[PHP] XML Parse Syntax Error
I am working on an XML parser and trying to learn about them. All the
scripts I get from the net in various tutorials and such all return
nothing but XML error: syntax error at line 1. I checked the
variables with PHPINFO() and it says that XML support is on. I also
know that keeping the PHP up to date is not a priority around here as we
are still on PHP3. Any thoughts on what this might be? Is the server
jsut showing it's need for an update again?
-tom
here is one example of the code I am using:
$xml_file = data.xml;
echo table border=0 cellpadding=5;
echo trth colspan=2XML Articles/th/tr;
function startElement($parser_instance, $element_name, $attrs) {
switch($element_name) {
case URL :echo trtda href=\;
break;
case SUMMARY :echo td;
break;
}
}
function characterData($parser_instance, $xml_data) {
echo $xml_data;
}
function endElement($parser_instance, $element_name) {
switch($element_name) {
case URL :echo \;
break;
case TITLE :echo /a/td;
break;
case SUMMARY :echo /td/tr;
break;
}
}
$parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($parser, startElement, endElement);
xml_set_character_data_handler($parser, characterData);
if (!($filehandler = fopen($xml_file, r))) {
die(could not open XML input);
}
while ($data = fread($filehandler, 4096)) {
if (!xml_parse($parser, $data, feof($filehandler))) {
die(sprintf(XML error: %s at line %d,
xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($parser)),
xml_get_current_line_number($parser)));
}
}
fclose($filehandler);
xml_parser_free($parser);
echo /table;

[PHP] Mail() Not working right
I am trying to get the mail() function to work right on my system and while I get no PHP errors the mail is never sent. Running on a linux server with PHP3 and I have confirmed that the command line mail function does work along with a few perl scripts that send mail as well. Here is the code I am using ? mail([EMAIL PROTECTED], testing 1234, this is a test message); ? -thanks tom -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Mail() Not working right
I just found out that the server taht I though was running sendmail is in fact running another program (communigate). I think php is just not interfacing with it correctly. I know this is kinda off topic but is there anyway to monitor what is being sent back to the system from the PHP command, like ECHO? Maybe that way I can see what is going on -tom Jason Wong wrote: On Friday 13 December 2002 04:00, Tom Culpepper wrote: I am trying to get the mail() function to work right on my system and while I get no PHP errors the mail is never sent.

Re: [PHP] Re: Mail() Not working right
I actaully already wrote one like that. The PHP is going fine, the
problem I believe is PHP interfacing with my mail server. Thanks though

I don't think this shows an error if it doesn't work. Try
$mailsuccess = mail(...);
if (!$mailsuccess) {
echo oops;

Re: [PHP] php bugs (Chinese word display problem)-help
I am not positive of the problem as I can not see your code, but if you want to display the words that end in '5C' the you can do them like so: \(escape character) like this: \(95 5C 5C) If you could sttach some code we might have a better idea. -tom culpepper [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, everyone: I am a Chinese, I am a programmer.

Re: [PHP] Re: Php search results]
I wrote this function to fetch a news item off another web page but with
a little modification it should work for you. To use it you needed to
identify a set of of strings in the source to use as anchors ($start,
$end) and then it pulls that section and crops off the anchor text so
you are left with just what you wanted.
?
function get_item($url, $start, $end) {
global $item;
if(!($fp=fopen($url,r))) {
echo $url. is not accessable;
exit;
}
while(!feof($fp)) {
$item.=fgets($fp,255);
}
fclose($fp);
$start_position=strpos($item, $start)+strlen($start);
$end_position=strpos($item, $end);
$length=$end_position-$start_position;
$item=substr($item, $start_position, $length);
}
echo $item;
?
Soemthing like this might work for you:
?
$results=search results;
$keyword=search string;
$startposition=strpos($results, $keyword)-200;
$endposition=strpos($results, $keyword)+200;
$length=$endposition-$startposition;
$item=substr($item, $startposition, $length;
echo $item

You could use strstr() to find the index location of the

Re: [PHP] grabbing data from a site
Try this function, Ijust wrote it for the same purpose. You just need a
unique string in front of the stuff you want, and one after it. You
can usually get a string of code on either end that will do this. The
function will open the URL, find the anchor strings you told it, then
strip them away leaving only the text/code that was in between them
?
function get_item($url, $start, $end) {
global $item;
if(!($fp=fopen($url,r))) {
echo $url. is not accessable;
exit;
}
while(!feof($fp)) {
$item.=fgets($fp,255);
}
fclose($fp);
$start_position=strpos($item, $start)+strlen($start);
$end_position=strpos($item, $end);
$length=$end_position-$start_position;
$item=substr($item, $start_position, $length);
}
echo $item;

If the target is in well-formed XML (XHTML is an example), you could use
XSLT
to say 'i want the third column of a particular row - in this instance,
Melbourne'. However, since few people actually adhere to standards, you're
probably going to need a regex... if you're not comfortable with them,
explode() could be useful (although it is slower)
Somebody posted an extremely helpfull little quick reference at
php.net/ereg,
i think... that might help you.
