PHP - Parsing Xml Attribute With Xpath() // Im Too Close, Need Help,
hi, im trying to parse this xml file :
xml.gamebookers.com/sport /football.xml_attr.xml i want to echo on my page like this : league name 1 match 1 of league 1 odds odds odds match 2 of league 1 odds odds odds . . league name 2 match 1 of league 2 odds odds odds match2 of league 2 odds odds odds . . this is my code so far <?php $xml=simplexml_load_file('http://xml.gamebookers.com/sports/football.xml_attr.xml'); $league=$xml->xpath('//event/..'); // leagues refers to element<group> $matches=$xml->xpath('//bettype[@name="Versus (with Draw)"]/..'); // shows matches name (team versus team) $odds=$xml->xpath('//event/bettype[@name="Versus (with Draw)"]/bet'); //odds of matches 1 x 2 $leaguecount=count($league); $matchescount=count($matches); $oddscount=count($odds); $i=0; while ($i<$leaguecount){ echo $league[$i]['name'].'<br>'; $i++; } echo '<br><br>'; $i=0; while ($i<$matchescount){ echo $matches[$i]['name'].'<br>'; $i++; } $i=0; while ($i<$oddscount){ echo $odds[$i]['odd'].'<br>'; $i++; } ?> it prints this: http://www.mh724.com/school/xp.php so i need something like that: echo league[$i][mathces[$i][odds[$i] // like arrays of array but it does not work of course any help will highly appreciated :shrug: with regardS Similar TutorialsSo here's what I'm trying to do, and I haven't found any clear tutorials on how to properly navigate a DOMDocument object, at least not in the strict sense of PHP. I'm building a web scraper, I've had it working for some time now using more traditional methods (a combination of string manipulation and clever regex). I've been told xpath can be much faster and more reliable for what I need. Sold. Let's say I'm parsing a forum. This forum separates each reply in a post with a set of <li></li> with a class of "message" Code: [Select] <li class="message"> // Stuff here </li> <li class="message"> // Stuff here </li> So far so good. These list items contain all the formatting for each post, including user info and the message text. Each sitting in it's own div. Code: [Select] <li class="message"> <div class="user info"> User info here </div> <div class="message text"> Message text here </div> </li> <li class="message"> <div class="user info"> User info here </div> <div class="message text"> Message text here </div> </li> Still with me? Good. With this bit of code I can select each message list item block and iterate over all the sub nodes inside. Code: [Select] $items = $xpath->query("//li[starts-with(@class, 'message')]"); for ($i = 0; $i < $items->length; $i++) { echo $items->item($i)->nodeValue . "\n"; } This produces a basic text dump of the entire forum. Close, but not what I need. What I'm trying to do is as follows Select all the class="message" list items [done] Once those have been selected, run another $xpath->query to select the child nodes which contain the user info and message text Step one is done, step two is what is confusing me. How can I run a new query based on the output from the first query? Thanks guys My parser: <?php if (isset($_GET['formSubmit'])) { $option = $_GET['option']; $option = array_values($option); if (!empty($option)){ $xml = simplexml_load_file('differences.xml'); $i = 0; $count = count($option); ?> <table> <tr> <td>Item</td> <td>Code</td> <td>Type</td> <td>Level</td> </tr> <?php while($i < $count) { $selected = $xml->xpath("//item[contains(@name,'".$option[$i]."')]"); echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>".$selected[0]['name']."</td>"; echo "<td>".$selected[0]['code']."</td>"; echo "<td>".$selected[0]['type']."</td>"; echo "<td>".$selected[0]['requiredLevel']."</td>"; echo "</tr>"; $i++; } ?> </table> This works great however requiredLevel is showing nothing. Here is what is stored in the $selected array: Array ( [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [buildingName] => EiffelTower [code] => lM [type] => building ) [requiredLevel] => 5 [cost] => 5000 [built] => 03/31/1889 => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [itemClass] => EiffelTower_construct ) ) [defaultItem] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [amount] => 1 [name] => iron ) ) [finishedReward] => iron [image] => Array ( [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [loadClass] => mc [name] => construct_0 [url] => /buildings/eiffel_tower.swf ) ) [1] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [loadClass] => mc [name] => construct_1 [url] => /buildings/eiffel_tower.swf ) ) [2] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [loadClass] => mc [name] => built_0 [url] => /buildings/eiffel_tower.swf ) ) [3] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [name] => icon [url] => buildings/eiffel_tower.png ) ) [4] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [name] => startIcon [url] => /buildings/eiffel_tower.png ) ) [5] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [name] => halfIcon [url] => /buildings/eiffel_tower.png ) ) [6] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [name] => completeIcon [url] => /buildings/eiffel_tower.png ) ) ) [constructionUI] => /buildings/Construct_eiffel_tower.swf [countryCard] => france ) My XML: <element> <item code="lM" name="snowman2010" type="building"> <requiredLevel>5</requiredLevel> <cost>5000</cost> <built>03/31/1889</built> <storageType itemClass="EiffelTower_construct"/> <defaultItem amount="1" name="iron"/> <finishedReward>iron</finishedReward> <image loadClass="mc" name="construct_0" url="/buildings/eiffel_tower.swf"/> <image loadClass="mc" name="construct_1" url="/buildings/eiffel_tower.swf"/> <image loadClass="mc" name="built_0" url="/buildings/eiffel_tower.swf"/> <image name="icon" url="/buildings/eiffel_tower.png"/> <image name="startIcon" url="/buildings/eiffel_tower.png"/> <image name="halfIcon" url="/buildings/eiffel_tower.png"/> <image name="completeIcon" url="/buildings/eiffel_tower.png"/> <constructionUI>/buildings/eiffel_tower.swf</constructionUI> <countryCard>france</countryCard> </item> Using the established code pattern in my parser.php how can I print out requiredLevel? The output of my array is mighty confusing! [/code] Hi all, I am pretty new to php and I am having an issue trying to load an XML document. When ever I try to use Xpath it negates all the code below the line, including the HTML, and returns a white page. here is my code: Code: [Select] <html> <head> <?php $xpath = new DOMXPath("structure.xml"); ?> <body> hello world </body> </html> I checked phpinfo() and I have both the DOM and XPath enables and installed. I have also tried using just DOM and that worked so it is only Xpath that is not working. Ideas? Thank you James S Hi everyone, I am having trouble with the last() function in xpath . I want to get the text3. The HTML looks like this: Code: [Select] div id="body"> <br> <br> text1 <hr> text2 <br> <br> text3 So far I have: Code: [Select] $lastdata= $simplexml->xpath("//div[@id='body']/following-sibling::node [last()]"); This is not working. I would appreciate any help.

Thanks. I am trying to parse a blogspot feed using xpath but it doesnt seem to be working with anything that I try. I am not sure if it is because of the namespaces or what but I was hoping someone could help me. Here is the code: $xml = simplexml_load_file('http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/MKuf'); $next = $xml->xpath("//link[@rel='next']"); print_r($next); This is just returning an empty array and it should not be. I tried it doing just link or just entry and it still is returning empty. The only one I can run on it that works is *. Any help is appreciated. Hi all, I'm sure I'm making this far more difficult than I need to... I've got an xml document... <library id="1"> <lname>Lib1</name> <book id="1"> <title>book 1</title> <author>Author 1</author> </book> <book id="2"> <title>book 2</title> <author>Author 2</author> </book> </library> I can access the nested elements using xpath like : $result = $xml->xpath('//book'); foreach($result as $books) { echo $books->title; } How would I do this for the attributes? If I specify I want the attributes in the xpath query I can't get at the elements... I'm trying to turn this xml file into a simple relational database... A library table and a book table. So I need the library id (attribute) and the name(nested element) for one insert query - and the book id, title, author and the library id for the other. Anyone got any idea? Cheers John Code: [Select] $domdoc=new DOMDocument(); $domdoc->formatOutput=TRUE; $empty_cart_xml= '<Order> <Cart> <Items> <Item>1</Item> <Item>2</Item> <Item>3</Item> </Items> </Cart> </Order>'; $domdoc->loadXML($empty_cart_xml); print $domdoc->saveXML()."<hr/>"; //works up to this point $xpath=new DOMXPath($domdoc); $items=$xpath->query('Order/Cart/Items'); foreach($itemses AS $items) { $items->appendChild($domdoc->createElement('Item','4')); } print $domdoc->saveXML(); All I want to do is to add a new Item to Items.

good evening dear php-freaks,
hope you are all right.
My tactic is as follows:
1. i run requests to the openstreetmap-endpoint- (see below) and i try three different APIs per request isn't that easy on ressources and 2. I don't know how to work with the results that i gather from the OpenStreetmap-Endpoint
as of the first point: - workin on the endpoint of OSM-Overpass-API.... see my approach:
<?php
/**
* OSM Overpass API with PHP SimpleXML / XPath
*
* PHP Version: 5.4 - Can be back-ported to 5.3 by using 5.3 Array-Syntax (not PHP 5.4's square brackets)
*/
//
// 1.) Query an OSM Overpass API Endpoint
//
$query = 'node
["amenity"~".*"]
(38.415938460513274,16.06338500976562,39.52205163048525,17.51220703125);
out;';
$context = stream_context_create(['http' => [
'method' => 'POST',
'header' => ['Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'],
'content' => 'data=' . urlencode($query),
]]);
# please do not stress this service, this example is for demonstration purposes only.
$endpoint = 'http://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter';
libxml_set_streams_context($context);
$start = microtime(true);
$result = simplexml_load_file($endpoint);
printf("Query returned %2\$d node(s) and took %1\$.5f seconds.\n\n", microtime(true) - $start, count($result->node));
//
// 2.) Work with the XML Result
//
so far so good: with this i get a bunch of data.....
