On this short articles I will share the way to created youtube related video using combination of PHP and javascript (using wordpress as CMS, of course you can edit it to fit your site). This feature will fits for mp3 sites or reviews related site which may need related video to give more information to visitors.

First we will need this javascript code:

function ytlist(data) {
var feed = data.feed;
var entries = feed.entry || [];
var html = ['<ul class="yt-related">'];
for (var i = 0; i < entries.length; i++) {
var entry = entries[i];
var thumbnailUrl = entries[i].media$group.media$thumbnail[0].url;
var playerUrl = entries[i].media$group.media$content[0].url;
html.push(‘<li onclick=”loadVideo(\”, playerUrl, ‘\’, true)”>’, ‘<img src=”‘, thumbnailUrl, ‘” width=”130″ height=”90″/>’, ‘</span></li>’);
}
html.push(‘</ul><br style=”clear: left;”/>’);
document.getElementById(‘ytlist’).innerHTML = html.join(”);
if (entries.length > 0) {
loadVideo(entries[0].media$group.media$content[0].url, false);
}
}
function loadVideo(playerUrl, autoplay) {
var atts = {
id: ‘ytbox’
};
swfobject.embedSWF(playerUrl + ‘&fs=1&enablejsapi=1&autoplay=’ + (autoplay ? 1 : 0), ‘player’, ’500′, ’300′, ’9.0.0′, false, false, {
allowfullscreen: ‘true’
}, {
allowscriptaccess: ‘always’
});
}
function setVisibility(id, visibility) {
document.getElementById(id).style.display = visibility;

Save it as yt.js or get it directly from here yt.js upload it into the right place (in this sample I used wordpress so I put it into themes folder). Next in your header site put this code before </head> tag

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://YOURDOMAIN/PATH/yt.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://swfobject.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/swfobject/swfobject.js”></script>

After this done create CSS file or add this code bellow if you’re already have the CSS file.

#yt{background:#FFF;width:575px}
.close{background:#eee;font-size:12px;height:20px;text-align:right;width:500px}
.close a{color:#111}
ul.yt-related li{cursor:pointer;float:left;list-style:none;margin:5px;width:130px}
ul.yt-related{margin-bottom:10px;margin-top:10px}
#ytbox{display:none;float:left;height:300px;margin:20px;width:500px}
#player{margin-bottom:20px}
#ytlist{margin-top:10px}

Last step is just put this code in area where you want related video shown. Because in this sample I used wordpress I put this code on single.php and using <?php the_title(); ?> as the keyword for related video (you can change this to anything you like).

<div id=”yt”> <h4>Video Terkait Tentang <?php the_title(); ?></h4>
<div id=”ytbox”>
<div class=”close”
onclick=”setVisibility(‘ytbox’, ‘none’);”>
<center><a href=”javascript:void(0)”>Selesai Menonton</a></center>
</div>
<object id=”player”></object>
</div>
<div id=”ytlist” onclick=”setVisibility(‘ytbox’, ‘block’);”>
</div>
<center><script type=”text/javascript”
src=”http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=<?php the_title(); ?>&alt=json-in-script&callback=ytlist&max-results=4&format=5″>
</script></center>
</div>
<div id=”yt”> <h4>Video Terkait Tentang <?php the_title(); ?></h4>
<div id=”ytbox”>
<div class=”close”
onclick=”setVisibility(‘ytbox’, ‘none’);”>
<center><a href=”javascript:void(0)”>Selesai Menonton</a></center>
</div>
<object id=”player”></object>
</div>
<div id=”ytlist” onclick=”setVisibility(‘ytbox’, ‘block’);”>
</div>
<center><script type=”text/javascript”
src=”http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=<?php the_title(); ?>&alt=json-in-script&callback=ytlist&max-results=4&format=5“>
</script></center>
</div>

The result will be like this sample:

You can check the live sample in here http://lyrics.mp3zap.net/judas.html Try opening another post and check the related video it will automatically searching related video on youtube using post title as keyword.

Have problem to integrate? don’t be shy to asking as long I’m not busy I will help. That’s share for today, Have a nice day

In this short articles I will give sample how we can use Cron Job to repair and optimize database automatically. Sometimes when you open your database using PHPmyadmin you may see some database corrupt. We need to repair it manually and optimize it then our database will run smoothly again, the impact is our website will run faster. The problem are when we have not much time on focus on this problem, or we manage to much database which may make us frustrating to work on it manually.

Alright enough for the bad explanation, here is a sample how to use Cron Job. First we need to coding some PHP script to follow what we need. In this sample I created an PHP script to repair and optimize my database.

mysql_connect(“localhost“, “DBUSER“, “DBPASS“) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db(“DBNAME“) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_query(“REPAIR TABLE `TABLE1`, `TABLE2`, `TABLE3`”);
mysql_query(“OPTIMIZE TABLE `TABLE1`, `TABLE2`, `TABLE3`”);

I assume all of you already understand the code so let’s continue this articles. This sample script will repair and optimize our database when we open it via web browser.  Next, we need to add it to cron job to run it follows the settings we made,  so we don’t need to open it manually to repair and optimize database.

From your hosting cPanel, Click on Cron Job, Next choose the setting for run this job, you can choose common settings:

Next in command form type your/php/bin -q /your/path/to/file.php you need to know your php bin and your real path to file. It should works if you’re not set it wrong.

Cron job also can be used for another automation works. Example: backup your files periodically, backup your database periodically, generate your sitemap periodically, etc. All you need is coding that PHP code first then setup the cron job.

