RE: [PHP] looking for tutorial on XML parsing of attributes...

2002-03-23 Thread J. Scott Johnson 

If you use xml_parse_into_struct, it does split out the attributes into the
array it creates.

I tested this with the standard manual code, adding a single attribute to
the sample data i.e.

$simple = paranote attrib=\scott\simple note/note/para;
$p = xml_parser_create();
xml_parse_into_struct($p,$simple,$vals,$index);
xml_parser_free($p);
echo Index array\n;
print_r($index);
echo \nVals array\n;
print_r($vals);

I got back:

Index array Array ( [PARA] = Array ( [0] = 0 [1] = 2 ) [NOTE] = Array
( [0] = 1 ) ) Vals array Array ( [0] = Array ( [tag] = PARA [type] =
open [level] = 1 ) [1] = Array ( [tag] = NOTE [type] = complete [level]
= 2 [attributes] = Array ( [ATTRIB] = scott ) [value] = simple note )
[2] = Array ( [tag] = PARA [type] = close [level] = 1 ) )

There seems to be an attributes array which you can access (disclaimer - I
haven't done that yet).

I'm no expert on the XML functions, but post your code and maybe we can
figure out what's wrong.

 Name = DESCRIPTION  -- Attributes = Array

 I cant seem to nail down how to pull the actual attribute values
 does
 anyone know of a tutorial that's going to teach me how to pull those
 attributes of fqdn and code?  I've figured out how to get the
 DESCRIPTION...

RE: [PHP] looking for tutorial on XML parsing of attributes...

2002-03-23 Thread Scott Brown 

Thanks - using xml_parse_into_struct does make parsing the document much
easier... great suggestion.

What I've ended up with is:

// create parser
$xp = xml_parser_create();
xml_parse_into_struct($xp,$xml,$vals,$index);
xml_parser_free($xp);

$found_domain = 0;
$results = array();

for($ctr=0; $ctrcount($vals); $ctr++) {
switch($vals[$ctr][tag]) {
case DOMAIN:
$found_domain = 1;
break;
case STATUS:
if ($found_domain == 1) {

array_push($results,$vals[$ctr][attributes][CODE]);
}
break;
case DESCRIPTION:
if ($found_domain == 1)
array_push($results,$vals[$ctr][value]);
break;
}
}


echo Return Status =  . $results[0] . BR\n;
echo Return Desc   =  . $results[1] . BR\n;
print_r($results);

which then gives me (for something similar to the XMLdoc below):

Return Status = 05BR
Return Desc   = Successfully added,eh?BR
Array
(
[0] = some-numeric-code1
[1] = sometext1
[2] =
[3] =
[4] =
[5] = some-numeric-code2
[6] = sometext2
[7] =
[8] =
[9] =
[10] = some-numeric-code3
[11] = sometext3
[12] =
[13] =
[14] =
)

So I know that every grouping of 5 elements within the results array is
associated with a given domain.  (The two that are present are what I
want...what are the others - just remnants of the tree traversal??)

A little more fiddling, and I'll be able to pull it all apart as needed.
This will do me for now though...

But of course, my next question has to be isnt there an easier way to
extract elements from the XML document?
