Help with PHP API Code

I'm running this bitcoin API code retriving the data from MtGox but it's not working any longer because they site is not up anymore. Goal is to now pull the info from blockchain.info/ticker or bitstamp.net/api/ticker/ or both tickers APIs. If you want to see an example you can go to bitcoinvalues.net. It's supposed to show on top of the site but there is not data.

PHP

1.<?php
 2.          //first fetch the current rate from MtGox
 3.          $ch = curl_init('https://mtgox.com/api/0/data/ticker.php');
 4.                  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MtGox PHP client; '.php_uname('s').'; PHP/'.phpversion().')');
 5.                  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "CakeScript/0.1");
 6.                  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
 7.                  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
 8.                  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
 9.                  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
 10.                  $mtgoxjson = curl_exec($ch);
 11.                  curl_close($ch);
 12. 
 13.          //decode from an object to array
 14.                  $output_mtgox = json_decode($mtgoxjson);
 15.                  $output_mtgox_1 = get_object_vars($output_mtgox);
 16.                  $mtgox_array = get_object_vars($output_mtgox_1['ticker']);
 17. 
 18.  ?>
 19.  <br/>
 20.  <br/>
 21.  Last: <?php echo $mtgox_array['last'];   ?><br/>
 22.  High: <?php echo $mtgox_array['high'];   ?><br/>
 23.  Low:  <?php echo $mtgox_array['low'];   ?><br/>
 24.  Avg:   <?php echo $mtgox_array['avg'];   ?><br/>
 25.  Vol:   <?php echo $mtgox_array['vol'];   ?><br/>

Good for you!

But...this isn't for questions. There is a bit of text just above this which says:

Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific help please use the programming forums.

So try the PHP forum: http://www.codeproject.com/Forums/1213650/Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.aspx[^]
Or QA: http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/ask.aspx[^]

Either way, it'd probably be a good idea to give us some kind of idea of what your problem is and what help you need, because very few of us can read minds...and those of us who can don;t like to remove out tin-foil hats because The Voices will start again, and that's never a good sign.

The Clutch Saga

Brady Kelly24-May-14 3:19

A small victory[^] in my clutch saga, thanks to OriginalGriff, who suggested drilling off the bolt head. However, I am now blocked by a mystery transmission part[^] that I do not know how to remove. It looks like this[^] on the inside, and I suspect I somehow have to remove the spiggoted nut-type thing, but have no idea how.

Is that a decoration on the outside or a spring?
Why do you have to remove it - it looks like a bushing?
The inside looks like it's threaded - with a big odd nut with four lugs.
What does it do?

Brady Kelly24-May-14 4:23

24-May-14 4:23

It's a spring, and I have to remove it because it blocks the clutch assembly from sliding up and off. No idea what it is.

If you have a BIG pair of long nosed pliers, it should be able to be opened up to engage two of the opposite slots in the nut, then use a wrench across the opened pliers to turn the nut.

Have you tried googling the number on the inside, plus the model of the bike. Looks like a part number!

I really don't give a crap what it is right now, that's a much lower priority than just getting it off, and there are either only generic workshop manuals or none for these cheap bikes. It cost me ZAR13k, where a Vespa 150cc costs ZAR70k, to give you a perspective.

Well, once youv'e identified whatever it is, you can Google removal instructions. The spiral thing looks like a captive spring, and my experience with springs is often when they come out (normally pinging past you face) they won't go back in.

The 'spiral thing' is no not the issue. It is in the cover of the mystery part, my which my photos show I have easily removed, and the spring shall forever remain untouched. It is the bottom half of the mystery part, where I say "here is what it looks like on the inside", that I need to remove. The top part was just held on with three easily loosened screws.

a) Put a big flat blade screwdriver into the slot and hit the shaft of the screwdriver to try and rotate the part.

b) put 2 big flat blade screwdrivers into opposite slots, lock the driver heads together and then turn the both of them, acting as a key.

If it is really tight, you could again try the heating method to release tension by expanding the parts.

Tried (1) half-heartedly, will try (2) tomorrow when I'm not exhausted. I will also try and bend a piece of steel into a U shape that fits the nut thing, in its slots, and turn that with a vice grip.

As a motorcyclist, I was intrigued by the part with no apparent function (I found your question also on http://mechanics.stackexchange.com/questions/9867/what-is-this-part-and-how-do-i-remove-it ), so I googled for the part number shown (CG200-B) and eventually found the Chinese company that (probably) make it: long link

This didn't get me very far, but I thought I recognised many of the pictures that Google offered as a Honda, so searched for Honda CG200, which wasn't too helpful, but led me to believe that the engine was based on the venerable Honda CG125 from the 80's, so I googled that and found a (free) workshop manual at www.die-kleinkraftrad-ig.de/wissensdatenbank/reparaturanleitungcg125.pdf which (on page 12) confirmed the empty housing with the 3 screws is a centrifugal oil filter. On p23 it tells you how to remove it with Honda's special tool 07916-6390001 which amazingly one can still buy at http://www.wemoto.com/parts/picture/HO-07916-6390001 for £26, which is not much help to you, but confirms that it can be made from a suitable length of thick-walled steel tube.

Good luck!

PS was there any oil/sludge inside the filter?

Brady Kelly27-May-14 2:13

Thanks a whole lot man! Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

I googled the part number, but stopped looking after the first few hits. I was already preparing to make a similar removal tool, but it's fascinating to know the thing's function. Yes, there is a bit of stiff sludge around the shaft and locknut, but very little. I'll attempt the toolmaking this weekend, and hopefully be up and running by Monday. The 6.5km walk home from the bus stop is getting a little annoying.

but, these Germans can show the world a thing or two - this message is coming to you from 22,000+ feet, 'somewhere over India' via a WiFi Hotspot in business class connected to the rest of the world by Satellite Wink | ;-)

(so Ive typed up my work notes and uploaded them)

Now all I need is for Germany/EU never to outsource their computers in Microsoft and Intel again - we were 2 hours late getting off the ground due to a number of reboots required on a computer and its backup - so it was back off the runway and to a maintenance zone we went - not happy, going to miss my connection tonight from Frankfurt to Florence I reckon

(ok, I don't know if they actually use Intel/Microsoft on an A340-600, but it makes for a good story)

btw, thanks to all those who chipped in about Bangkok - don't know what all the fuss was about on TV, the coup certainly didn't affect day to day life for us tourists - the limo sped past a roadblock on the way in but the soldiers wernt interested - and I'd forgotten how polite and nice the Thai people are

Not yet at least. Thailand has the military coup d'etat down to a science.

The problems arise only if it looks like the military does not want to transition to an elected government. The election will probably be set for a year from now but that is okay as long as it is scheduled to occur.

It is kind of amazing how life goes on pretty much as usual even with soldiers stationed on the streets. This is my second Thai coup d'etat and I am amazed how peaceful they are here. I wouldn't want to be in a coup d'etat in any other country that has less experience. Big Grin | :-D