Google really inspired my creativity after they allowed my country language showing ads in mobile version. There is 2 version ads which it’s only shown for Android or iPhone and another one is for all mobile device. I want to target the ad to maximize my revenue so I looking a better way to detecting mobile device.

After searching yesterday I found one interesting project it was php-mobile-detect. Actually it PHP class to detecting all mobile device and some high-end device ex: android iphone, etc You can download php mobile detec class from here, open it, you may change something on there is you know about mobile device.

Next, how to using this class. It’s very simple because they already documented it. First upload php mobile detect class and then created some php files with content like this:

include(“Mobile_Detect.php”);
$detect = new Mobile_Detect();

After that there is 7 device you can detect using this class… isAndroid(), isBlackberry(), isOpera(), isPalm(), isWindows(), isGeneric(), and isMobile.() Next, If I want to shown ad only for android phone then I just created php script with content like this sample:

if ($detect->isAndroid()) {
// code to run for the Google Android platform
}

There is something missing on here, as we can see there is no detector for isDesktop() version. Don’t worry we can tricky it using some declaration. There is detector for isMobile() so we will using this variable. The sample code:

if (($detect->isMobile()) == false) {
// code to run for the desktop version
}

That’s it! now we can sepearated users based on their device and we can target ad to shown only for device required. This script was tested on my small project today, you can visited by click this. It’s not done yet but it’s already detecting what device you’re using to access it. Be creative, use your imagination to make a better coding!

That’s it, Have a nice day everyone!

I’m assumed all of you already understand it so let’s get started. First we need to register on admob. Once we registered on admob we need to add mobile site/app. Honestly, I don’t like an category in admob which it’s to small for me (personally). Hope google read this articles and expand their categories. At the moment you can choose this category:

There is another option too add site/app. Not only mobile site there is Smartphone site , Android app, Iphone app, etc. You can choose which one best fit for your needs.

Once you add site/app into your admob account you will received an code from adbom. In this sample I used PHP (curl) code to implement it into wp mobile pack. Copy the php code admob provide and then save it with any name as you like ex: admob.php

Next, open your FTP programs and connect into your host, go to folder ..(may vary path)../wp-content/themes/mobile_pack_base/ and put your admob.php file on that folder.

Next We will try to attach this admob.php into wp mobile theme. You can customize it to shown in every place you like. Example you want to show it in header edit your header.php (in themes/mobile_pack_base/) and copy this code:

<?php
include ‘admob.php’;
echo admob_request($admob_params);
?>

Last step, try it from your smartphone. If you see an test html admob ad then you just success integrate admob. Just focus on your content and let admob handle the ad and monetizing your mobile site.

*tested with motorola phone, windows mobile 5 and windows mobile 6.1 using opera mini and internet explorer.

That’s my share for today, hope everyone have a nice day

So we will using PHP script to generated URL (others will follows standard XML format). Example we have site using PHP and MYSQL we will need to query data from MYSQL and then echo it as URL. The problem is because not all website using same structure I can not give you working scripts to generate sitemap as the result may not working for your site.

The good news, because mostly all website using same method (ex, PHP+mysql blabla) we can use same method to generated sitemap. First we need to make sure the first tag should be like this…

On the second line here comes your job to generated your site URL to listed. The last thing just the closing tag. If you meet problems just read the protocols for sitemap XML standard from here. Learn about each tag function and implement it as needed.

Next step, after we have PHP script that works to generated sitemap we need to make it looks like static sitemap. This trick can be done from your .htacess file by rewrite sitemap.php to become sitemap.xml, Just put this line on your .htacess file (if you don’t have it created one).

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ sitemap.php [L]

Done, it will rewrite sitemap.php to become sitemap.xml and looks like static sitemap. Next step, This sitemap will shown as XML in internet explorer but not in mozilla firefox so we need to declare it as XML. Just put this code on the first line..

header(“Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8″)

Next, If you have more than 5,000 URL you can generated it and saved each sitemap and giving parent sitemap.

The result will shown like this sample:

In this sample I’m using PHP function to read folder and files because basically my site using folder and files to generated links. In another sample I’m using mysql query to generated my sitemap.

If yours company need someone to making scripts like this I can do it for $100 – $10,000 deppend on how hard to coding it. That’s my share for today, sorry for not blogging over a month. I promised will write more in the future.

Have a nice day

This will lead our site in problem because people may think we’re spreading spyware/malware. Even if we claim we don’t created that link I believe 99% people wouldn’t trust us. The best thing to stop this madness is blocking that referrer site to stop referring people into our page.

This php script will using php referrer function to detected referrer site. In this short code sample we may will be needed more manual working. I believe someone can created better one or maybe a nice plugins? you’re ALLOWED to use this script code.

Before I’m going to write the code I just want to tell everyone I already try to blocking bad referrer via .htacces file but it’s not working, I believe there something missing on there… So here is the sample code:

<?php
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']){
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] == ‘BAD-SITE-URL-HERE’) {
echo “REFERRER FROM BAD-SITE-URL HAS BEEN BLOCKED”;
exit;
}
}
?>

The problem is when we’re trying to block another bad site we have to edit this code manually. I hope someone would try to make plugins using this code. At least this code works when I try to blocking some referrer from adf.ly it’s SUCCESS!

For wordpress user where to put this code? Open your admin panel and edit your header.php file, put this code in the top of your header code. This sample script will checking, if referrer coming from badsite it will stop loading pages and giving warning message. When it coming directly of safe site like google, yahoo, bing, etc it will work as usual.

That’s my share for today, happy weekend everyone, enjoy your day
