Continuing in my effort to port an app from PHP version 5.1.6 to
5.3.3, the app uses this construct all over the place when building
links:
<?=$var?>
I never could find any documentation for this, but I assumed it was
some conditional thing - use $var if it's defined, otherwise use
nothing. In 5.1.6 it seems to do just that. But in 5.3.3 I'm not
getting the value of $var even when it is defined. Has this construct
been deprecated? Is there now some other way to achieve this?
There WAS a period when <?= was linked to short opening tag setting, which cause
a number of headaches, but currently the two are now isolated!

I've upgraded to 5.3.3, got rid of the external Date extension and
implement your solution. It's working perfectly. Thanks much!

Hi all,
newbie - just starting with trying to parse XML...
$mylist = simplexml_load_file('thelist.xml');
then use a foreach to echo the data...
<?php
$mysongs = simplexml_load_file('songs.xml');
foreach ($mysongs as $songinfo) {
$title=$songinfo->title;
$artist=$songinfo->artist;
$date=$songinfo['dateplayed'];
echo $title.' --- ';
echo $artist.' --- ';
echo $date.' --- ';
echo ' </br> ';
}
?>
that I get ...
Question: how do you use $mylist when the xml is not as a file but is returned
on a web page?
an example of the real xml I am trying to work with is like this demo below ....
Goal : when this response comes back - I would like to be able to get the data
as php and then update the database....
example........