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <osm version="0.6" generator="Osmosis SNAPSHOT-r26564" xapi:planetDate="2014-10-07T15:42:02Z" xmlns:xapi="http://jxapi.openstreetmap.org/"> <node id="251652819" version="6" timestamp="2013-10-19T14:03:10Z" uid="1198089" user="GeorgeKaplan" changeset="18434238" lat="48.8527413" lon="2.3333559"> <tag k="dispensing" v="yes"/> <tag k="website" v="http://www.pharmacie-paris-citypharma.fr/"/> <tag k="name" v="Pharmacie Citypharma in downtown paris"/> <tag k="amenity" v="pharmacy"/> </node> <node id="251774849" version="9" timestamp="2014-07-28T21:28:26Z" uid="92075" user="Art Penteur" changeset="24411346" lat="48.8468043" lon="2.3696423"> <tag k="phone" v="0143430996"/> <tag k="dispensing" v="yes"/> <tag k="name" v="Pharmacie de la Rapée in downtown paris"/> <tag k="amenity" v="pharmacy"/> <tag k="opening_hours" v="Mo-Fr 08:30-20:30; Sa 09:00-19:30"/> </node> <node id="263262912" version="3" timestamp="2014-07-28T21:37:24Z" uid="92075" user="Art Penteur" changeset="24411346" lat="48.8446917" lon="2.3101829"> <tag k="dispensing" v="yes"/> <tag k="amenity" v="pharmacy"/> </node>
what is aimed: I am trying to filter the records based on the attributes that i find in the dataset, <tag k="name" v="blahblahblah"/> field.
I have been looking around and the classical way to do it its easy, however because of my poor skills in doing anything Is it possible to apply xml filtering for tags that look like this <tag k="dispensing" v="yes"/> ones that do not have the <tag></tag>
.....format. Also how can i filter the records when each child of the node has different attributes,like v, <tag k="name">Pharmacie in Paris-downtown - Rapée-metro-station</tag>
i have had a quick look at the PHP-SimpleXML and the XPath-approach: it may help me in achieving what is aimed.
but at the moment - i think i got stuck.
i greatly appreciated hints and some ideas that may fit her.

I've been having an issue trying to parse text in a span cass with DOM. Here is my code example. try to extract some lines out of a webpage - with following technique: with the Extraction of values of attributes of elements with DOMDocument. Here is what i have gathered and learned:
$remote = "http://website.com/"; $doc = new DOMDocument(); @$doc->loadHTMLFile($remote); $xpath = new DOMXpath($doc); $node = $xpath->query('//span[@class="user"]'); echo $node;
and this returns the following
error -> "Catchable fatal error: Object of class DOMNodeList could not be converted to string".
And now - with this i need help.
What I am trying to do is parse the user name between this tag;
<div class="widget plugin-meta"> <h3 class="screen-reader-text">Meta</h3>
see more below:Here the concrete example view-source: https://wordpress.org/plugins/participants-database/ and https://wordpress.org/plugins/participants-database/
goal i need the following data:
Version: Last updated: Active installations: Tested up:
view-source: https://wordpress.org/plugins/participants-database/
Proceedings; i checked the source of the webpage. i tried to find out whether the texte is related to some kind of pattern.i have looked closely and found that all of them have class=”widget plugin-meta” . Well - This will make extracting them, a piece of cake. I tried with the code below helps to filter html elements based on values of attributes. but unfortunatley this ends up in a bad result; i need a helping hand and need to know how to parse the above mentioned data

After selecting wanted items, the form submits to parsed.php. Now I want parsed.php to go back into the same XML file and insert only those selected items into a new array. parser.php code: <?php if (empty($option)){ $xml = simplexml_load_file('differences.xml'); $object = $xml->xpath('//item'); $count = count($object); $i = 0; echo "<form method='post' action='parsed.php'>"; while($i < $count){ $xmlname = $object[$i]['name']; echo "<input type='checkbox' name='option[".$i."]' value='$xmlname'>".$xmlname; echo "<br>"; $i++; } echo "<br><input type='submit' name='formSubmit' value='Proceed'><br>"; echo "</form>"; } ?> parsed.php code: <?php $option = $_POST['option']; if (isset($_POST['formSubmit'])) { if (!empty($option)){ $xml = simplexml_load_file('differences.xml'); $i = 0; $count = count($option); while($i < $count) { $object = $xml->xpath('//item[@name="$option[$i]"]'); echo $object[$i]['name']; echo "<br>"; $i++; } }else{ echo "No items selected, Please select:"; } } ?> The problem I am having is that echo $object[$i]['name']; is not returning any values (it is empty, I checked). The thing is though that $option[$i] does contain the selected value. I have narrowed my problem down to this part of my code: $object = $xml->xpath('//item[@name="$option[$i]"]'); echo $object[$i]['name']; Can someone help me narrow down my problem? |
