[PHP] PHP within XML?
I am trying to figure out if it is possible to have PHP work within an XML document. The application is tracking RSS subscribers IP addresses within the database. I have wrote functions so the PHP code required is below is minimal, after the XML declaration line. Prior to posting this question I tried to have the PHP at the very start, but that doesn’t work, the declaration line needs to be first. Right now the PHP is displayed as a comment. Thoughts anyone? Ron === ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? ?php #load RSS XML function require_once(rss_subscribers_xml.php); $ip_address = _ip; rss_subscriber_update($ip_address); ?

Ron How are you executing the XML file? By calling it with your browser? You may need to tell your webserver that you want to treat your xml file as a PHP document.

In order for your PHP code to be processed the file should be named with a .php extension. Since you're writing XML code, you need to send an XML header type first: ?php header (Content-Type:text/xml); #load RSS XML function require_once(rss_subscribers_xml.php); $ip_address = _ip; rss_subscriber_update($ip_address); echo '?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?' . \n; ?

[PHP] php and XML BibTeX
Hi - Currently on my web site, book and article references are just stored in the database. While it works, I actually would like to move that out of the database and to an XML file, the reason being is that if/when I need to add fields etc. to the referenced sources, it's a lot easier to just edit a text file than modify database and recode my form interface for modifying the database. Also, there's an existing XML format for bibTeX and there already are tools to go from that to real bibTex, which I may need to do at some point. What I'm hoping is that already exists some php classes / functions for dealing with the XML bibTeX but I haven't found them. Anyone know of any? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] PHP and XML
Hi people, I have some doubts about this topic that I'm gonna explain. I have a few sites in flash, and I was requested to write a PHP frontend to send news. I have this already done and it works perfect. It's a LAMP App to send and edit news, post video, images and so on. Then, I need to put all this news into the Flash site. So, I need to use XML. I'm not gonna discuss about Flash, because this is a PHP List, however I would like to talk about PHP and XML. What do you recommend me to produce XML from those news of the SQL database?. What do you suggest to output XML from the existing content to then put those XML files into Flash. The posted news are saved in a MySQL database. I don't know if do I need to output from PHP then parse the output and convert it to XML, or if Do I need to get the array from the MySQL and directly output this to an XML file to then get from this file from Flash.

Re: [PHP] PHP and XML
I would just use concatenations and strings to build the XML. It's not gonna matter to the flash swf when it gets the string as it will attempt the data as XML.

There are almost for sure other more common RDBMS that let you pretend that XML is just another database storage file format, and run regular old SQL queries on it. I think PostgreSQL can do this, actually. I wouldn't be shocked to find out that SQL Server even has something truly ugly to do it, but it would work. An even simpler method, if you only get updates once a month, would be to write a monthly import script that just loads in the XML to a normal database, with some kind of automated conversion of the XML attributes/tags to column names. -- Some people have a gift link here.

Re: [PHP] PHP with XML database
Hi again I don't know what the DB should do for you. If you simple want to select subtrees from your big XML, you can put the XML Files to the filesystem and use XPointer for query. Here an example: ?php $xml=END result xmlns:xi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude; xmlns:xhtml=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; xi:include href=http://www.laptop.org/vision/index.shtml#xmlns(xhtml=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml)xpointer(//xhtml:div[1]//xhtml:div[1]) parse=xml xi:fallback errornot found/error /xi:fallback /xi:include /result END; $dom=domDocument::loadXML($xml); $dom-xinclude(); header(Content-type:text/xml); echo $dom-saveXML(); ? This example loads an XML (xhtml) from the web (filesystem is also possible) and outputs a subtree of the document. The subtree is selected by an XPointer expression. The XML: http://www.laptop.org/vision/index.shtml The XPointer: #xmlns(xhtml=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml)xpointer(//xhtml:div[1]//xhtml:div[1]) (the namespace part is a little tricki) To parse 100MByte takes some time. A database can improve speed, the query syntax (XPointer) maybe is the same. Without knowing what the output of the database should be und the query parameters, it is not easy to tell what db is the best for you. A solution could be to split the 100MByte file in small parts and store the subtrees to blobs in mySql. You can build an index based on XPath and it could be a real fast solution.

