RE: [PHP] XML: Similiar Multiple Tags With Different Data
I hope I didn't sound impolite, I really didn't mean to offend you, because if it weren't for your tutorial I would probably still be trying to figure out how to parse attributes and get XML Content into variables. Anyway, the performance and efficiency doesn't really interest me at this point. I just want to get the thing working before I work on improving it. What I really want to do is build up to a full time XML Database application. I know a flat file XML DB won't be as fast as mySQL, but the entries can be edited with any text editor, and ported to any platform, and it will be fairly easy to do. I just have to get the hang of XML Parsing and I will be half way there. Anyway, you asked What's the point of doing the if == 'LIST_ITEM' check in the character handler rather than the end handler?, well the point is that if it is LIST_ITEM I want to the content in a variable. As far as I know this cannot be done in the end handler. Second of all the array_push is there for a reason I am not even sure about, but when I try to remove it the code doesn't work. I will experiment later with alternatives, but for now my main concern is what I previously mentioned: Getting the different values from the same XML tag into an array. PS: Please be polite.

RE: [PHP] XML: Similiar Multiple Tags With Different Data
Ok well that function is the character_data_handler function.
Here is the Start Element function:
function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs='') {
global $tag, $Data, $p;
array_push( $tag, $name );
while ( list($Key,$Val) = each($attrs) ) {
$p-attr_data[$name:$Key] = trim($Val);
}
}
Here is the end element function:
function endElement($parser, $name) {
global $tag;
}
And I just wanted to mention that a lot of that code is from your tutorial
(Anlysis and Solutions). I was just experimenting with it, trying to get
different things to work. You should know pretty well what everything does.
Another thing is that, I think this problem might have something to do with
the array_push function in the Start Element function, however I am not
sure.

You're not posting enough of your code for us to understand how you got
here.
For example, which parser function are we looking at here? I'm guessing
it's the
character_data_handler. But, it's not supposed to have an $attrs argument.
[OY! I just cought a bug in my online tutorial... Had an $Attr argument for
the end
handler. Fixed it.]
Also, where's the $tag array coming from? Why's it an array? Let alone,
why are you
trying to process stuff in the content handler when it's more effective to
handle it
in the end handler?

Not really. You're doing everything differently. It's a lot less efficient. More
importantly, it's not working. For instance...
What's the point of doing the if == 'LIST_ITEM' check in the character handler rather
than the end handler?
What's the point of the array push when the data available therefrom is already
available in the $name variable?

RE: [PHP] XML: Similiar Multiple Tags With Different Data
I tried your suggestion already but It doesn't seem to work. I still can get
it to be assigned to different parts of the array. Do you have any other
suggestions?

[PHP] XML: Similiar Multiple Tags With Different Data
Hello
I have recently been trying to parse an XML document that has different
content in the same tags. Here is an example:
LIST_ITEM1/LIST_ITEM
LIST_ITEM2/LIST_ITEM
LIST_ITEM3/LIST_ITEM
...
I am trying to get the content from LIST_ITEM into an array. I want the
content of the first LIST_ITEM to go into $p-ART_ID[0] and the next to go
into $p-ART_ID[1] and so on. Here is what my Element Content Function looks
like:
-
function elementContent($parser, $data, $attrs='') {
global $tag, $data, $test;
global $p;
$ti = sizeof( $tag ) - 1;
if ( $tag[$ti] == 'LIST_ITEM' ) {
$p-ART_ID[] .= $data;
}
}
When I type in echo $p-ART_ID[0] I should get 1 however I get 1 2 3. For
some reason all the content goes only into one section of the array. Does
anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks.
