[PHP] XML with PHP
Hi
I am trying to read XML files (invoices) from a directory and display
them to the visitor. Each XML file contains several invoices. The
visitor then clicks on the XML file (invoices). My PHP snippet should
open the xml file and locate the appropriate invoice and display the
content.
I have managed to list the directory contents using the following PHP
snippet. The function call below DisplayBill($MemberId, $FileName,
$StyleSheet) should take the memberid (login), the xml file name which
has been clicked and the stylesheet to be used.
I now have the following doubts for which I need clarifications
Architecturally is it necessary the DisplayBill should be a seperate php
file or can it exist as a function in the same file as the code below?
Should the Invoices be displayed as a web form for me to capture the
user click to retrieve the appropriate file and invoice so that I can
display it to the user.
I intend to parse the XML file using XPath (at this stage I am not sure
if php supports Xpath and XQuery!)
Any help would be appreciated
Best regards
Sridhar

[PHP] xml v php question
Hi gang: Why does starting my php script with -- ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? -- stop it from running? I would like to use php in a page, but the page has to begin with a xml declaration to generate a quirksmode for IE6 and under while permitting IE7 to be left in standards mode. We've tried it in both Wordpress and Textpattern and both are php and neither are able to parse a document with an xml declaration above the header. Is this problem solvable? I've been told that better minds have already tried and failed to resolve this issue. So, what say you group?

Hi! I've been looking at the XML-parserfunctions in the manual, and they seems nice enough. But I'm currently in a project where there is need to read from, write to and edit in XML-files, in some smart way. Our ISP is supporting the following: xml XML Support active XML Namespace Support active EXPAT Version 1.95.6 I suppose the answer to my questions lies in the expath-part, but where do I start, where can I read more about the above expat and which is the best approach for me in this project? We're going to import som data from Navision, XML-formatted, to postgresql, and meanwhile documents are edited they are, until finished, going to be saved as xml-documents on the server.

Make sure that you have all the dlls that are needed for php+dom. these dlls need to be in your windows path as well. Uncomment the dll in your php.ini file and restart the webserver. View a php page with phpinfo() as the only function in that page: ?php phpinfo(); ? See if you have dom in there. If not then follow the above steps again. If you dont have the dll then you will need to download the zip file from php.net. Now that you have dom you can load in xml files as dom objects and manipulate the object with the dom functions. -- BigDog On Thu, 2003-07-31 at 06:54, Steff wrote: Hello I'm a beginner in php.

I read the useful document about XML in PHP on http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/phpxml.html. I still haven't made much progress on XML. I'm still confuse about XML. I had to write XML stuffs on the client-side with the build-in XML request and it doesn't make sense that the client brower should be communicating to credit bureau network without going to my company's PHP webserver to that credit bureau. So, it meant I have to use the post request that would send the data to my company's PHP webserver and somehow convert it into xml and send it to that credit bureau by cURL. Is there a way to do that?? Thanks, FletchSOD P.S. Is there a good XML / PHP manual for that? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] XML vs. PHP manual???
Ha ha, I'm so used to html instead of htm. :-) It have been my thought that I write a script as a post method to send data to the server then have hte PHP webserver do the dirty work. I haven't figure out how to get PHP to put in the xml stuffs into the data and send it to the credit bureau. The documentation said the data need to be in XML format when sending and receiving the data. Before, I use the serial stream of data with the format setting according to the guideline in the manual I got from the credit bureau. Well, we don't want the customer to access that credit bureau site since they aren't a programmer, just somebody who want to see the inquiries. Lots of them don't know how to use SSLs. It doesn't seem to be a good idea to create a software and give it to the customers. Also, throught the server can I be able to tell if the data is a hit or not a hit, whether the add-on stuffs being used or not, etc. The person name in the inquiry, all together, would I be able to put into the database for billing purpose.

Re: [PHP] XML with PHP cURL.
Cool! I'm just getting started on XML. I read the documentation about XML and it doesn't look too hard. Unfortunately, it is written for the client side script. So, I barely am starting writing the test script for the server side and have it work with php and curl. At least, I know how to use curl and php without a problem. Just trying to figure out to slide the xml data through curl to somewhere and vice versa. It involve 2 seperate URL address. The 1st for authentication and the 2nd for transmitting datas. Sigh! Alright! I'll read the post, http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/phpxml.htm and see what I can learn from.

Re: [PHP] XML with PHP cURL.
More detail? I have successfully make the data transmission work through php and curl without xml. I just barely gotten started on xml. I read the documentation about how it work, but it is only for the client side. I'm going to have to read some documentation and figure out how to use xml in php then figure out how to use curl for xml transmission. It is not just setting up curl is the issue here since xml and transmit through and back without the problem as I read on the cURL website. I have two URLs to deal with. The 1st for authentication and the 2nd, a completely different URL address for transmitting data. The odd thing is I don't need to have the encryption packages since the letter said all I need to do is to issue the key to that website and it will provide the encryption to me. Must be related to the authentication stuffs.

[PHP] xml and php question
Hey all I'm not so sure if this is the correct place to ask this question, but I'm hoping some of you will be able to give me some feedback. I am currently toying around with php and mysql developing a website for myself, the current one is partly php powered, but I am trying to move it over to a complete php and mysql system, I would also like to use XML. i have previously used Xml on another web project, and i really liked the way you could reformat you content, and it's ease of use. What i was wondering is, if any of you use XML to store your content, in what way do you go about it. At the moment i see 2 sepeerate ways of going about it. a)Mark up your documents in xml and store the xml documents in a database, your database can be pretty simple, witha couple of fields that represent some of the meta data in the xml file, e.g. Author, Date-created, then a large blob which is the doc. when you wish to view the document, you search on the criteria that is available, and then retrieve your xml doc. Some down sides to this could be the explosion in the size of the db, if you are storing a large amount of documents etc and also the redundancy in some of hte fields, e.g you have an author field, but this info is contained in the xml doc. It is good, because it is an essentialy simple application, in both php code to pull the data and in the database design. b)have the database act as a sort of XML holder, e.g. break the document down to it's base components, and store all the meta data in the database, when a doc is needed, the xml doc can be created on the fly, by pulling the data out of the appropriate fields. some problems with this can be the database design, it can become extremly complicated(i would imagine, i have not tried it yet), as you are effiectively modelling the DTD in the database. but at the same time, we are reducing redundancy, hopefully, so long as it is well normalised. the reason i am asking this is becaue of the amount i read about xml, how good it is extensible etc, there is not much out there inregards to the practical application of it, aside form the odd tutorial on how to construct a DTD or how to parse XMl with Java/PHP etc. once again, i'm not sure if this post is appropriate to this mailing list, perhaps i should send it to a MySql list or something, but if anyone has any ideas or thoughts on the topic i would really appreciate it. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
