My Web Command Line

**Subway** · 06-10-2007, 01:41 PM

I was so frustrated today that YubNub had a lot of cryptic commands for the services I'm using and the short ones are all taken, so what do you do? Yes, you create your own web command line.

http://www.mindshareprojects.com/webcommandline.php

Here's the php code for everyone that wants to do the same:

PHP Code:


<?php



$search = trim($_GET['c']);



$splitat = strpos($search,' ');

$command = substr($search,0,$splitat);

$parameter = substr($search,$splitat+1);



if ($command == 'leo' || $command == 'l'){

    header("Location: http://dict.leo.org/?search=".urlencode($parameter));

    exit(0);

}

if ($command == 'digg' || $command == 'd'){

    header("Location: http://www.digg.com/search?section=news&s=".urlencode($parameter));

    exit(0);

}

if ($command == 'reddit' || $command == 'r'){

    header("Location: http://reddit.com/search?q=".urlencode($parameter));

    exit(0);

}

if ($command == 'imdb' || $command == 'i'){

    header("Location: http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=".urlencode($parameter));

    exit(0);

}

if ($command == 'wiki' || $command == 'w'){

    header("Location: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/".urlencode($parameter));

    exit(0);

}

if ($command == 'gmail' || $command == 'g'){

    header("Location: https://gmail.google.com/gmail?search=query&q=".urlencode($parameter)."&view=tl&fs=1");

    exit(0);

}

if ($command == 'php' || $command == 'p'){

    header("Location: http://www.php.net/".urlencode($parameter));

    exit(0);

}

if ($command == 'fk' || $command == 'f'){

    header("Location: http://board.flashkit.com/board/search.php?do=process&query=".urlencode($parameter));

    exit(0);

}

if ($command == 'whois' || $command == 'wi'){

    header("Location: http://whois.sc/".urlencode($parameter));

    exit(0);

}

if ($command == 'slang' || $command == 's'){

    header("Location: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=".urlencode($parameter)."&r=f");

    exit(0);

}

if ($command == 'css' || $command == 'c'){

    header("Location: http://cssdocs.org/".urlencode($parameter));

    exit(0);

}

if ($command == 'lorem' || $command == 'li'){

    header("Location: http://www.lipsum.com/feed/html?amount=".urlencode($parameter));

    exit(0);

}

if ($command == 'validate' || $command == 'v'){

    header("Location: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=".urlencode($parameter));

    exit(0);

}

if ($command == 'product' || $command == 'ps'){

    header("Location: http://www.google.com/products?q=".urlencode($parameter));

    exit(0);

}

Does it only work through installation into Firefox? Because I tried typing "f raycasting" to test it in Safari, and it just redirected me to your website. :s

**Subway** · 06-10-2007, 04:00 PM

That's an error ... working on it.

Edit: Fixed. I changed the url of the script and forget to change it in the form as well. I simple have'nt tested the form after the url change. Of course the form url has to be the same as the script name, in this case "webcommandline.php".

Save some processing power and cut down the php file size.

Code:

function returnsite($url)
{	global $parameter;
	header("Location: http://".$url.urlencode($parameter));
	exit(0);
}

switch($command)
{
	case 'leo': case 'l':
		returnsite("dict.leo.org/?search=");
	case 'digg': case'd':
		returnsite("www.digg.com/search?section=news&s=");
	case 'reddit': case'r':
		returnsite("reddit.com/search?q=");
	case 'imdb': case 'i':
		returnsite("www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=");
	case 'wiki' : case 'w':
		returnsite("en.wikipedia.org/wiki/");
	case 'gmail' : case 'g':
		returnsite("gmail.google.com/gmail?search=query&view=tl&fs=1&q=");
	case 'php' : case 'p':
		returnsite("www.php.net/");
	case 'fk' : case 'f':
		returnsite("board.flashkit.com/board/search.php?do=process&query=");
	case 'whois' : case 'wi':
		returnsite("whois.sc/");
	case 'slang' : case 's':
		returnsite("www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?r=f&term");
	case 'css' : case 'c':
		returnsite("cssdocs.org/");
	case 'lorem' : case 'li':
		returnsite("www.lipsum.com/feed/html?amount=");
	case 'validate' : case 'v':
		returnsite("validator.w3.org/check?uri=");
	case 'product' : case 'ps':
		returnsite("www.google.com/products?q=");
}

**VENGEANCE MX** · 06-10-2007, 04:46 PM

Sweet!

