[PHP] XML to ARRAY
Here is a piece of code, that is close to doing what I want it to. The end result I would like to have is an array that is simple to work with. If the XML tag was issue-nameRED HAT/issue-name, I would like something like the following: $Tags['issue-name']. So I could print it out. Something like, print $Tags['issue-name']br\n; I was able to get a numerical representation of the array like, $Tags[5] and the value of that tag was RED HAT, but then I would have to know what the position of the data I am looking for in the array. I would prefer to know the tag name and the array and get to the data that way. I know there is a way to do this, but I just can't figure it out. There is a lot of information on Parsing the XML file but not getting into a useful array, or at least that I have found easily to understand. if(!isset($Sym)) { $Sym = 'IKN'; } $URI = 'http://quotes.nasdaq.com/quote.dll?page=xmlmode=stocksymbol='; $simple = implode( '', file($URI$Sym)); $p = xml_parser_create(); xml_parse_into_struct($p,$simple,$vals,$index); xml_parser_free($p); file://echo Index array\n; file://print_r($index); file://echo \nVals array\n; file://print_r($vals); -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
