I've been looking at the XML commands and am feeling a bit overwhelmed.
My needs are simple and I'm hoping there's an easy solution that I'm
just missing. I have a hunk of well-formed XML in a variable, $xml, and
it contains only one instance of pricex.xx/price. I just want to
get the $price out of $xml. What's the simplest way?
Simplest?
$xml = file_get_contents('...');
$parts = explode('price', $xml);
$price = $parts[1];
$parts = explode('/price', $price);
$price = $parts[0];
XML fans now all want to kill me, but there it is.

If you are using PHP5 check out SimpleXML (http://php.net/simplexml) On Apr 1, 2005 10:53 PM, Brian Dunning [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been looking at the XML commands and am feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Re: [PHP] Easy way to grab a value out of XML?
you can handle xml output as if a string file, then easily parse xml file
with preg_match / preg_match_all,
smt like this can do the job:
?php
$str=xml version bla
blapricesomevaluehere/pricepricesomevaluehere2/pricepricesomevaluehere2/priceetc;
preg_match_all(/price([^])*\/price/i, $str, $matches);
echo count($matches[0]);
for ($i=0; $i count($matches[0]); $i++) {
echo 'br + '.$matches[0][$i];
}
?
but you'd better learn to handle xml files via xml parsers.

Re: [PHP] Easy way to grab a value out of XML?
The XML functions really aren't that hard to use. If you just want a
simple parse to pick out something have a look at:
for PHP4: http://php.net/xml_parse_into_struct
for PHP5: http://php.net/simplexml_load_file
