I put the above xml text into an xml editor and it tests as valid,
despite its raggedness, and I did manage to get it to parse with
simplexml, using the following:
$string = the above xml;
$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);
foreach($xml->Item as $item ){
trim($item->Label);
echo $item->Label . "";
if(isset($item->Tekst)) {
trim($item->Tekst);
echo $item->Tekst . "";
}
}

Hi List
I have taken the advice of a number of people on the list and am back trying to
write my XML parser using SimpleXML. I am having a problem and I believe the
problem is my lack of understanding of arrays and simpleXML in spite of much
google searching and manual reading. I would appreciate some help.
The piece of XML I am parsing is as follows. I am working with a small section
to see if I can get my head around it.
AA
PR
If I use the following
$file = "test.xml";
$data = simplexml_load_file($file);
Just to confirm your data structure, do a var_dump($data) right here and
see what the output is
foreach ($data->vcrSummary as $vcrSummary)
{
var_dump($vcrSummary);
}
Then I get
object(SimpleXMLElement)#5 (1) {
["vcr"]=>
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(2) "AA"
[1]=>
string(2) "PR"
}
}
Which is pretty much what I would expect as there are 2 vcr tags.
If I then use
$file = "test.xml";
$data = simplexml_load_file($file);
right here you, at least from the example above, you need to be using
$data->vcrSummary as the first parameter of the foreach loop
foreach($data as $vcrSummary)
{
then here I would be using another foreach loop, because the
$vcrSummary->vcr is an array with two indexes 0 and 1... So
foreach ( $vcrSummary->vcr AS $v ) {
echo "{$v}\n";
}
$z = $vcrSummary->vcr;
print "$z \n";
}
I get 3 blank lines and then AA which is the first of the two vcr values. The
examples I am looking at suggest I should have gotten both of the vcr values.
Many of the examples I am looking at say to use echo instead of print, eg
echo $vcrSummary->vcr;
if done correctly, this should echo "Array" and maybe a warning. :(

and that just gives me AA and not both values that I would expect.
Can anyone point me in the right direction here.

What i hoped to get is an example with the xml i provided so i could work with

The example could look something like this:
Header with the selected "spell_line" name ie. "Calefaction" and below that the spell info in some
dummy table format. Then the next "spell_line" which is "Path of Earth" then with the spell info in
some dummy table setup.
Thanks for reading and i hope someone can show me the light of a real xml parse.
Hi,
Some months ago I was looking for some code for "loading" dynamic xml
data structures my php scripts. I didn't found anything simple and
flexible for my needs.
I found handy the PEAR XML_beautifier tokenizer, and then I write a
simple function to extract all the data with the right array structure
as needed for my project. A recursive function to extract tag elements
data from the tokenized arrays (attached below)
Have a look at the code below. In some lines I process part of the
contents from your xml sample file, so you can have something to get
started, it you find handy my approach.
I've attached a partial output from the data extracted by this code too.
To run the code you need PEAR and XML_Beautifier and dependencies (if
any, now don't remember if XML_parser is in the PEAR base install or not).
Have fun, :-)

If, like me, the machine in question does not have, and is unlikely to have, anything BUT the expat library in the near future, a pointer to a function that uses expat and creates something less unwieldy than the xml_parseintostruct would be most welcome...

[PHP] XML parsing
Hi, When I go thru this documentation the parsing seem to be very complex. With Java this was not the case. Assume I have XML like this: $xml = 'PeterThe group'; I would like to get the value of 'from' and 'to'. My dream function would be: $from = xml_function($xml, 'from'); $to = xml_function($xml, 'to'); Or maybe an function that create an array from the XML: $arr = xml_to_array($xml); Any one who can give a really SIMPLE example of this? I would LOVE you.
[PHP] XML Parsing german special chars
I did some easy xml parsing on the last.fm[1] recent tracklist.
I do read in all the tracks and output them encoded with htmlentities().
A lot of german special chars like the Ä (Ä) are transfered to
strange followings of an A with any sort of available accent. But it
isn't replaced by Ä
The xml file does not contain any character encoding information, so how
could I tell htmlentities(), there might be some character in the
string, which might be a german special char.
I never encountered any problems when writing htmlentities('Ähre'); or
$var = 'Ähre';
htmlentities($var);
but only if I take the strings out of the xml file.
If I output the whole xml file all characters are shown as they are
supposed to, only if i do the encoding by htmlentities() I get those
weird accented letters.
any suggestions how to fix this?
thanks,
Norbert
PS: code and link to the output page can be given if needed.

