GetPos() and SLURL question

Using GetPos() of object and logging it in an external db.
Have php page that reads this info out of the db and creates an link to
http://slurl.com/secondlife/<region>/<x-coordinate>/<y-coordinate>/<z-coordinate>/

problem is, the field in the db looks like <145.04010, 251.01749, 46.07549>

any idea how to write php to create a link using the slurl?

thanks

Instead of sending the data from llGetPos straight to your data base in one chunk send it in three chunks as var1=location.x var2=location.y and var3=loation.z and then feed those three vars back into the slurl as the three coordinates. Those three vars are "givens" in your lsl after calling llGetPos.

Either that are you parse it back out when you get ready to use it like this:

string x = (string) slurl_vector.x;
string y = (string) slurl_vector.y;
string z = (string) slurl_vector.z;
llOwnerSay("secondlife:///app/teleport/" + region + "/" + x + "/" + y + "/" + z);

Try this (not yet tested; may need minor syntax fixes):

$sample = "<145.04010, 251.01749, 46.07549>";

preg_match('/<\s*([0-9]+(?:.[0-9]+)?)\s*,\s*([0-9]+(?:.[0-9]+)?)\s*,\s*([0-9]+(?:.[0-9]+)?)\s*>/', $sample, $matches);
$posX = $matches[1];
$posY = $matches[2];
$posZ = $matches[3];

I would like to do this. Not sure exactly how. like this?

vector tblocation = llGetPos(); // and this.
vector tbglobalcoord = llGetRegionCorner() + llGetPos(); // and this.
integer tbtimestamp = llGetUnixTime();
string tbcoordx = tblocation.x;
string tbcoordy = tblocation.y;
string tbcoordz = tblocation.z;

Note that you also get the region name and region-local coordinates in the custom HTTP request headers 'X-SecondLife-Region' and 'X-SecondLife-Local-Position', though you'll have to do very similar parsing to that of the normal vector syntax.

See http://www.lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llHTTPRequest

the example I give above does not work
the location.x fails as a type mismatch. Not sure I am doing this correctly. grrr

try (string) before location.x like (string)location.x

Thanks. That got me closer. this part compiles aok:

string tbcoordx = (string)tblocation.x;
string tbcoordy = (string)tblocation.y;
string tbcoordz = (string)tblocation.z;

But it still fails with type mismatch on the "&tbcoordx=" + (string)tbcoordx part below:



gMyRequest = llHTTPRequest("http://www.mywebsite/myphp/TBinsert.php", [HTTP_METHOD, "POST", HTTP_MIMETYPE, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"], "tbowner="+(string)tbowner+"&tbname="+(string)tbname + "&tbregion="+(string)tbregion + "&tblocation=" + (string)tblocation + "&tbownerKey=" + (string)tbownerKey)+
"&tbcoordx= "+(string)tbcoordx + "&tbcoordy=" + (string)tbcoordy + "&tbcoordz=" + (string)tbcoordz ;
}

thanks for your help.

Are you sure it is a type mismatch now? You don't have a closing right-parenthesis after the last term in your expression ("string)tbcoordz ;".

I am doing something similar on a project I have been working on. Without seeing your entire script, all I can do is tell you what is working for me.

first I did this -

float Locx;
float Locy;
float Locz;

For what I am doing I wanted them rounded so after I called llGetPos() I did -

Locx = llRound(location.x);
Locy = llRound(location.y);
Locz = llRound(location.z);

Then in my llHTTPRequest is where I did -

"&var1="+(string)Locx+"&var2="+(string)Locy+"&var3="+(string)Locz

AHH! geez. I did have the right-parenthesis but I forgot to remove it from the one before it! its working now. your great! thanks
