converting PHP to autoit - some functions needed

[Allow2010]

hi all,

i am trying to convert some code from php to autoit.

There are some functions that may exist in autoit, but are unknown to me.

So if anyone can point me to the right func or has an idea how to code the needed func i would be glad fo any hint. Thanks in Advance !!

The PHP function i need in autoit are:

simplexml_load_string

http://php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-load-string.php

mb_convert_encoding

http://de3.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-convert-encoding.php

and i also need curl function that allow for

curl_init(...)

curl_setopt(...)

curl_exec(...)

curl_close(...)

The curl function i found did not allow this kind of usage...

Again, any hint, link or code is welcome.

Thank you very much!

This is where the AutoIt community comes into its own. There is an XML UDF floating about around here. Although the last update was in 2010, there may be other UDFs that are newer and better, I don't know.

As for mb_convert_encoding... I don't know.

And for cURL functions, seangriffin has an excellent UDF here.

The function names wont match PHP precisely, but I'm sure you'll be able to work them out.

To convert encdoings, those functions should cover the usual cases:

_WinAPI_MultiByteToWideChar

_WinAPI_WideCharToMultiByte

BinaryToString

StringToBinary

Depending on th extend you use curl, InetRead / InetGet could suffice. Another alternative is WinHTTP (my signature contains a link)

Problem solved...

now i am looking for something like this:

http://php.net/manual/de/function.http-build-query.php

it translates an array to an url in the from of

foo=bar&baz=boom&cow=milch&php=hypertext+processor

is the a func in autoit to do this?

I get totally engrossed when I look at the PHP website, not that I have much experience with it. Anyway, there is no associative array type in AutoIt. I think some people have attempted to create something like that, and it's possible you might find something useful in Example Scripts. You could create a similar function using a 2D array. I'm not sure if this helps you.

Dim $array[4][2] = _
[["foo","bar"], _
["baz","boom"], _
["cow","milch"], _
["php","hypertext+processor"]]

MsgBox(0, "Result",_BuildString($array))

Func _BuildString($array, $delim1 = "=", $delim2 = "&")
    If UBound($array, 2) < 2 Then Return SetError (1, 0, "")
    Local $sRet = ""
    For $i = 0 To UBound($array) -1
        $sRet &= $array[$i][0] & $delim1 & $array[$i][1] & $delim2
    Next
    Return StringTrimRight($sRet, 1)
EndFunc

Search for "scripting dictionary" and you're done.

Let me try again: use the forum search feature for quoted words.
