PHP - Getting A Whole Xml Node

Hi All,

I've been struggling to get the following code to work. I have an API feed that looks like this:

 

<Jobs>
        <Job>
            <ID>1805</ID>
            <Name>House Additions/Alterations </Name>
            <Description>House</Description>
            <Client>
                <ID>16178470</ID>
                <Name>client name 1</Name>
            </Client>
            <ClientOrderNumber></ClientOrderNumber>
            <State>In Construction</State>
            <StartDate>2018-03-26T00:00:00</StartDate>
            <DueDate>2020-03-31T00:00:00</DueDate>
            <Contact>
                <ID>10195532</ID>
                <Name>Clent Name1</Name>
            </Contact>
            <InternalID>25026686</InternalID>
            <Manager>
                <ID>610781</ID>
                <Name>Manager Name 1</Name>
            </Manager>
            <Partner>
                <ID>610781</ID>
                <Name>patner name</Name>
            </Partner>
            <Assigned>
                <Staff>
                    <ID>610781</ID>
                    <Name>Staff 1</Name>
                </Staff>
              .........
              

I'm trying to work out how to show all the job ID, Job Name, Client Name, Start Date etc that are specific to the assigned staff member by selecting a specific staff member. $Staff is populated by a dropdown earlier in the code.

here's my code so far:

if ($err) {
  echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {
        $xml=simplexml_load_string($response) or die("Error: Cannot create object"); 
    $jobs = $xml->xpath("Jobs/Job/Assigned/Staff[Name= '$Staff']");
    foreach($jobs as $item) {
    //foreach($xml->Jobs->Job as $item) {
        $item1 = $item->Client->Name;
        $job_no = "$item->ID";
        $job_name = "$item->Name";
        $job_client = "$item1";
        $job_start = "$item->StartDate";
        $job_due = "$item->DueDate";
        $job_status = "$item->State";
            
    echo "<tr><td>$job_no</td><td><a href='activecp/managejob.php?job_id=$job_no'>$job_name</a></td><td>$job_client</td><td>$job_status</td><td>$job_start</td><td>$job_due</td></tr>";
     } 
}

This currently shows the ID and name of the selected staff member but not the info i need. All of the data I want to show is before the Assigned/Staff . 

Any help would be much appreciated. 

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have a RSS feed cached as an XML file. I need to pull some info out of it so I can then print it to the page.

Currently I am using this code to extract the data:

$doc = new DOMDocument();
  $doc->load('inthenews.xml');
  $inthenews = array();
  foreach ($doc->getElementsByTagName('item') as $node) {
    $itemRSS = array ( 
      'title' => $node->getElementsByTagName('title')->item(0)->nodeValue,
      'link' => $node->getElementsByTagName('link')->item(0)->nodeValue,
      'desc' => $node->getElementsByTagName('description')->item(0)->nodeValue,
      );
    array_push($inthenews, $itemRSS);
  }

However, the Description node contains more than I want. I need to remove everything except for the image ( <img../> ) it contains.

Is there some way of running preg or similar on the nodeValue as it is extracted? Or an alternative to "getElementsByTagName" that allows searching for strings?

If not, does anyone have a suggestion for doing this? I tried running preg_replace on the array, but it doesn't seem to do anything?? An example of the Array created by my code above is shown below:


Code: [Select]
[0] => Array
        (
            [title] => BBC radio Cambridge 7.20am
            [link] => images/news/Matthew_Freeman_Radio_Cambridgeshire_21-10-10.mp3
            [desc] => <img alt="BBC-logo" src="http://www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/images/news/BBC-logo.jpg" height="54" width="127" /><br/>BBC radio Cambridge 7.20am 21.10.10: Dr Matthew Freeman"<br/> 21 October 2010
        )


Thanks in advance for any advice

How can I print the attributes of a child node?
I have been trying and looking and cant get it.

