Hello, I'm in need of help. Sometimes my PHP reads XML from a ssh and it tends to fail at times.

Heres my complete error:

Code: [Select]

How would I full proof this from getting this error again, It seems to happen at completely random times.

I'm not very good with XML in PHP

Thanks!

Hello,
I have been working with PHP for many years, but have avoided XML parsing - now I know why. I am having some difficultly. In the following XML example, I am trying to read domain:name and domain:reason. I have struggled for the past 3 nights.

Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0">
<response>
<result code="1000">
<msg>Command completed successfully</msg>
</result>
<resData>
<domain:chkData xmlns:domain="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0">
<domain:cd>
<domain:name avail="0">foo.com</domain:name>
<domain:reason>registered</domain:reason>
</domain:cd>
<domain:cd>
<domain:name avail="0">foo.net</domain:name>
<domain:reason>registered</domain:reason>
</domain:cd>
<domain:cd>
<domain:name avail="0">foo.org</domain:name>
<domain:reason>registered</domain:reason>
</domain:cd>
</domain:chkData>
</resData>
<trID>
<svTRID>test-0000-0000</svTRID>
</trID>
</response>
</epp>

The code I am using is below. This assumes the above XML data is in a variable called $xmldata

Code: [Select]
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmldata);
foreach ($xml->response->resData as $entry){
  $namespaces = $entry->getNameSpaces(true);
  $domain = $entry->children($namespaces['domain']);
  echo "Domain : " . $domain->name. "<br />";
  echo "Domain : " . $domain->reason . "<br />";
}

Can anyone advise where I am going wrong?

Thanks in advance.

I want to get the url in the [@attributes]

Quote

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '@', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '{' or '$' in /


this is the XML:

<form action="jvs.php" method="post">
<input type="checkbox" name="box" value="haa">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>

<?php
echo $_POST['name'];
?>
hi all
How can I get the value of name which is box through post or get from the code

I have a parser.php file that presents me with a list of items inside an XML file

differences.xml:
<element>
<item code="lM" name="castle" type="building">
<cost>5000</cost>
</item>
.....more items.....


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?

 
I want to remove the current attribute of the tag and add the new one.
I wrote the php program but it gives me no output.


Can someone help me please???



Here is my code!!!

<?php
$xml = new DOMDocument();
$xml->load('test.xml');

$node = $xml->getElementsByTagName('*');

$nodename = "";
$node_name = "";
$att = "";
$attr_name = "";
$attr_value = "";

foreach($node as $value)
{


echo "Node Name is :".$value->nodeName;



$nodename = $value->nodeName;
$node_name = $xml->getElementsByTagName('$nodename')->item(0);
echo  $nodename;

foreach($nod_name as $value1)
{
$att = $node_name->getAttributeNode('$value1');


echo "Node Name is :".$att->name;
echo "<BR>Attribute Value is :".$att->value;


$attr_name = $att->name;
$attr_value = '"' . $att->value . '"';
$nodename->removeAttributeNode('$attr_name');

$nodename->setAttributeNode(new DOMAttr('$attr_name', '$attr_value'));

}
$xml->save('temp1.xml');
}
?>

I have researched the subject and found a few 'solutions' for my problem but cannot get it to work (I looked at ones in this forum).
I have php while loop that uses variables for db values and wrapped inside <a></a> tags that work as desired. What I want to have the link open in a new tab.
Here is the code I am working with:
 

<?php
	//loop to collect and output db data as hyperlink with target="_blank"
		while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
		//output data from each row
		echo "<a href='".$row[link]."'>&diams;&nbsp;&nbsp; ".$row[title]."</a><br>";
		}
?>

 

Hi All,

Not sure if this is a silly question so here we go.

I have some divs that have data attributes (data-value).  When i submit and post the form, can i use these values as part of the submission and put their data-value into the db?

Thanks as always in advance.

Hello,

I have made a PHP script that will feed an existing XML file. The file stores song details like, title, name of singer etc ...
Now the file structure is like this for the moment:

Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<music>
  <song>
    <title>Without me</title>
    <artist>Eminem</artist>
    <url>songs/coreIssues.mp3</url>
    <image>img/den.jpg</image>
    <discspeed>11</discspeed>
  </song></music>
But I need it to be:

Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<music>
  <song mainTitle="Eminem - Without me">
    <title>Without me</title>
    <artist>Eminem</artist>
    <url>songs/coreIssues.mp3</url>
    <image>img/den.jpg</image>
    <discspeed>11</discspeed>
  </song></music>
I need it to be like that so if I want to delete a song from the list I just check for the element which will have a unique mainTitle and then delete that element with all it's details.

Now, I've searched on Google for some solutions but didn't find any yet.

Anyone here knows how to do this?

Thanks!

I am having trouble implementing PHP inside a HTML attribute. Every time I try to fix it, I seem to make things worse. Can someone please help me:

<INPUT name="id" type="text" value=""<?php echo "$row['id']"; ?>"">

How can this be written in PHP?

Code: [Select]
echo '<IMG alt="" src=".$row['id']/thumb.png">';

It has been brought to my attention that $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; can be easily hacked.

In this code...
Code: [Select]
<form id="login" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">


Do I even need anything in the Action attribute if I am redirecting the form to itself?!

Please advise...

Hi Guys,
New to php! I have a title attribute applied to a textarea but in the below code the title attribute just displays the first word of the associated sentence, if $translation is "The cat is on the mat" the title attribute on mouseover of the textarea only shows "The". Weird eh? Any ideas what the fix would be. Same in IE, Chrome and FF. How could I tweak this ".$translation." (highlighted in red in code below off to the right) in the context of the below code? It aint my code by the way By the way ".$translation." highlighted in green does show the full sentence eg "The cat is on the mat"
I need the title attribute as a tooltip on a big matrix of textareas.
Thanks

Code: [Select]
foreach ($translation_matrix[$this->ext->settings['base_language']] as $phrase_key => $translation)
{
$class = ($i % 2) ? "tableCellOne" : "tableCellTwo";
$r .= "<tr>";
$r .= "<td class='".$class." phrase-key'>".$phrase_key."</td>";
$r .= "<td class='".$class."'>[color=green]".$translation."[/color]</td>";
foreach ($matched_langs as $lang_key => $language)
{

$r .="<td class='".$class."'> ".$language."<textarea class='textarea' name='translations[".$lang_key."][".$phrase_key."]' title=[color=red]".$translation."[/color]>".((isset($translation_matrix[$lang_key][$phrase_key]) === TRUE) ? $translation_matrix[$lang_key][$phrase_key] : "")."</textarea></td>";
}
$r .= "</tr>\n";
$i++;
}
$r .= "</tbody></table><input type='submit' value='".$LANG->line("submit")."' />";

$r .= "</form>";

$this->_render_layout('index', $r);
}

Hi,

I have an XML Feed which is using ID's or Types. I need to select the specific node and convert it to a variable.

Example XML Feed:

Code: [Select]
<tour>
<tourName>Amazon Riverboat Adventure</tourName>
<dossierCode>PVIIA</dossierCode>
<tripDetails>
<tripDetail type="StartFinish">ex Lima</tripDetail>
<tripDetail type="What's Included">Lots of stuff </tripDetail>
</tripDetails>
I have been extracting this data by using:

<?php
if(!$xml=simplexml_load_file('xmlfeed.xml')){
    trigger_error('Error reading XML file',E_USER_ERROR);
}
foreach ($xml->tourName as $tourname)
foreach ($xml->dossierCode as $agentcode)
?>

However I am unsure how I can extract the "ex lima" from StartFinish as $startfinish.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks!
