Thanks Bastien!
That worked very well. I now see the attributes. However it does not  
load the root node?
I am going to need that node to display too. Any thoughts as to why it  
is not showing?
I just copied and pasted your code. I'm going to look at some docs to  
see if I can find out why,

but if you know, please let me know your solution. Thanks again.

Philip :

Try this:

Client:

$client = new SoapClient( null, array( 'encoding' => 'utf-8', 'soap_version'

 'uri' => 'tns: Server', 'location' => 'php

// Cut off , to not have two xml start
tag in the soap message.
$xmlres = $client->__soapCall( 'ProXML', array( str_replace( ''."\n", '', $sXml )));

echo '', $xmlres, ''; // print the xml output or
var_export($xmlres, true) if $xmlres is an array.


SERVER:


class Receiver
{
public function ProXML ( $sXML )
{

libxml_use_internal_errors(true); // enabled use libxml errors

// try..catch to cacth simplexmlelement errors
try
{
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement( '' . $sXML ); // Try to create a xml object with the string
passed
} catch (Exception $e) {

$aErrors = libxml_get_errors(); // get errors

Assunto: [PHP] XML/PHP web service

Greetings all,

I am looking for some options here.

I am in need of creating a service on our web server that will always be
available and automated.
It will accept an XML file.

I will be checking to see if the XML file is valid and then passing it on to
another server.
But I need to accept this file without using a submit form.
I have never done anything like this and looking for ideas.

I am using a lamp environment and looking for suggestions.

I am looking to set this up so that our vendors can set up scripts to
automatically post XML files to our servers.

Blessed Be

Phillip

Re: [PHP] XML/PHP web service

[Robert Cummings]

Hi Philip,

Tell them they can POST submissions to:

https://www.acme.com/xml-submission

Then tell them what fields are supported. Presumably you will support 
the following POST fields as a minimum (as if they were on a form):


username
password
xml

Your handler should also provide some feedback about whether the 
submission was successful of not. You can simply return output of a 1 
for success, a 0 for failure, or if you want to go whole hog you can 
output an XML response for which you can have much greater granularity 
for the response.


Cheers,
Rob.

Just set up your php script as if it were accepting input from a form
submission. All you're doing is not showing the form. Imagine it like a
form set up on someone else's server with the action attribute pointing to
your script.

The xml_parser_create() function is in the XML extension, not in the
libxml extension.

php --re libxml
vs
php -d extension=php_xml.dll --re xml

Assuming php_xml.dll is available (may need to be .so rather than .dll
for non windows).

php -m

look for XML

php --rf xml_parser_create

look for

Function [  function xml_parser_create ] {

  - Parameters [1] {
Parameter #0 [  $encoding ]
  }
}

[PHP] XML enabled but not working

[Matthew Pounsett]

I seems to behaving issues with php5 on one particular server, and I haven't 
been able to find the issue.  Basically, php says XML is enabled, but xml 
functions are missing.

> php -i | grep "XML support"
libXML support => active

> echo "" | php
Fatal error: Call to undefined function xml_parser_create() in - on line 1

The machine in question is FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE running the most recent ports of 
php5 and expat.

What's baffling is that this is a basically identical configuration to another 
server where php is behaving just fine.  I haven't been able to find the 
variation yet.  

Anyone have any thoughts on what to look at?

Depends whether you want strings or not. $book->name is a  
SimpleXMLElement object, so if you want the string value it needs to  
be cast to a string. This will be implicitly done if you use the  
variable where PHP would expect a string, but in the name of  
defensive programming I always cast XML values to the type I expect/ 
want them to be.


Remove the casts in that snippet and run it - you'll see the  
variables are not strings.


Ah, thanks for that information. I guess I have just been lucky so  
far. I will update my code and my style there to make it more accurate  
and defensible.

For a truly quick and dirty config, then just use PHP.

A similar mechanism is used by PhD - the PHP Documentation building tool.

