Hi guys, I’ve been trying to find out what’s causing this problem, but all my searches are taking me in circles so I thought I’d just post and ask straight up. I think it’s a conflict between my PHP script and EE somewhere, but since I’m a total PHP newbie, I’m a bit in over my head as to figuring this one out.

Here’s the jist… I have a feed I’m importing that looks something like this:

2012-11-08;;1;;0,2012-11-09;;1;;0,2012-11-10;;1;;0,2012-11-13;;2;;0,etc, etc

Nothing too complex, pretty basic. Using PHP I’m trying to break the feed down to where I can grab just the string items that have a “2” in them after the date. But my PHP script is throwing this errors back out:

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined offset: 2
Filename: libraries/Functions.php(680) : eval()‘d code
Line Number: 14

Here’s my script below… something’s not right with it I’m sure, but like I said, I’m still learning the basics here. I really could use some help in getting this working within EE. FWIW I know it’s the if($date[2] == 2) line that’s causing the problem. I wrote another script for this task that was giving me a similar errors, so I’m sure it’s something to do with the conditionals in EE.

<?php
$myFile = file_get_contents('http://url_to_my_file_here/');

    $element = explode(",", $myFile);
    $array = array();
    foreach($element as $row){
        array_push($array, explode(";", $row));
    }
    
    foreach($array as $date){
        $newdate = new DateTime($date[0]);
        $newdate = $newdate->format('m-d-Y');
        //echo $newdate;
        if($date[2] == 2)
           echo '"'.$newdate.'",';
        }
?>

Any tips or ideas would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi John,

Welcome to the Forums!

The error is complaining that your $date[2] variable is empty. We need to see the contents of the $data array, so let’s get a look at that:

...

foreach($array as $date){
        echo '<pre>';
        var_dump($date);
        echo '</pre><p>‘;<br />
        }<br />
?>

let me know the result!

Cheers,
