I have a 25 advertiserids from CJ and now I want to create 2 post in different category of wordpress from each advertiserid given. So I have created following script but it is not pausing for user input, so how can I do that ? If its not possible with while then is there any other method to do this ? in script $ad is array with advertiser's id value and $adcat is also a array with advertiser's catagory
function cjlinks($n)
{
global $ad, $adcat;
$URI = 'https://product-search.api.cj.com/v2/product-search?website-id=12345678'.
'&advertiser-ids='.$ad[$n].
'&records-per-page=2';
$context = stream_context_create(
array(
'http' => array(
'method' => 'GET',
'header' => 'Authorization: ' .
'my api id'
)
));
$res = new SimpleXMLElement(file_get_contents($URI, false, $context));
return $res;
}
$a = 0;
while ($a < 25)
{
echo 'advertiser id is: '.$ad[$a].'<br/>advertiser - catagory is: '.$adcat[$a]->child.
'<br/>';
if (isset($_SESSION['sumit'])){
$data = cjlinks($a);
$attributes = $data->products->attributes();
if ($attributes->{'total-matched'} == 0){
echo 'No products found ...try again with new keyword.';
}else{
foreach ($data->products[0] as $product)
{
// Sanitize data.
$price = number_format((float)$product->price, 2, '.', ' ');
$image = '<a href="'.$product->{'buy-url'}.'"><img src="'.$product->{'image-url'} .'" style="float: right"/></a>';
$pd = $image.$product->description .'<a href="'.$product->{'buy-url'}.
'">...For more details and to buy it click here</a>';
$p = array('post_title' => $product->name,
'post_content' => $pd,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => 1,
'post_category' =>array($_GET['cat']));
$pr = wp_insert_post( $p, $wp_error );
echo '<br/>posted...post ID is:'.$pr;
wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
}
}
}else{
echo 'please complete form';
$a = $a+1;
}
}
?>
<html>
<body>
<form action="catag.php" method="get">
<table>
<tr>
<td><label> Select a catagory from list:</label></td></tr>
<tr>
<?php
foreach($cat as $key=>$val){
echo '<tr><td><input type="radio" value="'.$val->cat_ID.'" name="cat" id="'.$val->cat_ID.'">'.$val->cat_name.'</td></tr>';
}

You can not literally "pause" a
phpscript, asphpis executed on the server before the page even loads.To execute any kind of a "pause" you would need to write your function in Javascript or other Client Side (Browser Executed) code, or send something like an Ajax request to a
phppage that would then update the current page on response.
