User talk:Currentlybiscuit/ScrapCCAnimScript

I finally got the script to work (my fault, I'm working out of very old memory here.. long time i didn't do this stuff..) But I'm back to the same problem I had with firefox some plugins ... I'm getting files alright, but they're named %E4%B8%8D-bw.png %E6%98%AF-bw.png %E7%9A%84-bw.png instead of 豕-order.gif or 豕-red.png or 豕-bw.png which beats the whole purpose of automating the download if I can't get the images names to match the character's names. I checked, and seems my terminal is able to display Chinese characters. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

ok, not doing anything wrong, it's just the way the script was written. Script was saving files with their original filename e.g %E6%88%91-order.gif which is not very useful for me. I'd rather they're saved as 我-order.gif same as downloading manually using a browser. My scripting knowledge is really sketchy now, and I've never really worked with PHP, but here's what I did to make it work for me. Replace line 101 with the following

$alt = $img->getAttribute("alt"); if ($type == "bw") $filename = substr($alt, 1) . "-bw" . ".png";
if ($type == "red") $filename = substr($alt, 1) . "-red" . ".png";
if ($type == "order") $filename = substr($alt, 1) . "-order" . ".gif";
For some reason, the alt attribute was returning 我? instead of 我-order.gif hence the need for separate if statements.

Working version downloading human-readable files

I downloaded the script on the main page, but it didn't work for me. Here is what I did:

1. I installed the curl-php package on my ubuntu machine
2. I made following changes to the script:

• There are some leading "//" in front of the original url, which have to be removed.
• I inserted "urldecode" twice to obtain 的 as filename instead of %E7%9A%84
• I use curl instead of file_get_contents. To do this, I inserted a new function get_data, which I found on http://www.galuba.net/programmierung/php/file_get_contents-oder-curl.html (german)

Here's the output of diff new.php old.php:
