I have a simpleXML file that is being generated from a rest api call

  • 0

I have a simpleXML file that is being generated from a rest api call and will be fed into a database on a scheduled basis via a cronjob.

The results returned from the API calls are limited to 10 per page and the problem I am having is updating the page number parameter for the call to get the next set of results

$page_number = 1;
$page = $page_number++;

$api_url = "example.com/rest/api?products=new&pageid=$page";

I’m not sure how to get the variable $page to increment on each cron, any help is much appreciated

    You could store in:

    • File => See other answers. You need access to file-system for this(But I think you should have this or move along).
    • Redis(or Memcached) => http://redistogo.com offers free instance of Redis and predis very popular PHP library to connect to redis. This solution will (almost’ always work and will be very fast. You only need socket for this.
    • SQL => You should use PDO to connect to SQL if your hosting provider offers this. Also I think it should offer this or you should move along.