 'value1');

// Load the saved config.
$loadedConfig = include './config.inc';

// Merge configs.
$config = array_merge($config, $loadedConfig);

// Manipulate config.
$config['item1'] = 'value2';

// Save config.
file_put_contents('./config.inc', '

For config files I would suggest plain text config files - in the style of

php has built-in functions for reading those, so parsing them is very
fast and easy. See

I was thinking along the lines of using it as a intermediary.. Basically make a 
system that would take my raw data, throw it into XML, and then out to the web, 
database, or something else I haven't thought of.. If I was going into database 
I could create an abstraction layer using XML and format all the data before 
inserting it into specific fields... 

Now that I typed it I'm not sure it would work like I want it to But that 
was my thinking at the time.

Although I could write a system that would generate the XML from content in a 
database and then parse it as an rss feed, and insert it into a calendar 
system... (If that was needed)

Right now the question is purely academic  so I'm coming up with this stuff as 
I'm typing hehe :)

I think it is pretty useful, not for internals, but to communicate with 
other apps such as Adobe Flash or any other system which involves 
trespassing information.


SimpleXML is very easy to work with, you'll only need a valid XML file 
to read in case of reading. If you need CDATA support, SimpleXML can be 
extended with this:

  Like every other technology, XML needs to have a use before it becomes
a useful tool. Just using XML because it's available quickly leads to
headaches, as it isn't the best tool for all scenarios (config files
written in XML for instance). That said, XML is awesome for a lot of
things ... however, without having a better grasp of XML you're
unlikely to know whether it'll fit your needs.

If for no other reason, learning XML and related technologies is worth
it simply because the rest of the world uses it. So get to know it,
then you'll be able to actually judge if your project can benefit from
it.

I started looking at XML about 8-9 years ago and at first dismissed it
as just another way to gobble up CPU-cycles.  Later on, I began to
appreciate some of the really cool stuff you can achieve with XSLT, and
today I would not want to be without XML.

Personally I've always considered xml as a format only for transferring data. A 
lot of popular file formats are xml-based, such as the open office formats. 
Then there's things like xhtml, svg, etc which are all xml formats. Property 
thought out, xml can be used very well for internal or proprietary formats. If 
you need a guide on how not to do it, search the daily wtf archives for xml!

[PHP] XML with PHP

[Sridhar Pandurangiah]

Hi

I am trying to read XML files (invoices) from a directory and display
them to the visitor. Each XML file contains several invoices. The
visitor then clicks on the XML file (invoices). My PHP snippet should
open the xml file and locate the appropriate invoice and display the
content.

I have managed to list the directory contents using the following PHP
snippet. The function call below DisplayBill($MemberId, $FileName,
$StyleSheet) should take the memberid (login), the xml file name which
has been clicked and the stylesheet to be used.

I now have the following doubts for which I need clarifications

Architecturally is it necessary the DisplayBill should be a seperate php
file or can it exist as a function in the same file as the code below?

Should the Invoices be displayed as a web form for me to capture the

honestly, that's a little bit too "i'm writing code and solving all

actually do the code, not read about it and try to figure it out from

a) first, your email address isn't correct

b) second, it looks like you intend on applying a stylesheet to get
your results. if you don't require XSL, you could look at just using
PHP's simplexml and/or XML DOM functions. it looks like you might just
be using the XSL to transform the XML anwyay; so from what it looks
like you -do not- need XSL in the mix.

c) you can put the PHP in any file you want

d) i believe xpath should work without any problems.

[PHP] XML with PHP

[user]

Hi

I am trying to read XML files (invoices) from a directory and display 
them to the visitor. Each XML file contains several invoices. The 
visitor then clicks on the XML file (invoices). My PHP snippet should 
open the xml file and locate the appropriate invoice and display the 
content.


I have managed to list the directory contents using the following PHP 
snippet. The function call below DisplayBill($MemberId, $FileName, 
$StyleSheet) should take the memberid (login), the xml file name which 
has been clicked and the stylesheet to be used.


I now have the following doubts for which I need clarifications

Architecturally is it necessary the DisplayBill should be a seperate php 
file or can it exist as a function in the same file as the code below?


