I am using a json file to create a chatbot.
If i type in "good idea!" the Bot responses "No Problem :D".
But I dont want the Bot to respond to this with, "Thats Nice! :D". (The Bot responses with this when die User says he is doing fine/good)
What I want to do, is to type in sentences that the Bot should ignore.
Is this possible?
I tried somethings, but it didnt work...

Hopefully this is simple issues, where I have obviously missed something in the RTFM.
I have an application I am integrating Fine Uploader, and I have it working now in terms of uploading files to the server. The only issue is that I need to take some action on the client side each time the user successfully uploads a file.
In short I would like to have a hidden input field with a comma separated list of files which have been successfully been uploaded.
In my JSON response from my server side implementation. I am of course including "success: true". In addition I have a entry called "file: /path/to/savedUpload.file".
So when an upload is performed successfully, I just need to know how to call my own method with the json response passed in so I can take care of managing the hidden input element.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

I know it's a stupid question, but if I fill a form with various inputs but I don't give them a name and id, and I POST it to a php page, does the posted query contain any data?
If it does, then using inputs without names in a form result in a wasted sending time. am I right?
Is there any difference between GET and POST in this case?
I presume that the browser (client-side) determines what to send and what to not send.
I'll try to see what happens if i send a GET request: if in the browser bar appear something, some data has been sent.
But the POST method is still a mistery for me... when I have time I'll try to print the $_POST array. thanks for the "input" #MattP
I update my question after somebody attack: I printed down the result of $_POST and $_GET, but still, I think the only answer to my question is to check the weight of the data, not the things recognized by the server. If i send unnamed data to the server, the server may discard that ad take only the ones with the name.
(sorry for the bad english)
No, they won't get the data. id is optional, but for PHP to do anything it requires the name attribute.
Can any one please explain me action attribute do take local disk file and work with get and post method to send and retrieve data back. I want explanation and example both.
Please and thanks for help
Try reading a little bit more about HTML forms and make some tutorials, action is sort of the "link" you are going to send the information of the form to. That "link" can then ask for the information that has been passed to it through the form fields.
Searching in google returned quite a few nice places to start with:
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp
http://www.tizag.com/htmlT/forms.php/
The first link I gave says:
The data is sent to the page specified in the form's action attribute. The file defined in the action attribute usually does something with the received input
and the second one says:
HTML form elements rely on action and method attributes to identify where to send the form data for processing (action) and how to process the data (method)
That is a good point of start. Give them a try, read some more and if you are still having trouble, come back for some more help.
I can already use jQuery.post to send JSON data to the server, but I can't find a way to have the response replace my current page just as a regular old POST would when using plain HTML.
The only way I know right now to come close is to create a dummy form, add the JSON data as a value, then trigger submit. This seems like a big hack and also requires the server side to know where to look for this value (whereas it automatically detects JSON when jQuery sends it).
Please tell me there's a better way!
Example desired usage (note that I don't want the data encoded in the URL):
magic_load_page('/page', {'foo':'bar', 'list':[1,4,9,16]}); // uses POST request
If you view the source of a Google+ profile page, it appears rather complex. It seems most of the data is kept in a huge JSON-like objects. However, they don't seem to be really JSON, since they don't get recognized when I try to decode them. I am hoping the format is more clear to other people here. How would you go about parsing it? It seems it would fairly trivial, if you know where to start.
Here is a sample profile, for example: http://plus.google.com/104560124403688998123
Here's a PHP API I'm working on. It can download and parse the data for a profile page and people's public relationships.

The JSON piece is a bit mangled. To generate valid JSON, you basically have to remove the first 5 characters that prevent XSRF attacks and then add in all the nulls that have been removed. Here's the code specific to handling parsing the weird Google Plus JSON responses:
https://github.com/jmstriegel/php.googleplusapi/blob/master/lib/GooglePlus/GoogleUtil.php
Call GoogleUtil::FetchGoogleJSON( $url ) and you'll get back a giant array that you can then pull data from. Using this, it should be trivial to make a proxy service to translate stuff into valid json(p) for you to use in your own apps.
I don't have access to Google+ yet, so I'll just answer the general question - that is, how to parse JSON.
JSON is just JavaScript, so parsing it is as simple as evaluating the script. To do this, use the eval() JavaScript function.
var obj = eval('{"JSON":"goes here"}');
Another option is to leverage a console tool. Popular modern browsers pretty much all have them. I recommend Firebug for Firefox in particular.
Using Firefox, log into Google+, then open the Firebug console. You can use the console's dir() command to create a browseable representation of the data. Ex:
console.dir(eval('{"JSON":"goes here"}'));
Sorry I can't be more specific about how to get a handle on Google+'s JSON in particular; without access to the service, this is about the best I can do blind. Good luck!
Thanks to Jason for the excellent php class which reads a profile page into an array.
I've used this class as a base and then parsed it, based upon Russell Beattie's python code from the original appspot rss feed application.

A few notes:
I use this to merge G+ and WP feeds, hence writing posts into an intermediate array ($items).
I have a convention of creating a pseudo title in Google Plus posts, by emboldening a line and adding two newlines before writing the post. The function getTitle strips this out as a better formatted title in my website and getSummary produces the rest of the post with duplicating the title.
It's made up of a number of parts, an object describing your picasa images, one describing the fields on your profile, one describing your friends.
Most of the long numbers are the internal IDs of people, posts and photos. For instance, my ID is 105249724614922381234. Other than that, it could be parsed if you needed to.
