This is probably a straight forward fix, but I really can’t get it to work. My code reads as follows:
PHP (functions.php)
<?php
class shareCount {
private $url,$timeout;
function __construct($url,$timeout=10) {
$this->url=rawurlencode($url);
$this->timeout=$timeout;
}
function get_tweets() {
$json_string = $this->file_get_contents_curl(
'http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=' . $this->url
);
$json = json_decode($json_string, true);
return isset($json['count'])?intval($json['count']):0;
}
}
?>
As you can see there are two functions above: one which gets the link to be decoded and another to decode the json information and return a digit.
I call the two functions in my html as follows:
<div>
<?php
$obj=new shareCount("get_permalink()");
echo $obj->get_tweets();
?>
</div>
The issue I have is that in the html/php, where i call the functions, "get_permalink"
will not work inside the the ""
marks. If i remove the quotation marks it also doesn’t work. The only way this setup seems to work is if a link is manually placed inside the quotes.
I need to use get_permalink()
or something similar to pull the current post url and then add the json_decode
function to it.
Thanks
For anyone with the same issue , I have found the solution to this problem. It took a while but i finally fixed it. The final code is as follows:
PHP (functions.php)
And call the function in HTML as follows:
Basically you need to specify that the php function “get_tweets” is a url. Then specifiy that url as “$url = get_permalink($post->ID). Then when you call the function in html just write echo get_tweets ($url).
$this->file_get_contents_curl replaced file_get_contents