Hi, what do you plan to do with XML? Store your adresses, etc? Then you can create an XML object with simpleXML (see http://be2.php.net/simplexml/) This will help you in adding nodes and attributes. Afterward, you can generate a output with $xml-asXML() and store this into a file with file_put_content($xml-asXML()); If you edit a xml file in a text editor, you will see it is rather simple study the simpleXML methods and you are ready ! best whishes ! vincent -Original Message- From: onewaylife [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu 23/11/2006 13:57 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] PHP and XML Dear All I am novice in PHP XML, while trying I am creating a small application i.e. Address Book.

[PHP] PHP 5 XML Dom, set doctype and system
Hello, I need to set the doctype and the system dtd of a document created directly with the xml DOM. I couldn´t find any function or property to set this, i saw some examples that directly wrote onto the file manually, but i´m pretty sure thare must be a way to do this with the dom (i remembered that libxml c api has such capability, so, if php dom is based on such, then it would be able to). Any ideas? Thanks in advance, cheers. Mariano. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

[PHP] PHP 5 XML/XSL problem
Hi
I've been using PHP 4 for the last year to do XSL transformations in one
of my applications. It worked like a charm, we never had any problems.
While I was investigating the feasability of moving to PHP 5, I
discovered that for some reason, the exact same XML/XSL fails to
transform properly. The relevant bit of XSL is below:
xsl:param name=pageContext select=UNDEFINED /
xsl:variable name=sections select=document('../xml/sections.xml') /
xsl:variable name=targetID select=//[EMAIL PROTECTED] = $pageContext]/@id
/
xsl:variable name=targetFileSrc
select=$sections/sections/[EMAIL PROTECTED] = $targetID] /
xsl:variable name=targetFile
xsl:choose
xsl:when test=($targetFileSrc/sectionContentSrc = 'none') or
(string-length($targetFileSrc/sectionContentSrc) = 0)
xsl:copy-of select=document('../xml/default.xml') /
/xsl:when
xsl:otherwise
xsl:copy-of select=document(concat('../xml/',
$targetFileSrc/sectionContentSrc)) /
/xsl:otherwise
/xsl:choose
/xsl:variable
xsl:variable name=cornerImage
select=$targetFile/content/headerContent/headerCornerImage /
xsl:variable name=shadowImage
select=$targetFile/content/headerContent/headerShadowImage /
--
with some sample XML as follows:
--
content
headerContent
headerCornerImagehome_nav_middle.gif/headerCornerImage
headerShadowImagehome_nav_bottom.gif/headerShadowImage
/headerContent
/content
I've checked and confirmed that pageContext gets properly initialised,
that all the referenced documents exist and are well-formed, and that
they contain the expected nodes. The error I get is evaluating variable
'cornerImage' failed, yet I cannot understand how this can be so. Apart
from the fact that it worked perfectly fine in PHP 4, all the XML and
XSL conforms to spec. Anyone have an idea? I'm using the PHP 5 DOM and
XSL libraries to handle everything in my upgraded version of the code;
the PHP 4 version used DOMXML and Sablotron.

Yes, I resolved the problem today by installing this RPM via yum. I had assumed it was already installed because I was able to do some XML parsing without it.

[PHP] PHP and XML
My company recently installed google's search appliance and I am working on some scripts to display the search results on our various websites. The problem I'm having is using the XML parsing functions I've used on other pages is not working because the returned XML has invalid xml characters in it. For example, the data between the xml tags include html tags that are supposed to be displayed. But when I parse the xml, the parse sees these tags as new start tags. Is there a way to work around this or a different way to parse this document? I've heard a little about XSLT really don't know anything about it and am wondering if that is the way to deal with it?

