I need desperate help getting the current tv program broadcasted by a specific channel. I want to use this API http://www.webtelevideo.com/api/ to get the program name. I found this page that grabs all the programs of all the italian TV channels but I want only the currently broadcasted program by a specified channel to show. So without country data, language, rating etc... only the name of the TV program that is on at the moment of viewing the web page. I tried to go to http://www.webtelevideo.com/api/getSchedule.php?channel_id=350 (for example) but I want to make only the CURRENT program to appear, ONLY one string. I know that on the web and here at stackoverflow there are a lot of post about APIs and cURL but I'm a noob in this kind of stuff and I really need your help. Thanks a lot in advance
<?php $guide = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wpb_in_onda', true); ?>
<?php
function GetChanels()
{
return json_decode(file_get_contents("http://www.webtelevideo.com/api/getSchedule.php"),true);
}
function GetProgramsOnChanel($ChanName)
{
foreach(GetChanels() as $Chanel)
{
{
return $Chanel["Program"];
}
}
return Array("name"=>"none");
}
function GetCurrentProgramOnChanel($ChanName)
{
foreach(GetProgramsOnChanel($ChanName) as $Program)
{
$Title = $Program["title"];
$start = strtotime($Program["ProgramSchedule"]["start"]);
$end = strtotime($Program["ProgramSchedule"]["stop"]);
$Current = ($start < strtotime("now +1 hour") and strtotime("now +1 hour") < $end);
if($Current)
{
return $Program;
}
}
return Array("title"=>"none");
}
foreach(GetChanels() as $Chan)
$CurrentProgram = GetCurrentProgramOnChanel(" . $guide . ");
echo "Ora è in onda: " . $CurrentProgram["title"] . ". ";
echo "Termina alle: " . $CurrentProgram["ProgramSchedule"]["stop"] . " (ora italiana) <br>";
?>
Following php gives you the data from the api. You can change it so it fit your needs =)