Should the Invoices be displayed as a web form for me to capture the 
user click to retrieve the appropriate file and invoice so that I can 
display it to the user.


I intend to parse the XML file using XPath (at this stage I am not sure 
if php supports Xpath and XQuery!)


Any help would be appreciated

Hi Tom,

Remember, the namespace is the uri, and the prefix is merely a short-hand:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/

When using simple xml objects, you can
directly reference elements by using the namespace:
http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2005/10/20/simplexml-and-namespaces/

However,
my preference is to use XPath capabilities, and I've processed a couple
elements on your example to demonstrate how this works:

$doc = <<

NOAA-NWS-ALERTS National
2010-08-21T13:26:34-04:00

$cap->registerXPathNamespace('cap', 'http://www.incident.com/cap/1.0');
echo 'Message type:'.current($cap->xpath('//cap:msgType')).'';
echo 'Info category:'.current($cap->xpath('//cap:info/cap:category')).'';

Hope this helps,

"foo" is syntax that means a "street2" element with one 
child node: text node "foo".

"" and "" are different syntax that mean the same 
thing: a "street2" element with no child nodes.

Your JS property lookup fails because the "street2" element has no child nodes. 
Rather than changing your XML serialization to have some sort of opaque 
meaning, why not do one of the following in your JS?

   1. Test to see if the element in question has any child nodes before 
attempting to access the first one:

   if (x[i].getElementsByTagName("street2")[0].childNodes.length > 0) ...

   2. Use the "textContent" and "innerText" properties to get the text of 
all/any child nodes.

Why PEAR? That looks almost exactly like SimpleXML.

I use DOMDocument.
It works best if the input file you are reading is UTF-8.

It has some issues I haven't yet figured out related to namespaces, 
sometimes when loading perfectly valid XML that uses namespaces for 
import into another document, I lose the namespace and get "default" 
prepended to the node name. I do not understand why it feels it needs to 
do this, but it apparently does in some cases.


For those cases, I currently use hackish workarounds where I remove the 
namespace with a preg_replace before import into the DOM and then add 
the namespace again using the DOM tools after it has been imported.


Where I have run into this problem is MathML and SVG within XHTML when I 
cache the MathML/SVG as a string in APC for import into documents.


It is not so much an issue with SVG in XHTML as SVG probably is best 
done as an object rather than directly embedded (but when generating SVG 
via DOMDocument I have a similar problem if I am using xlink namespace) 
but it is a problem with MathML which is usually done inline.


It could just be that I'm doing things wrong, but the documentation 
isn't exactly full of working example code.


So anyway, if you use namespaces, you may run into a few frustrating 
kinks, but DOMDocument is what I use, and it is very convenient because 
it is very similar to the JavaScript DOM2 methods (I believe intentionally).

Well, don't forget, Fx will correct SGML and HTML that is missing tags.

I think Fx would rather simply accept the incorrect format, correct it (since it
wasn't a fatal error), and finally display what it figures you /intended/ to
send it.

I hate it when software tries to assume what I meant to say...  :-(

[PHP] XML RSS - Unexpected End of File error

[Ashley Sheridan]

Hi guys,

I've knocked up a quick RSS feed on my site. It works fine in Fx 2 & 3,
in Opera it throws an error "unexpected end of file" but allows the feed
to be added anyway, and Chrome just says there's an XML error, and gives
the second from last line as the one containing the error.

I tried adding a newline to the end of the file, but that just makes the
error message report the next line. Any ideas where I'm going wrong? The
file is using utf-8 character encoding.

