If I use the format as XML, it doesn’t show me the score or ups & down. Any help !

Just to add my 2 cents, it could also be done like so.

$reddit_url = ‘http://www.reddit.com/api/info.%s?url=%s';
$format = ‘json’; //use XML if you’d like…JSON FTW!

/* action */
$content = get_url(sprintf($reddit_url,$format,urlencode($url)));

but as you stated before, it’s personal preference and I like coming here for tips. ;) Keep up the good articles!

urlencode($url) before appending it to the reddit url, or it will break on URLs that contain query string parameters of their own, among other things.

@Chris the Developer: Oh. I like my mini templating system. A minor detail/preference, in my opinion.

David,

could you provide a workaround because of the great topbar??? I really like it!

I just means that you could save on the str_replace by using string variable substitution supported by php…

$a = ‘foo’;
$b = “hello {$a}”;
