I tried this, with several variations,
and I have come to the conclusion that it is impossible
to add a tree to a node as I asked using only simplexml functions.
If you have such a solution, I would love to see it.

If you would like an example, I might want to add the item:

  Smith, J
  PHP for dummies
  OUP


My solution, for what it is worth, is something like
-
$docA = new DOMDocument;
$docB = new DOMDocument;

$docB->loadXML($book);

$xpath = new DOMXPath($docB);
$nodes = $xpath->query('//catalog/book');
foreach($nodes as $n) {
  $new = $docA->importNode($n, true);
  $docA->documentElement->appendChild($new);
}

$output = $docA->save("/tmp/catalog.xml");

This doesn't work.
It allows to add a child with some text, as in your example.
But it doesn't allow you to add a tree, ie a node with sub-nodes,
which is what I was looking for.

If it does, could you give an example where eg the item to add is

  Smith, J
  PHP for dummies
  OUP

[PHP] Re: Simple question

[Andy Higgins]

Hi Lab,

I normally use code of the following format, which I think is quite neat:

//Note that you do not need curely brackets in an "if" statement is there is
only one line
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
$add  = $HTTP_POST_VARS['textbox'];

if ($add == 'Hello')
do something

//It is however recommended that you do the following in order to ensure
that a user does not try to use malicious code in their input

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
$add  = clean($HTTP_POST_VARS['textbox'], 20);;

if ($add == 'Hello')
do something

where clean() is a function defined in an include as follows:

function clean($input, $maxlength)
{
$input = substr($input, 0, $maxlength);
$input = EscapeShellCmd($input);
return ($input);
}

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Andy

You probably need to have some variant of:


action
comedy
etc


instead of whatever you have now.

Try http://www.idocs.com/tags/forms/  

Also (as the definitive reference for html) http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/
 

Once you've got html forms working okay, then the fields you've "name"d in
your form are available as variables in the php page the form submits to
(the action property of the form tag, which can be the same page).

Re: [PHP] Re: Simple Question

[J.F.Kishor]

hello,
I don't know how for I got your problem but, If you trying to
print a string like this

eg : print "This is Tom's book";

In the above case you need not use a back slash to escape the single quote
coz' php accepts single quote's within a double quote.

Otherwise you can use stripslashes()

which works like this.
  
   string stripslashes(string str);

   Returns a string with backslashes stripped off. (\' becomes ' and so
   on.) Double backslashes are made into a single backslash.

- JFK

do a header re-direct.

header("Location: http://domain.com/page.php";);

include any variables you want, inc session vars if needed.

Hello,

Is there a way to "post" to a script without any user interventions... e.g
The user posts to a script, and the script posts back to the original one.

Thanks!

[PHP] Re: Simple Question: PHP, MySQL, HTML Form and NULL

[Fred]

Your form returns the date as an empty string "" which is an invalid date.
MySQL sets all invalid dates to -00-00.  There is a big difference
between an empty string and NULL.  If you want to insert NULL into the MySQL
date field you will need to insert "/0" which is the escape sequence for
NULL.

In the script that inserts the form data just add something like:
if ($Date == "") $Date = "/0";
somewhere before the insert.

Checkdate is the solution for that:
checkdate (int month, int day, int year)
