Getting Started - Myspace Gigs Parser

The first thing you need to do is to grab the grab the code and save it some where as Myspace_Gigs_Parser.class.php. Second, create a test script in the same directory and add the following code to that file.

include('Myspace_Gigs_Parser.class.php');
//replace bobsaget with your bands username
$gigs_parser = new Myspace_Gigs_Parser('bobsaget');
var_dump($gigs_parser->data['gigs']);

If you go to this script in a browser it will display a dump of the array of gigs pulled from your MySpace page or false if none have been retrieved. To utilize the array of gigs use a foreach() construct and loop over the gigs and display them.

foreach($gigs_parser->data['gigs'] as $gig){
  $time = $gig[0] . ' ' . $gig[1];
  echo date('D, j M Y g:iA', strtotime($time));
  echo '<br />';
  echo $gig[2]; echo '<br />';
  echo $gig[3]; echo '<br />';
}

Here is a run down of the indexes and what they contain and in what format.

[0] month day year of gig, format: date('M j Y')
[1] time of gig, format: date('g:iA')
[2] venue of gig
[3] city state of gig
