Ok....Thanks to all those who are helping me (sorry for cross-posting)... My scripts are working great except for one thing....when it queries the db there are some fields that have a NULL value, thus when it writes the XML file it does this: <null_field></null_field>
What I would like to do is either place an in the XML tags for all of these NULL fields - can I do an if / else statement in the code I am using below?? $phone_list = fopen("/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/test/phone_list.xml", "w+"); fwrite($phone_list, "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\"?>\n"); fwrite($phone_list, "<?xml-stylesheet type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"phone_list.xsl\"?>\n\n"); fwrite($phone_list, "<test>\n"); fwrite($phone_list, "\t<phone_list>\n"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) { $name = $row["name"]; $ext = $row["ext"]; $title = $row["title"]; $home = $row["home"]; $pager = $row["pager"]; $cell = $row["cell"]; $email = $row["email"]; fwrite($phone_list, "\t\t<employee>\n"); fwrite($phone_list, "\t\t\t<name>"); fwrite($phone_list, "$name"); fwrite($phone_list, "</name>\n"); fwrite($phone_list, "\t\t\t<ext>"); // would need an if / else statement here fwrite($phone_list, "$ext"); // end if / else statement here fwrite($phone_list, "</ext>\n"); } fwrite($phone_list, "\t</phone_list>\n"); fwrite($phone_list, "</test>"); fclose($phone_list); ?> Should you have any questions, comments or concerns, feel free to call me at 318-338-2034.
