Dealing with curl to get count for tweets containing that url - php

Question

I was using following code to decode the tinyurl from twitter:
function MyURLDecode($url)
{
$ch = #curl_init($url);
#curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, TRUE);
#curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, TRUE);
#curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
#curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$url_resp = #curl_exec($ch);
preg_match('/Location:\s+(.*)\n/i', $url_resp, $i);
if (!isset($i[1]))
{
return $url;
}
return $i[1];
}
$url = MyURLDecode($url);
This using this result to get tweet count value:
function get_twitter_url_count($url) {
$encoded_url = urlencode($url);
$content = #file_get_contents('http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=' . $encoded_url);
return $content ? json_decode($content)->count : 0;
}
Above code works fine. But due to some issue I need to change the Url Decoding function which is as below:
function TextAfterTag($input, $tag)
{
$result = '';
$tagPos = strpos($input, $tag);
if (!($tagPos === false))
{
$length = strlen($input);
$substrLength = $length - $tagPos + 1;
$result = substr($input, $tagPos + 1, $substrLength);
}
return trim($result);
}
function expandUrlLongApi($url)
{
$format = 'json';
$api_query = "http://api.longurl.org/v2/expand?" .
"url={$url}&response-code=1&format={$format}";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $api_query );
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
$fileContents = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$s1=str_replace("{"," ","$fileContents");
$s2=str_replace("}"," ","$s1");
$s2=trim($s2);
$s3=array();
$s3=explode(",",$s2);
$s4=TextAfterTag($s3[0],(':'));
$s4=stripslashes($s4);
return $s4;
}
This code gives decoded url correctly, infact with better accuracy then previous one but now result of this does not works with this function:
function get_twitter_url_count($url) {
$encoded_url = urlencode($url);
$content = #file_get_contents('http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=' . $encoded_url);
return $content ? json_decode($content)->count : 0;
}
Rather givig correct count value, it always gives 0.
Can someone tell me what is wrong here?
full code:
<?php
function TextAfterTag($input, $tag)
{
$result = '';
$tagPos = strpos($input, $tag);
if (!($tagPos === false))
{
$length = strlen($input);
$substrLength = $length - $tagPos + 1;
$result = substr($input, $tagPos + 1, $substrLength);
}
return trim($result);
}
function expandUrlLongApi($url)
{
$format = 'json';
$api_query = "http://api.longurl.org/v2/expand?" .
"url={$url}&response-code=1&format={$format}";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $api_query );
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
$fileContents = curl_exec($ch);
/* preg_match('/Location:\s+(.*)\n/i', $fileContents, $i);
if (!isset($i[1]))
{
return '';
}
else
$fileContents = $i[1]; */
curl_close($ch);
$s1=str_replace("{"," ","$fileContents");
$s2=str_replace("}"," ","$s1");
$s2=trim($s2);
$s3=array();
$s3=explode(",",$s2);
$s4=TextAfterTag($s3[0],(':'));
$s4=stripslashes($s4);
return $s4;
}
$url = expandUrlLongApi('http://t.co/SFdM0wjtGA');
echo "Url is : $url <br/>";
$url = get_twitter_url_count($url);
?>
