The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Need PHP help parsing CGI response...

Asked by jenjenut233 in PHP Scripting Language

Tags: PHP

http://pastie.org/294866

I have a form that submits to a PHP script which in turn does a shell_exec to a perl script written by someone else, which calls an API to validate the form data. The pastie is the exact response I am given when a user is not authenticated. This should be very easy for someone to figure out, but I'm on a time crunch to get this done by end of day so I need to know how to parse out each field.

Specifically, at the bottom of the response is a 'data' => '0' -- it could potentially be '1' but that shouldn't matter for these purposes. However, I want to be able to know what that value is. I also want to know what the value of the errors[{'messages'}] is *if* it exists (sometimes it won't be there, that's ok).

So in essence, I want to be able to say if (blah['data'] == '0') then do something otherwise do something else.

TIA,
Jen

<?php

// echo $output gives: 
$VAR1 = bless( {

  'errors' => [
    {
      'data' => '',
      'message' => 'Customer/password combination is invalid',
      'code' => '1997'
    }
  ],
  '_warn_table' => undef,
  '_err_table' => undef,
  'multicall' => 0,
  'data' => '0'
}, 
'VWH::API::Return');
