That should give you an array called $url of all the url attributes in
the nodes.
$url[] = $node->>getAttribute('url');
should be
$url[] = $node->getAttribute('url');
and don't forget to validate it before spitting it back out on a page

It's usually a simple thing since there are only 3 parameters so it's
something that you have likely mis-spelled or input in the wrong order.
It's not rocket science to figure it out, the docs are clear about how
it works.
But a likely guess maybe that you need to connect via localhost
instead of the full domain name.
$db=DB::connect('mysql://metheuser:myp...@localhost/mydatabase');

Hi. Our site http://rssphp.blogspot.net http://rssphp.blogspot.net is
working on providing possible solutions to the problem with different
parsing methods in PHP. It's worth to have a look at the options.

[PHP] Browser Alert
Hi gang: I just wasted a day trying to figure out why a standard html form using enctype='multipart/form-data" wasn't uploading images as it should in Safari. Sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't. Sometimes I would get the spinning "loading X" of death in the address-bar and sometimes it would simply work and upload. No changes in code, just it works sometimes and it doesn't other times. This really had me stumped. Then I tried other browsers, such as FireFox and Opera and they worked every time. This is a Safari problem. So, if you're having problems with Safari 4.0 on Mac OSX uploading files, you're not alone.

The way I've done this in the past is to use an array. Then I can
include the file, change the array and then var_export() to the file:
//config.php
'localhost',
'database' => 'database',
'username' => 'username',
'password' => 'password',
);
//file that does the changing writing
";
file_put_contents('config.php', $content);

This is probably a dumb newbie question. I am running PHP

Re: [PHP] Sessions
Hi, > .. This is precisely what I do, albeit my file is called config.php, and not init.php. Not that it makes a jot of difference. This file is used to setup the environment, so that way everything I commonly need is available simply by including one file. One thing to note though is that a database connection is not established by default. I used to get a lot of comment spam on my blog and because it was needlessly connecting to the database, it was bringing down the server. So now I simply use something like this to quickly and easily get a reference to a database object: $db = getDatabase(); Wunderbar. -- Richard Heyes HTML5 graphing: RGraph (www.rgraph.net - updated 3rd July) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Then you can add things to the DOM by making them children of the config node - and write the whole dom back to file. That way your web app does not have write permission to a file that gets executed, and you can potentially cache the DOMDocument object in memory so it doesn't have to read from file every page load to get your settings (not tried that yet myself but I don't see why you couldn't). -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The classic method is: 1.) read the whole file into an array of strings. 2.) search for the last line 3.) insert a string BEFORE the last line. 4.) write back the whole file to the same name Classic file handling does allow you to append to the end of a file, or recreate as a whole.

It's easier to maintain if you use one include file like Luke said. You won't get much overhead from a call to session_start() on a page that doesn't use sessions.

Sounds like quite a good idea. Can anyone tell me if there's any reason for not doing that, even on pages that do not require session data? Or perhaps use an htaccess file to server side include a file file to all files under an admin folder or something and another to destroy the session. I'm thinking of smaller, low-traffic sites. I know people are going to say, if they're small sites, why can't you only start sessions on the relevant pages but it sounds like it could work well for me.
