>
