Code to make other site image to get stored in your wordpress database as well as making other site images to your wordpress post featured image

$upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
$image_data = file_get_contents("Image URL for other site");
$filename = basename($image_url);
if(wp_mkdir_p($upload_dir['path']))
$file = $upload_dir['path'] . '/' . $filename;
else
$file = $upload_dir['basedir'] . '/' . $filename;
file_put_contents($file, $image_data);

$wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype($filename, null );
$attachment = array(
'post_mime_type' => $wp_filetype['type'],
'post_title' => sanitize_file_name($filename),
'post_content' => '',
'post_status' => 'inherit'
);
$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $file, $post_id );
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php');
$attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $file );
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
set_post_thumbnail( $post_id , $attach_id );


wp_update_attachment_metadata will make the image to get stored in your database

set_post_thumbnail will make the image to get featured for the post

$post_id - will be ID of your post, for example if you just want to make your post id 5 to get featured image then just replace the variable  $post_id with 5

How to scrap the titles of a Wordpress site using CURL php?

$curl1 = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl1, CURLOPT_URL, 'Your URL');
curl_setopt($curl1, CURLOPT_HEADER, false); 
curl_setopt($curl1, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); 
curl_setopt($curl1, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,true);
curl_setopt($curl1, CURLOPT_ENCODING,"");
curl_setopt($curl1, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "spider");
curl_setopt($curl1, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER,true);
$result1 = curl_exec($curl1); curl_close($curl1); 


## get the title
preg_match_all('your h1 tag with calss', $result1, $matches1, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
preg_match('/your anchor tag/', $matches1[0][0][0], $set1);
$my_title=$set1[2];



1) Initialize the CURL
2) Enter the URL
3) Check whether the wordpress site comes with the h1 tag and with the same class i declared here, else use the correct one
4) I dont want the link tag so i removed the <--a---> tag, and finally we will have the result

How to get images for a URL through php?

We can use many concepts for this eithe we can use DOM or CURL or anything. Lets see a simple example on how to use DOM concept





$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTML('Your URL');
$imageTags = $doc->getElementsByTagName('img');

foreach($imageTags as $tag) {
$img_src= $tag->getAttribute('src');
}

By this we can get all the image tag in the particular URL, you can write separate scripts for Image types too.

Increment date using while loop in php

 $start_date = "2013-01-01";
  $end_date = "2013-01-20";
  $next_date = $start_date;

  while(strtotime($next_date) <= strtotime($end_date))
  {
    echo "$next_date
";
    $next_date = date ("Y-m-d", strtotime("+5 day", strtotime($next_date)));
  }

Ok in for loop?


$start_date = "2013-01-01";
$end_date = "2013-01-25";
$next_date = $start_date;

for($i=0;$i<=(strtotime($next_date) <= strtotime($end_date));$i++)
{
echo "$next_date
";
$next_date = date ("Y-m-d", strtotime("+2 day", strtotime($next_date)));
}
