Thanks, I did actually try all 3 types of file and none of them
worked. I just didnt realise that PHP4 had changed in 5. I went back
over the tutorial. This time looking into phpsqlajax_genxml3.php as i
said i did try all 3 files intially. I just assumed i hadnt got it
right so picked one file to try and rectify. When using
phpsqlajax_genxml3.php I just get a blank output, My db is all
connected ok as i echoed out some details from it. But my page is just
blank. (Bar the header warning) :-( I'm really not supid, but i cant
see how I can be getting this wrong, all i'm doing its taking the code
from google and loading it on my server. This is my code (not that you
really need it as its off google itself)
<?php
require('connect.php');
?>
<?php
// Start XML file, create parent node
$dom = new DOMDocument("1.0");
$node = $dom->createElement("markers");
$parnode = $dom->appendChild($node);
// Select all the rows in the markers table
$query = "SELECT * FROM markers WHERE 1";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (!$result) {
die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}
header("Content-type: text/xml");
// Iterate through the rows, adding XML nodes for each
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
// ADD TO XML DOCUMENT NODE
$node = $dom->createElement("marker");
$newnode = $parnode->appendChild($node);
$newnode->setAttribute("name",$row['name']);
$newnode->setAttribute("address", $row['address']);
$newnode->setAttribute("lat", $row['lat']);
$newnode->setAttribute("lng", $row['lng']);
$newnode->setAttribute("type", $row['type']);
}
echo $dom->saveXML();
?>