The easiest way to do this in Flash is to call a PHP script instead of an XML file in Flash, that way you can render the XML document however you want with PHP and load data directly from the database into XML or whatever you wish. So, replace the XML filename for your PHP script, and that way you should be able to add querystrings and whatnot too.

[PHP] PHP-based XML utilities
Hey all, I've been working a lot more with XML recently and it seems like there's been a fair number of other people using XML too (based on the moderate number of XML-based problems showing up on this list). So, I thought I might build a form with PHP that helps people trying to work with XML documents. If people are interested, I'll publish the source online (not on this list). But if I'm going to do that, I need to know what features people would find most helpful for their XML development / debugging. The list of form features that seem most helpful to me: - Simple creation of xml nodes. - XML function reference. I'm thinking I will just link to PHP's online documentation here. - Full qname expansion. Some xml documents use namespaces; with this users can click on a localname and see the resolved qname. - XPath highlighting. Enter an XPath expression for your document, and the script returns the source with all matching nodes highlighted. - Validation, with syntax highlighting when an error is found. I also might do: - XSLT function reference. - Before after snapshots of an XSL transformation on a given xml document. Perhaps this would also allow the user to click on one of the xml nodes from the new document and see which transformation affected this node. By creating an html form to handle this generation, I'm hoping that myself and other people will be able to solve more of their xml problems on their own. Comments? Suggestions?

It's not clear what would be right in your case because you don't state what you'd like the code to do for you. But anyway, the extraction from the DB is not complete (neep more PHP code after you get the result handler). From the way that you have your SQL query, it seems that you have a table with columns name/address/city/state. If XML is not your only output format, then that's OK. But if this data will see the light of day only as XML, then you might as well store it as plain text in a single field. Of couse you won't be able to order by the name on the SQL side this way :-) But you can parse the entries on the PHP side after you retrieve them and then sort them.

Are you familiar with something called partial decomposition? I'm not
sure where it came from, but Google suggests that it may have been
conceived by Daniel Appelquist, the author of a book called XML and
SQL. I read this book a few weeks ago -- it's expensive, and slim on
content (see my mini-review below), but covers a topic that everyone
seems very interested in. I was elated when Google pointed me to this
article on the theory of partial decomposition (by Appelquist) but
dismayed to find that he didn't submit it in time for a conference, and
so it is not actually found at this link:
http://www.idealliance.org/papers/xml2001/papers/html/06-05-02.html
But I'm sure it's the same idea he puts forth in his book.
Partial Decomposition:
The idea is that you store your information in an XML document, and then
take the most-searched information and store it in a database with some
kind of relationship to the document (either store the XML document in
the database or store a URI to the XML document in the database). In
this fashion, you can use the power of SQL to search for your data, but
have the data itself stored in XML to take advantage of XML's features.
The important thing to remember is that the data in the columns should
ONLY be used for searches, and the XML is where the data TRULY lies,
otherwise you can violate data integrity. It is not a good scheme for
data that is regularly changed or updated -- for this you are better off
storing your data in the usual way. Also, some of the methods for
ensuring data integrity are not at this time possible in MySQL (he uses
Oracle and SQL Server for a lot of his examples), though you can ad-lib
it with your application (i.e. in PHP) if you are dilligent and are
careful not to make changes to your database without going through the
proper channels to ensure that data integrity is maintained.
It is no substitute for a true XML database, since it is just that -- a
partial decomposition of your data (and thus is only partially
searchable), and won't work for every application. But you may wish to
check out Appelquist's book.
(* my mini-review of XML and SQL by Daniel Appelquist: Well, there
aren't a lot of pages, the text is huge, and the book still costs US
$40.00. Kind of ridiculous. This is further exacerbated by the fact
that only 80% of the book actually revolves around ideas of using XML
with SQL, and much of the rest of the book focuses on the process of
developing a web application by taking user surveys and
scenario-role-playing etc, or introducing some of the fundamentals of
XML which are available all over the rest of the bookstore. Excellent
topics, which IMHO do not fall under the topic of 'XML and SQL'. The
book also discusses at length some of the XML features of Oracle and SQL
Server, so I kind of skipped over these sections -- I'm a MySQL fan.
Is it worth reading? The middle few chapters, which deal specifically
with partial decomposition, are interesting. But is it worth $40? Not
unless your employer is paying for it, or if you are looking for a
general book on developing web applications. In fact, it should
probably have been called Developing Web Applications with XML and
SQL, and if it had then this review might be more forgiving.)
To answer your question, I'm not so sure that I would go about it the
way that you have -- it seems that you are echoing an XML file from SQL
information. There's nothing wrong with this, but simply echoing it to
the screen is probably more useless than just echoing the data in some
meaningful format -- such as a paragraph or a list. HOWEVER, if you
were storing the data in a file, or a string to be sent out as a SOAP
or XML-RPC request, then that makes more sense.
Still, you want some advice? First, your SQL code won't work as it
is -- you've forgotten a mysql_fetch_* function to pull the data from
the $sql_result. So, add to your code:
while ($xml_data_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql_result)) {
$xml_document = '?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8 ?
test
contacts
friends
name' . $xml_data_row['name'] . '/name
address' . $xml_data_row['address'] . '/address
city' . $xml_data_row['city'] . '/city
state' . $xml_data_row['home'] . '/state
/friends
/contacts
/test
;
echo $xml_document;
}
This saves you a ton of typing and even makes your code look better.