Do you actually have data in two diferent formats in the same XML file, or can
you just change xml_parser_create to UTF-8 and be done with it? Does the XML
standard even allow multiple encodings???

"The greatest mistake is to imagine that the human being is an autonomous
individual. The secret freedom which you can supposedly enjoy under a
despotic government is nonsense, because your thoughts are never entirely
your own. Philosophers, writers, artists, even scientists, not only need
encouragement and an audience, they need constant stimulation from other
people. It is almost impossible to think without talking. If Defoe had really
lived on a desert island, he could not have written Robinson Crusoe, nor
would he have wanted to. Take away freedom of speech, and the creative
faculties dry up."

[PHP] XML Parsing....
Hi Everyone!
I'm having a little trouble understanding how exactly to use the XML
parser. I haven't found the right settings to set up the XML Parser's
option because of no definition of the encoding setting in the XML tags I
received. So, I'll post the script here and hope to get some feedback on
this...
--snip--
$data = "";
//Lots of XML tags goes here but is taken out for shorter
scripting
$data = " ";
//Lots of other XML tags goes here but is taken out for shorter
scripting
$data = " ]]>";
//Lots of other XML tags goes here but is taken out for shorter
scripting
$data .= "";
$parser = xml_parser_create('ISO-8859-1');
xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE, 1);
xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, 0);
xml_parse_into_struct($parser, $data, $vals, $index);
xml_parser_free($parser);
--snip--
The problem here is that I have like two different XML encoding
format
Thanks,

[PHP] XMl Parsing within PHP
Hi, I am trying to create a Class that will parse an XML document. It all works fine as individual functions but I cant get it to work as a class. For example, when I do the following in my class: xml_set_element_handler($this->xml_parser, '$this->startElement', "$this->endElement"); xml_set_character_data_handler($this->xml_parser, "$this->valueHandler"); I get an error message: Warning: xml_parse(): Unable to call handler $thiss->startElement() in c:\program files\apache group\php\My_includes\Class.xmlTranslator.php on line 90 Now I presume this is because I am trying to call methods of my class. Does anyone know a good way around this? Thanks.

[PHP] xml parsing
Hi! I understand that it's easily possible to parse xml documents with php. But what about changing them? With other xml parsers, I have the xml document in a structure (usually a tree or an array) and when I change something in the structure I can later "write out" the structure again into a xml file and get a changed xml file that way. Is this possible easily with PHP too? Thanks Mike --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

[PHP] xml parsing (while loop question)
Hi,
I have Marc Robards article on XML Parsing with PHP
(wirelessdevnet.com).. which talks about parsing an XML FILE. My XML is
from a remote server (used curl to get it back to PHP as a variable).
How do I change the following while to read from variable instead of
file without getting these lame "XML error: junk after document element
at line 1"?
while($data=fread($fp, 4096)){
if(!xml_parse($sml_parser, $data, feof($fp))){
die.
}
}
What I tried was $data being the variable containing xml from remote
host.. so I say
while($data){
}
which works but when it gets to the end it dies with:
XML error: junk after document element at line 1
Can anybody help me? Can anybody see? Sundays on the phone with
monday.. sorry beatles flashback. I am not the walrus but I'm not a
newbie either.. so very sorry for this newbie-esque question.
Kris

Re: [PHP] XML Parsing Problem
Huh - I guess it could be useful. I still think this should be an option you could set with xml_parser_set_option(), or something. In case anyone is interested, I solved the problem by creating a new global variable, $previousTag. Each time my character parsing function is called, it compares the previous tag to the current tag. If they are the same, the data gets stuffed into a buffer; if they are different, the buffer is returned, cleared, and the new data stuffed into it...and $previousTag is set to the current tag.