I would like to adding a node to a tree. I want it to be a balanced b-tree. The logic/algorithm i can think of is

Code: [Select]
<?php
function add_node($root, $node) // Where $root is the parent to which node should be added and $node is the node that is to be added.
{
     Traverse the tree level wise, level 1 being the lchild and rchild of $root and calculate the number of node in that level
     if(number of nodes in a level < 2[sup]$level[/sup])  // Since number of nodes a level can accommodate  = 2[sup]$level[/sup] 
     {
          Add node in that level where ever it gets an empty spot.
     }
}
?>

Tree table:-
Code: [Select]
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `tree` (
  `parent` int(7) NOT NULL,
  `rchild` int(7) NOT NULL,
  `lchild` int(7) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
Is their any better logic to do so ?

Hi, I am new to xml parsing and I just want to know how to check whether a node has attributes:

Here is my xml file to use:
=================
Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<email>
<message>
<to>
<toFirstName>Tove</toFirstName>
<toLastName toType="common" style="swag">Smith</toLastName>
</to>
<from>
<fromFirstName>Jani</fromFirstName>
<fromLastName fromType="unique">Dravison</fromLastName>
</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>
<prologue>Tis the night before Xmas...</prologue>
<paragraph1>Don't forget me this weekend!</paragraph1>
<paragraph2>Jump the gun!</paragraph2>
<epilogue>The end of the world.</epilogue>
</body>
</message>

<message>

Here the simple script that I cannot get to work:
==================================
Code: [Select]
<?php
$simpleXMLObj=simplexml_load_file("email.xml");

if($simpleXMLObj->to[0]->toLastName[0]->attributes()->getName)
print "YES: this node has attributes!";
else
        print "NO:";
?>

Please I really need help, it is simple I know but I am new to xml parsing and mixed up.

Hey guys. I just recently started learning php and I like to learn hands on. So, my first project involves the Google Calendar. I found a script on github that is basically a Google calendar feed and I've been manipulating it to meet my personal needs and expectations, but the only thing I am struggling with is the xml part. All I want to do in this case is get the value from ###TITLE###   (after it is sorted by newest date which is done automatically in the script) and store it in a new variable but no matter what I try or do and after reading a bunch of material on xml and php, I still cannot get it to work. If anyone knows how to do this and provide an explanation so I can actually learn I would really really appreciate it. Here is the github script   https://github.com/m...ter/gcalphp.php   Thank you and I am looking forward to any suggestions or anything.

Hi, I need to build my own xml validator and was wondering, what are some possible purposes of having multiple text nodes for a given parent node, I ask b/c while I was playing around with W3schools XML validator, I noticed it successfully validated the following:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<note>
 <to>Joh</to>
 <from>Frank</from>
 <body>Hello world</body>
  Extra text node that is validated!
</note>

I am trying to use php to loop through an xml file and reorganize the data.  For example, if I have a xml file about books and the first xml sub tag under the <book> tag is "<type>" .  I would like to make the following tags (nodes?) as child nodes under the type tag.  For example, instead of this:
Code: [Select]
   <book>
        <type>nonFiction</type>
        <title>Advanced PHP Programming</title>
        <author>George Schlossnagle</author>
        <publisher>Developer Library</publisher>
        <category>1</category>
        <category>3</category>
   </book>
   <book>
        <type>Fiction</type>
        <title>My Novel</title>
        <author>Same Nagle</author>
        <publisher>Developer Library</publisher>
        <category>1</category>
        <category>3</category>
   </book>
I want to make the xml look like this:
Code: [Select]
   <book>
        <type>nonFiction
                <title>Advanced PHP Programming</title>
                <author>George Schlossnagle</author>
                <publisher>Developer Library</publisher>
                <category>1</category>
                <category>3</category>
        </type>
   </book>
   <book>
        <type>Fiction
             <title>My Novel</title>
             <author>Same Nagle</author>
             <publisher>Developer Library</publisher>
             <category>1</category>
             <category>3</category>
        </type>
   </book>
