Variables

string $address = "" (line 68)

The URL used to find the comic

Redefined in descendants as:

boolean $archive_using_date = True (line 187)

If True saves the file in the archive using the date.

If False will use the file name.

string $author = "" (line 227)

Author of the comic strip. More authors are separated by commas.

Redefined in descendants as:

boolean $checks_enabled = False (line 170)

If the web site is making some sort of check to distinguish real users and bots.

If True, many options will be disabled for the comic. For example, if checks are enabled the comic cannot technically be distributed via RSS to all the users.

Redefined in descendants as:

string $comic_html = "" (line 75)

HTML code of retrieved page

string $complains = False (line 269)

If the comic copyright holder complains about phpGrabComics, the variable is to be set to True and some info will not be published (unless the parameter is overridden in the URL).

Redefined in descendants as:

string $description_long = "" (line 241)

Long description of the comic strip

string $description_short = "" (line 234)

Short description of the comic strip

Redefined in descendants as:

boolean $enabled = True (line 220)

Redefined in descendants as:

string $group = "" (line 277)

if a comic is part of a group, a specific function is called from the constructor, allowing to do some common operation for the group of comics.

Redefined in descendants as:

string $home_page = "" (line 262)

Use $home_page if the web site has an easy download page, used as $address, and a "real", different home page (not yet implemented)

array $http_headers (line 161)

The HTTP headers to be used when retrieving the comic. By default, using real headers. Some sites check for some strings to be present in the headers.

string $img_ext = ".gif" (line 127)

Default extension for the comic strip.

Redefined in descendants as:

string $img_name = "" (line 61)

Name of image (it's used for deciding file name)

string $img_today_suffix = "_today" (line 113)

Suffix for today image.

Image is saved in the temporary position and only if it is ok is then copied to the correct position, using this suffix.

string $img_url = "" (line 47)

The url of the comic to download

Redefined in descendants as:

string $match_string = "" (line 82)

String to be matched for grabbing.

It is a string to be parsed by a regular expression engine, composed in order to contain the URL of the comic in the position 1 of the returned array.

Redefined in descendants as:

integer $min_filesize = 3000 (line 147)

Size in bytes of the minimum dimension for comics. If a comics is less then that, will be deleted.

string $name = "" (line 97)

Redefined in descendants as:

boolean $permanent_url = False (line 179)

If True the comic strip is always in the same URL.

Redefined in descendants as:

string $referer = "" (line 120)

Referrer to be used when downloading the comic.

boolean $report = True (line 154)

If to report errors or not

integer $urls_saved = 7 (line 211)

How many recent urls can be saved in the database

Redefined in descendants as:

Dilbert::$urls_saved

string $url_code = "" (line 283)
