Re: [PHP] XML parsing without the PHP4 XML functions

[Shaun Batterton]

Wddx may also be an option.  That would allow you to serialize the xml
into php variables so that you could use them in your example.  But if
your provider won't compile xml in, I doubt you'll be able to get wddx.

 Hello all
 
 I have recently been assigned the task of parsing an xml file and format the 
 contents of the file in HTML. The xml file lies on another server. Our web 
 space provider does not provide the XML functions (nor is he willing to 
 install them) :-gr.
 
 I am sure that I am not the only who has come across this problem.
 
 Would someone have already created a few functions to parse xml that they 
 are willing to share?
 
 I have the following structure to deal with:
 
 faq
   item
 productProductName/product
 questionWhy does it not work/question
 answerBecause it is not turned onanswer
   item
 /faq
 
 There are whole load of items in the file.
 
 I then want to display the contents a bit like this:
 
 echo $product;
 echo $question;
 
 etc (of course with some HTML formatting, like a bulleted list).
 
 Any help would be really VERY appreciated!
 
 Thanks

Re: [PHP] calling static class functions using a function variable

[Shaun Batterton]

Well, essentially, a static class method is a method that can be called
without any instances of the class.  It's just a nice way to group
functions for your class.  

Check out chapter 13 of the php manual:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php
"Static class methods are apparently supported in php v4.02"... using
:: notation.

 Perhaps this:
 
 $j1 = "xml";
 $j2 = "hi_handler";
 $j1::$j2();
 
 Wait.  Are you saying you don't have an instance of an xml object?...  I'm
 surprised you can even call xml::hi_handler() without one in the first
 place