Any way of incorporating this as a Safari plugin? Hell, I reckon a simple Flash app could do the same job with a getURL() code.

**Subway** · 06-10-2007, 04:49 PM

Have a look: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=153340&cid=12866050

You should be able to do the same with this script.

As if anyone would notice those one or two milliseconds.

Thx anyway.

I know, but I couldn't resist.

Redundancy is my kryptonite.

Sorta reminds me of Ranchero Huevos...

Btw, your script does'nt work with Gmail and probably the urban dictionary. You've missed to add the url parameters that came after the search parameter.

Here's the fixed version:

PHP Code:


<?php



$search = trim($_GET['c']);



$splitat = strpos($search,' ');

$command = substr($search,0,$splitat);

$parameter = substr($search,$splitat+1);



function returnsite($url){    

    global $parameter;

    header("Location: ".$url.urlencode($parameter));

    exit(0);

}



switch($command){    

    case 'leo': case 'l':

        returnsite("http://dict.leo.org/?search=");

    case 'digg': case'd':

        returnsite("http://www.digg.com/search?section=news&s=");

    case 'reddit': case'r':

        returnsite("http://reddit.com/search?q=");

    case 'imdb': case 'i':

        returnsite("http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=");

    case 'wiki' : case 'w':

        returnsite("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/");

    case 'gmail' : case 'g':

        returnsite("https://gmail.google.com/gmail?search=query&view=tl&fs=1&q=");

    case 'php' : case 'p':

        returnsite("http://www.php.net/");

    case 'fk' : case 'f':

        returnsite("http://board.flashkit.com/board/search.php?do=process&query=");

    case 'whois' : case 'wi':

        returnsite("http://whois.sc/");

    case 'slang' : case 's':

        returnsite("http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?r=f&term=");

    case 'css' : case 'c':

        returnsite("http://cssdocs.org/");

    case 'lorem' : case 'li':

        returnsite("http://www.lipsum.com/feed/html?amount=");

    case 'validate' : case 'v':

        returnsite("http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=");

    case 'product' : case 'ps':

        returnsite("http://www.google.com/products?q=");

Oh and I think we can get rid of the switch breaks as we already use the exit function ... one moment ... yes, we can (script changed).

**Genesis F5** · 06-10-2007, 05:06 PM

Ah, thank you very much. Updated.

Edit: Good call on the breaks. See, you're getting the hang of it.

At 1000 visitors a day and an average of 3 seconds saved, you've saved the world a whopping 18 hours a year!

**Subway** · 06-10-2007, 05:14 PM

I made it even smaller and easier to edit, we really don't need to echo all those html tags:

PHP Code:


<?php

$command = substr($search,0,$splitat);

$parameter = substr($search,$splitat+1);



function returnsite($url){    

    global $parameter;

    header("Location: ".$url.urlencode($parameter));

    exit(0);

If it wasn't for Google using that darn https protocol it could be even smaller if we set the protocol in the function. I guess we could put the http part in there, but readability would be poor.

Edit: Nope! It works. Updated again. How small is this going to get!?

**Subway** · 06-10-2007, 05:23 PM

A better exercise would be to add a basic useraccount (db) where people can add their own personal commands. Getting closer to what YubNub does, but with commands that are directly linked to individual users and not to everyone.

what about something extra? add params to the commands

like for digg: digg -t type -a searchstring
-t type
-a: all, -u: upcoming

For example if you want to search only the frontpage stories at digg for iphone news, use it like this: digg -f iphone

The description table is a bit hard to read, working on that one.

Edit: Ok, better. Now I just have to add some more controle parameters.

Subs, what about packaging this as a XUL app that works like Launchy/Quicksilver in the browser, with a keystroke, that automatically indexes your bookmarks / history?

**Subway** · 06-11-2007, 01:14 PM

I'm not fluent in XUL ... maybe Ihoss steps in at some time.
