Hi,
I am having a couple of difficulties with a script to parse XML. This may
well be because my 16 month kid was up all night, but I'm banging my head
against a wall right now.
The script quite easily extracts one of the entries listed under <DATA_2>
but doesnt list the other. This is my first look into parsing XML, so I am
not sure of the terminology :-). How can I have both entries in this XML
file parsed to an array that I can use to build a table. (I just really need
the array, I can take it from there).
Thanks !
Phil
Here's my code (please let me know if I'm missing anything really simple):
============================
== PHP CODE
============================
<?
$data = file_get_contents('db_list.xml');
$ret = array();
$hash_stack = array();
$parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_parser_set_option($parser,XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING,0);
xml_parser_set_option($parser,XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE,1);
xml_parse_into_struct($parser,$data,$values,$tags);
xml_parser_free($parser);
foreach ($values as $key => $val) {
if($val['type'] == "open") {
array_push($hash_stack, $val['tag']);
}
elseif($val['type'] == "close") {
array_pop($hash_stack);
}
elseif($val['type'] == "complete") {
array_push($hash_stack, $val['tag']);
eval("\$ret[" . implode($hash_stack, "][") . "] =
'{$val[value]}';");
array_pop($hash_stack);
}
}
print_r($ret);
?>

<?xml version="1.0"?>
