Fix fetching genres

[jetrosuni]

After the IMDb UI renewal the genre fetching only gets the first three genres listed in the main view and skips the rest.

Getting the genres from either /reference view or using the GraphQL API fixes the issue.

Might be worth checking if you missed the change around line 125 that adds "Reference" => "/reference" to the $pageUrls array.

Or fix it the right way

    #--------------------------------------------------------------[ Genre(s) ]---
    /** Get all genres the movie is registered for
     * @return array genres (array[0..n] of strings)
     * @see IMDB page / (TitlePage)
     */
    public function genre()
    {
        if (empty($this->moviegenres)) {
            $query = <<<EOF
query Genres(\$id: ID!) {
  title(id: \$id) {
    titleGenres {
      genres {
        genre {
          text
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
EOF;

            $data = $this->graphql->query($query, "Genres", ["id" => "tt$this->imdbID"]);
            foreach ($data->title->titleGenres->genres as $edge) {
                $this->moviegenres[] = $edge->genre->text;
            }
        }
        return $this->moviegenres;
    }

This might not exactly the same as used in this library but you get the idea

Thanks for the tactful reply I do not think I deserve it 😀 I really must learn how to apply patches better rather than doing them manually then I do not have to rely on me seeing the full patch!

Thanks as this is similar to the all keywords fix in https://github.com/tboothman/imdbphp/pull/310 fix I have decided to go with this one. I have used public function genres (plural) it works for me but as it is clear I do not have a clue what I am doing do the same at own risk :grinning:

Nope i use my own version with all GraphQL methods :) But the only thing i can't get is why everybody keeps flogging a dead horse with scraper methods while the solution is there and (as a courtesy to the users here) is presented here? If you can make a PR certainly you are capable enough to use this i presume.

The difference between my version and this one is literally 1 character: method name genre versus genres

I surely give a big thanks to @tboothman for his groundwork about GraphQL

Thanks @duck7000 my comment was mainly aimed at anyone using the patch on the @tboothman version. Sorry for the confusion. I replaced genres not genre in the @tboothman version with your suggested code.

Yes my Git experience level isn't at creating a PR yet 😢

I like the idea of the elegance of the GraphQL version. I am going to give it a try at some point soon.

I too pass on thanks to @tboothman for creating imdbphp 👍

Sorry it was intended for the person who started this PR but i'm glad you use my work!

Using GraphQL instead of scraping is the way to go, I agree. I've changed the proposed fix here to use GraphQL (thanks @duck7000 for the ready-made query).

your welcome!

And if you are interested in other methods take a look at my repo (Permission granted to use my work) https://github.com/duck7000/imdbphp6 All info is in the wiki

All the hard parts are already done, adjust it to this library is all.

Lets hope that @tboothman will merge your PR