Thanks,
Ash

Does the xml string get passed to htmlentities() or a similar

Nope the string doesn't get passed into any function.
Here is the XML:

Well i'll pop the PHP down here, i'll trim it as much as i can:


$code = $_POST['code'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$desc = $_POST['desc'];
$size = $_POST['size'];
$price = $_POST['price'];


#load an XML document into the DOM

$dom = new DomDocument();
$dom -> load("items.xml");

#create elements

$Xitem =  $dom -> createElement("item");
$Xcode =  $dom -> createElement("code");
$Ximage =  $dom -> createElement("image");
$Xname =  $dom -> createElement("name");
$Xdesc = $dom -> createElement("desc");
$Xsize = $dom -> createElement("size");
$Xprice = $dom -> createElement("price");

#create text nodes

$Xcodetext =  $dom -> createTextNode($code);
$Ximagetext =  $dom -> createTextNode( "" );
$Xnametext =  $dom -> createTextNode($name);
$Xdesctext = $dom -> createTextNode($desc);
$Xsizetext =$dom -> createTextNode($size);
$Xpricetext =$dom -> createTextNode($price);

#append the text nodes to the inner nested elements

$Xcode  -> appendChild($Xcodetext);
$Ximage  -> appendChild($Ximagetext);
$Xname  -> appendChild($Xnametext);
$Xdesc -> appendChild($Xdesctext);
$Xsize-> appendChild($Xsizetext);
$Xprice-> appendChild($Xpricetext);

#append the inner nested elements to the  element

$Xitem -> appendChild($Xcode);
$Xitem -> appendChild($Ximage);
$Xitem -> appendChild($Xname);
$Xitem -> appendChild($Xdesc);
$Xitem -> appendChild($Xsize);
$Xitem -> appendChild($Xprice);
$Xitem -> setAttribute("Code",$code);

#append the  element to the root element

$dom -> documentElement -> appendChild($Xitem);

#create a new enlarged xml document

$dom -> save("items.xml");

_
It looks like it's because you are creating an image object by  
appending

a text node inside CDATA to it. My guess is that a text node will have
the contents automatically made 'safe' for the XML entities which  
are <,

, &, etc.


Why are you appending the child item like this? What's wrong with  
adding

it as a proper object, attributes and all?

Hi Ash,

Thanks for getting back to me,
In all honesty this method is what's implemented in the course book  
i've been following.


I been using XML longer and i've never had this issue using image tags  
before and getting the output I expected.
Is there a way around this safety mechanism ?  Otherwise i'll have to  
think of another way of doing this.


Cheers.

Perhaps you'd be so kind as to share with us what code you're using to
generate the erroneous XML?

I've tried that but no matter what i do in the PHP side of things, as  
soon as I save that XML the conversion takes place.
Should the XML be encoded in any way, is there a setting somewhere  
that prevents this ?

Does the xml string get passed to htmlentities() or a similar function before 
it is sent to the browser? That would explain the substitutions. I saw an 
xmlentities() variation mentioned somewhere.

[PHP] XML. Prevent < from turning into <

[Matthew Croud]

Hiya,
I'm writing an app that let's my client upload images, the image html  
code is added to an XML file.

Take a look at the  element below:


e1022


Blue Ski Trousers
8.99
  

Now, whenever PHP writes this to the XML files, it turns the < and >  
into < and > . which means it does not display on the webpage.   
How can I prevent this from happening ?


Many thanks,
Matt

Hi Igor

I don't have anything handy, but there's plenty of good material on the
internet about XSLT.  The main point is - XSLT is just reformatting the
data from XML format to a text format suitable for use as insert SQL
insert statements.  All you need to do is write the stylesheet that
takes format1 and converts it to format2. 
If you've not dealt with XSL before it can be a little daunting, but I
think you'll get the idea fairly quickly.

Write some code to read the XML file. (you could at simpleXML, or
DOMDocument-based stuff)
Write some code to write the database statements. (probably some SQL, depends on
your database)
Run the database statements. (mysql_query, pg_query, whatever)

This is a very vague question, and this list is not normally well disposed to
writing people's programs for them, especially when they look like college
assignments.

[PHP] XML manipulation

[Raido]

Hi!

Manipulating XML files with PHP is quite new thing to me, so I could 
need a bit help with it.

Here are the questions(and below are XML schema):
1) Is it possible to change those blocks order?
For example I move  below 1.1.3 and it's number 
gets changed from 1.1.1 > 1.1.3 and  1.1.2 > 1.1.1 and 1.1.3 > 1.1.2
I also should be able to change order of blocks with number="1.1" (for 
example 1.1 > 1.8 and 1.8 > 1.1)  and number="1".