[PHP] PHP and XML/XLST/WDDX etc
I am looking for opinions and other philosophy on a couple of XML issues. I have my own opinion, but I am curious what others think and what they are doing... I am in the process of updating many of my applications to include XML/XLST/ and/or WDDX technologies. Many of my applications read a static configuration file which assigns values to variables and arrays. If we need to change something we manually edit the configuration files. In some instances, we have written web interfaces to manage these configuration files. I am in a dilemma right now between If it ain't broke, don't fix it and Looking over my shoulder. I am trying to determine whether it makes more sense to use XML for maintaining configuration files. As far as content management, we use static include files or MySQL databases to store site content. I am not sure where the advantage of using XML/XLST for this functionality. Please comment.

RE: [PHP] PHP and XML/XLST/WDDX etc
Just to follow up on some of these thoughts. XML is definitely complicated to move into. Its unclear if you aren't involved in data interchange, if the benefits are really there. If you are just developing in your own way, you may not need it. OTOH, its new, sexy and may sell better to your customers (if you have such). Bear in mind that if you are db backed, you still need to flatten to store in a DB. There aren't many XML stores, most aren't that good, and they aren't that fast. With that said, I am doing XML now but its for data interchange, not anything else. NOTE -- I was doing SGML in 89 and XML ain't all that different.

Re: [PHP] PHP and XML/XLST/WDDX etc
I am in a dilemma right now between If it ain't broke, don't fix it and Looking over my shoulder. I am trying to determine whether it makes more sense to use ML for maintaining configuration files. Compiled program == ML configuration file Interpreted program (i.e PHP) == included configuration file with variables set For most interpreted programs I can't see any advantage in adding extra code and processing time just to store the config file in a ML. As far as content management, we use static include files or MySQL databases to store site content. I am not sure where the advantage of using XML/XLST for this functionality. I'm currently working on a class library/application framework for PHP (similar to Delphi's VCL) in which I'm using XML/XSLT for the templates. It's working great with development not taking very long at all. The two main advantages of using XML/XSLT for content management that I can see are: 1. It's easier to enforce a common look and feel on a site. 2. It's easier to re-target content (different transformations for different browsers). .

