# sq-wikiquote
Get authors and quotes from wikiquote.org. Since user-edited Wikiquote pages are not formatted consistently some quotes are not included. There are over 100,000 quotes from over 7,000 authors.
## Usage
### Get quotes from an individual author:
```php
get_author_quotes('Richard Stallman');
for($i = 0; $i < count($quotes); $i++)
{
print($quotes[$i] . "\n\n");
}
```

```
### Get names by page "List_of_people_by_name,_C", etc.:
```php
get_pages();
$c_names = $wikiquote->get_authors($pages[2]); // List_of_people_by_name,_C
for($i = 0; $i < count($c_names); $i++)
{
print($c_names[$i] . "\n\n");
}
```

### Write all quotes to a MySQL database:
Creates three tables (`quotes`, `authors`, and `relations`) and makes inserts.
* `quotes` contains quote length information, the quote's author, and the quote itself.
* `authors` contains the names of authors and their quote count.
* `relations` contains quote authors that appear in a given author's Wikipedia page. (ex: Plato and Hannibal appear as links in Alexander the Great's Wikipedia article, so they are included as `relations` for Alexander the Great.)
```php
conn($server, $username, $pw, $db);
$wikiquote->create_tables();
$wikiquote->write_db();
$wikiquote->write_relations();
```
```