RE: [PHP] XML Parsing Problem
Hi there, This is not a bug.. this is expected behaviour. The string would be chopped up into 3 parts because you have : 1. a string: "Follow-up To Critique of BeOS " 2. a predefined entity : "&" 3. a string: "amp; Mac OS X" There are not actually two ampersands.. you have & followed by amp; - this is so that once it has been parsed you end up with & which will display correctly in most HTML browsers. Note that & is a usually a predefined entity in XML and so will be replaced with "&". HTH Matt. -Original Message- From: Ben Gollmer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 01 January 2002 00:23 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] XML Parsing Problem Hi all - I'm experimenting with PHP's XML parser for an application that maps XML tags to MySQL database fields. As a test for my parsing program, I've been grabbing XML from the Slashdot news feed (http://www.slashdot.org/slashdot.xml) and inserting it into a database. This is very simple data - blah gets inserted into the 'title' field, etc. However, when there are some strange characters in the title field, the XML parser seems to choke. Here is an example. The title of a recent article from Slashdot looks like this in the XML file: Follow-up To Critique of BeOS & Mac OS X Don't ask my why they have a double ampersand in there... Anyway, the XML parser returns this as three sets of data, instead of one.

[PHP] XML Parsing Problem
Hi all - I'm experimenting with PHP's XML parser for an application that maps XML tags to MySQL database fields. As a test for my parsing program, I've been grabbing XML from the Slashdot news feed (http://www.slashdot.org/slashdot.xml) and inserting it into a database. This is very simple data - blah gets inserted into the 'title' field, etc. However, when there are some strange characters in the title field, the XML parser seems to choke. Here is an example. The title of a recent article from Slashdot looks like this in the XML file: Follow-up To Critique of BeOS & Mac OS X Don't ask my why they have a double ampersand in there... Anyway, the XML parser returns this as three sets of data, instead of one. The array that I get looks like this: $myArray[0] = "Follow-up To Critique of BeOS " $myArray[1] = "&" $myArray[2] = "amp; Mac OS X" This is the data I get back from the parser, BEFORE putting it into the database. I'm echoing each array field to the screen, just to make sure. So I know it has nothing to do with MySQL. The double ampersand shouldn't make a difference - the XML parser should not be interpreting HTML...right? Also, I don't get an error code or error string from xml_parse(). Anyone have any ideas? This is a subtle bug - in fact I had been satisfied with my XML parsing code, and was well into the rest of my application when I happened to notice this.

Re: [PHP] PHP & XML Parsing
> Interesting.. So to be consistent with proper XML formatting, > should the server hosting the XML file convert the & into > & ? It depends on the situation, I believe. The server that sends you XML should indeed provide you well-formed XML, which it's not doing. Probably what should happen is that the server sending the XML should urlencode URLs in the cdata elements, and then after you parse the XML file you should urldecode the URLs. I would be surprised if this hasn't been done as some standard part of XML parsing and I've just missed it in my limited use of XML parsers. > I certainly feel like I'm missing something...

I'm not sure what results you're looking for exactly, but if you put in a bunch of echo statements at various points throughout your parsing routines, you will see that none of the "if x = y" conditions are matching. Here's what I'd recommend: 1. put in a bunch of echo statements to print out your variables at different points in your parsing, just to make sure it's doing what you expect it to. Do a full audit of your characterData routine through this method, and I think it will show you where the errors are. (I did not see the exact error right away so I gave up since I do have a day job. :-) 2. keep your first eregi_replace statement, then when you're printing out the links, re-convert it with a reverse eregi_replace to turn the & back into a simple &. This will send it to the HTML browser in the format you want, I hope. I hope this is of some help.

Interesting.. So to be consistent with proper XML formatting, should the server
hosting the XML file convert the & into & ?

I certainly feel like I'm missing something... Although I'm a bit at odds as to how
to troubleshoot this new file.
I no longer get the errors, but I'm not getting the results I'm looking for either.
The updated script is running here:
http://www.airdiv-cupe.org/portal/newsfeed_new_parser.php
I've also attached the full script (since I've made some changes to it).
Any additional help would be appreciated.

Re: [PHP] PHP & XML Parsing
Hello Fabian,
This was very helpful. Thanks for letting me know about this little glitch.
It almost resolves the problem that I was having. Now I no longer get xml
errors. However, I'm not able to output the XML either.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. The updated code is available here:
http://www.airdiv-cupe.org/portal/newsfeed_new_parser.php
And I've included the full script in the email (at the very bottom of this message).
Thanks.

