Hi :)
I am creating an XML file out of a mysql query with nested arrays.
Currently I can get 1 element and 1 child with a properly formatted XML file with the below script .
My question: is, How do I add 3 to 4 more child elements to the below 'playlist' array ?
Currently ,I have one parent 'Artist' and one child 'english' ...
I need to add more child elements like urlPath, spanish, biography, etc
Do I have to add another dimension to the 'playlist' array?
I am a bit new to this so any help would be greatly appretiated ....
<?php
@ $db = mysql_connect('127.0.0.1','name','pass');
if (!$db)
{
echo 'Error:Could Not Connect';
exit;
}
mysql_select_db('univision');
$sql = 'SELECT artist.artist_name, media.english, media.path '; $sql .= 'FROM media, artist '; $sql .= 'WHERE artist.artist_id = media.artist_id LIMIT 0, 30 ';
$result = mysql_query($sql);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$playlist[$row['artist_name']] [] = $row['english'];
//would like to add more children here...
}$xml = "<sirenreels>\n";
foreach ($playlist as $artist => $media)
{
$num_media = count($media);
$xml .= "<artist>\n";
$xml .= "\t<meta>\n";
$xml .= "\t\t<title>".$artist."</title>\n";
$xml .= "\t</meta>\n";
$xml .= "\t<content>\n"; foreach ($media as $mediaVal)
{
$xml .= "\t\t<media>\n";
$xml .= "\t\t\t<english_name>".$mediaVal."</english_name>\n";
$xml .= "\t\t\t<path>".$mediaVal."</path>\n";
///add more children here
$xml .= "\t\t</media>\n";
}
$xml .= "\t</content>\n";
$xml .= "</artist>\n";
}
$xml .= "</sirenreels>\n";