2) where and how should I approach?
Theoretically I think I should make a html list from the blocks and make 
it sortable with help of jQuery... beginning doesn't seem so 
difficult..but what happends then? (SimpleXML havent helped me with 
changing order..it helps me to change and read attributes.)



So any suggestions/ideas for completing that kind of solution are welcome.


And here is the XML (simplified)structure:

When used like that 'imo' becomes a name-space. I don't know what sort
of parsing you're doing, but typically you would need to set that
first.

you could cheat and string replace the node prefix in the document

Short answer? You probably need to look at using XPath queries in
SimpleXML to get to those elements. Shorter answer? If you have to
deal with namespaces in documents, it's probably time for the project
to graduate from SimpleXML to something like DOM.

Look at the user note on this page:

Hi there,

I am trying to pars an XML file with php. This works if the xml tag 
looks like this: 88

In that case I retrieve the info: $xml->anbieternr

But now the tag looks different like this: 
88


The command $xml->imo:anbieternr does not work in that case.

Has somebody an idea how to adress this?

I believe the name() XPath function is what you are looking for. It's been a 
while since I've worked with XPath query strings, but I believe ".[name()]" 
will get you the current element's tag name. Keep in mind: I'm not sure if this 
works with namespaced tags (like ), but I have not tested 
this to be sure.

[PHP] XML -> XSLT transformation using XSLTProcessor class

[German Geek]

Hi All,

We are trying to import some xml data into the database. My idea was to make
an xslt and then transform the xml to php code which generates the queries
necessary and then gets evaled as php code for the actual import...

Anyway, i got it working (mostly)!

But i need to get the current element name with x-path. So i have the
following:


  some data 1
  some data 2
  some data 3
  some data 4
  some data 5



  //  WORKS and gives the value of
childOfA (e.g. some data 1)
  //... the php code...


In the php code, I need to get the element tag name of the current element,
so either elementA or elementB. How can i get that in an x-path expression?

I know, this is not strictly a php question, but since the project is in php
and this list has a very good response rate, i decided to ask here. I
already looked on the web for hours, but maybe i just don't have the right
keywords.

Please help. Thanks.

You can do it in a number of ways.

/* Via DOMElement */
foreach ($rooms AS $room) {

}

If you're going to set your include path properly, you might as well not put 
PEAR in htdocs, since none of those files are front-facing URLs that should be 
visited by an end user.



They belong in a non web root directory "somewhere else" to insure that there 
is NO WAY EVER that they could be visited directly by a malicious user.

PEAR has a directory structure. Duplicate it and set you include_path
accordingly. Have a look at the application structure on article my
website ( http://www.phpguru.org ) - it may be of some help.

Eg:

htdocs <-- This the document root of your website
pear

Re: [PHP] XML RSS installation

You might be interested to know that with PEAR there is absolutely no
need to use the installer at all. You may find it easier not to. For
example the file you mentioned (XML_RSS) is here:

http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pear/XML_RSS/RSS.php?revision=1.28&view=co

You will need to replicate the directory structure, but that's not
exactly a chore. This is the way I use PEAR components - I don't use
the PEAR installer at all. Personally I think this way is far more
convenient. The installer may make it easier when installing larger
packages which have a fair few files, but personally I'd still go with
this method.

[PHP] XML RSS installation

[Joe Schoemann]

I previously had my web page hosted on a shared Apache server. The web hosts
installed the PEAR modules on the system for me.

I have now decided to go to Godaddy who have a shared Linux server.

They do not install PEAR modules and I have to do myself.

I found the go-pear.php program and managed to get it to install PEAR, but
the XML_RSS was not included.

I scratched around further and found there is a file called
XML_RSS-0.9.10.tar which I have downloaded to my PC.

I can upload it to my web site with FTP but I don't know where to put it or
what to do with it.

I have been at this for 3 days now and need some help, what must I do now to
get the RSS working. 

 

Yours truly,

 

Joe