Re: [PHP] PHP & XML Parsing
The problem is in your link URL, where you pass CGI parameters. When XML sees the & character, it assumes it's a special character thing such as & or ", so it's expecting a semicolon. http://cupe.ca/news/cupenews/showitem.asp?ID=2823&cl=1 Just yesterday I discovered a program called XML Spy which you can get on a 30-day eval from www.tucows.com. This was what pointed out the error to me in your file. When I was using XSL last year for the first time, I had a devil of a time figuring out how to get URLs, particularly with query strings attached, through the XML parsers. Try using the %codes in your URLs instead of & and other special characters; that should help, if I remember correctly. (Similarly, building HREF tags using XSL stylesheets seemed pretty awkward, but I'm sure I was missing some crucial tidbit of information.) Pete.

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

Re: [PHP] XML parsing without the PHP4 XML functions
I haven't done this in PHP as PHP comes w/ XML support but times past when I needed a fast way to parse something like that and knew the format would be simple I'd usually do something like make a function that knows all the possible splits w/in a layer (ie items are w/in the faq layer if they can occur inside faq tags) and then just recursively explode the string parts based on all know tags for that layer and build a nested array or prehaps nested objects. That is probably the simplist way if you don't want to mess w/ real parsing. If you have Unix access you might see if you can use Perl or a helper app to parse it into an easier to work w/ format.

Re: [PHP] XML parsing without the PHP4 XML functions
If your satisfied with IE5.0 customers you could do all that without php, use an XSL file. Now if you want PHP to parse the XML file, I can see why, your going to have to get XML installed. Have you considered other providors? there are lots. Im one of them. Ive been told there are ways of adding modules dynamically on runtime http://php.net/manual/en/function.dl.php Ive never needed it / used it. sorry :( -- Chris Lee Mediawaveonline.com em.

[PHP] XML parsing without the PHP4 XML functions
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: ProductName Why does it not work Because it is not turned on There are whole load of s 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!

[PHP] XML parsing problems..
I didn't see any responses to this the other day when I asked so this
time I'll include source.. just cutting and pasting so hopefully nothing
gets clobbered..
When I parse this lil bit of raw data it parses properly. You can trace
it and see that it opens and closes the tags properly and that it writes
the $this->dom variable properly in the parsers close_tag () function.
However when you return the $this->dom value afterwards the variables
previous value is returned rather than the current value. Any ideas what
I am doing wrong? Thanks.

[PHP] XML Parsing through Proxy
Hi Anybody got an idea?
I am sitting behind a proxy and I want to able to parse an XML.
So I have to use fsockopen() to get through my firewall and get the page.
So far, everything goes wel, but I am not able to parse the file, because I
think it is not in XML format if I use "GET http:// "
Does anyone has an idea how I can solve this?
My code so far (bits and pieces of anywhere :) )

Ok, yesterday I had problems parsing an XML from Nasdaq. Thx to Matt these
problems have been solved and I am know able to parse any XML without
problems (I hope).
But I have one question:
In order to parse an XML you have to tell your parser where to find the
document:
$xml_file = "test.xml';
This works perfectly, but If you want to get the XML files from Nasdaq you
have to say
$xml_file =
http://quotes.nasdaq.com/quote.dll?page=xml&mode=stock&symbol=NETA;
This however doe not work !!!
Why? How can I overcome this problem?

RE: [PHP] XML Parsing The Sequel II
here is come code (not exactly what you need) that sends an XML
file(variable) to an XML server, and then gets the XML response from
the server and writes it out to a file, returning the filename as the
function return for the php file to resume its processing of the file
in the XML parser (yet another function)
Tried to cut out totally irrelavent or site specific stuff, and added
a few quick comments. Hopefuly you can follow the logic.

here is some logic, I'm sure you can flesh out the code.
fopen -r the URL
read the results into a variable, fopen -w to write a local temp file
(if the parser you build actially requires a "file")
save it locally and pass the filename variable to your XML parser
function
if your parser can work from a variable, then just pass the read
variable to your parser.

I hate to ramble, but phpbuilder is a terrible site that ruins php for many newbies. -- Chris Lee Mediawaveonline.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Joe Stump" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > phpbuilder.com - there are a few articles on the site about XML > > --Joe > > On Sun, Feb 04, 2001 at 05:02:43PM +0100, Steve Haemelinck wrote: > > Where can I find some info on parsing XML with PHP? > > I am not looking for functions, but examples and explanations ! > > > > Thx > > > > > > -- > > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- > > -- - > Joe Stump, PHP Hacker, -o) > http://www.miester.org http://www.care2.com /\\ > "It's not enough to succeed.