hi, when im using xsl:output encoding=ISO-8859-1 i get Sablotron error on line 1: unknown encoding 'ISO-8859-1' in on line ... but i think iso-8859-1, utf-8, etc. support must be build in. in addition, when i try to include an external xsl with xsl:include href=... / or a xml file with document(), no matter what encoding the target-file has, i get the following error: Sablotron error on line 1: unknown encoding '' in on line ... yes, the position where the unknown encoding has to appear is empty, he says he does not know an unknown encoding ... how can i use the including functions, and how can i use iso-8859-1 as output encoding (the only workarround would be to convert the output encoding from utf-8 to iso-8859-1 with iconv, but this isnt the way i thought a xml-parser has to work ...) configuration: apache: Server Version: Apache/1.3.23 (Win32) PHP/4.1.1 DAV/1.0.3-dev Server Built: Jan 24 2002 20:30:48 server: Windows 2000 Server, SP2 2 GB RAM, dual-xeon 933 mhz php-info: System: Windows NT 5.0 build 2195 Build Date: Dec 30 2001 Thread Safety: enabled ZEND_DEBUG: enabled Configuration File (php.ini) Path: C:\WINNT\php.ini Virtual Directory Support: enabled This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine: Zend Engine v1.1.1, Copyright (c) 1998-2001 Zend Technologies with Zend Optimizer v1.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2001, by Zend Technologies XSLT support: enabled iconv support: enabled XML Support: active XML Namespace Support: active EXPAT Version: 1.95.2 ;Windows Extensions ;Note that MySQL and ODBC support is now built in, so no dll is needed for it. ; ;extension=php_bz2.dll ;extension=php_ctype.dll extension=php_cpdf.dll extension=php_curl.dll ;extension=php_cybercash.dll ;extension=php_db.dll ;extension=php_dba.dll ;extension=php_dbase.dll ;extension=php_dbx.dll extension=php_domxml.dll ;extension=php_dotnet.dll ;extension=php_exif.dll ;extension=php_fbsql.dll ;extension=php_fdf.dll ;extension=php_filepro.dll ;extension=php_gd.dll ;extension=php_gettext.dll ;extension=php_hyperwave.dll extension=php_iconv.dll ;extension=php_ifx.dll ;extension=php_iisfunc.dll ;extension=php_imap.dll ;extension=php_ingres.dll ;extension=php_interbase.dll ;extension=php_java.dll ;extension=php_ldap.dll ;extension=php_mbstring.dll ;extension=php_mcrypt.dll extension=php_mhash.dll extension=php_ming.dll ;extension=php_mssql.dll ;extension=php_oci8.dll ;extension=php_openssl.dll ;extension=php_oracle.dll extension=php_pdf.dll ;extension=php_pgsql.dll ;extension=php_printer.dll ;extension=php_sablot.dll ;extension=php_shmop.dll ;extension=php_snmp.dll extension=php_sockets.dll ;extension=php_sybase_ct.dll extension=php_xslt.dll ;extension=php_yaz.dll extension=php_zlib.dll thanks in advance alex __ alexander gräf [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] PHP and XML
You could try XML for Dummies as a starting point - I have it on my desk and I have yet to read it in depth but it looks like it explains most things OK, and it has the advantage for PHP folk that it is aimed at people who already know alot about how HTML works.

XML By Example Second Edition, published by Que, written by Benoit Marchal, is the best resource out there in my opinion.

[PHP] php search xml-file
Hi!
I have this xml:
list
varacar/vara
bskrford/bskr
price3600/price
nr/nr
/list
-
and this php:
$filename = "list.xml";
$fp = fopen($filename, "r");
$string = fread($fp, filesize($filename));
$string = strip_tags($string);
$refined_string = explode(" ", $string);
if (in_array($needle." ", $refined_string)) {
print "found";
} else {
print "notfound";
}
fclose ($fp);
---
I always get notfound when I set $needle to a word inside the xml-file.
My script doesnt work.
Is it possible also to write a script wich can find the word "ford" if
You only ask for "for"?
I have just started to learn about php search and I am very thankful for
any help.
Regards
Jan

Hi!
I have this php:

not writed.
I also want the output to contain a customer nr ?in beginning.

Re: [PHP] php and xml
Steve,
Did you take a look at the raw data returned by the fsockopen file pointer.
There may be some http headers that are tripping up the xml parser.

Subject: [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 :) )
