Simplexml Will Not Load	View Content

I'm pretty new to php. But the below script should get news articles from google news rss. It is failing to load the simplexml and returns false. Any idea why?

Code: [Select]
$url = "http://news.google.com/news?geo=90210";
if ($xml = @simplexml_load_file($url))
{
for ($i=0; $i<4; $i++)
{
$item= $xml->channel->item[$i];

$link= '<a href = "'.(string) $item->link.'", target= "_blank">'.(string) substr($item->title, 0, 50).'...</a><br />';
$news[]= $link;
}

Using Simplexml To Load Remote Url

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to load a remote URL using the following;

Code: [Select]
$url = 'http://api.ean.com/ean-services/rs/hotel/v3/list?cid=55505&minorRev=12&apiKey=2hkhej72gxyas3ky6hhjtsga&locale=en_US&currencyCode=USD&customerIpAddress=10.184.2.9&customerUserAgent=Mozilla/5.0+(Windows;+U;+Windows+NT+6.1;+en-US;+rv:1.9.2.25)+Gecko/20111212+Firefox/3.6.25&customerSessionId=&xml=<HotelListRequest><arrivalDate>01/22/2012</arrivalDate><departureDate>01/24/2012</departureDate><RoomGroup><Room><numberOfAdults>1</numberOfAdults><numberOfChildren>1</numberOfChildren><childAges>4</childAges></Room></RoomGroup><city>Amsterdam</city><countryCode>NL</countryCode><supplierCacheTolerance>MED</supplierCacheTolerance></HotelListRequest> ';
$xml = simplexml_load_file($url);

But I get met with this error;

Code: [Select]
Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: http://api.ean.com/ean-services/rs/hotel/v3/list?cid=55505&minorRev=12&apiKey=2hkhej72gxyas3ky6hhjtsga&locale=en_US&currencyCode=USD&customerIpAddress=10.184.2.9&customerUserAgent=Mozilla/5.0%2B(Windows;%2BU;%2BWindows%2BNT%2B6.1;%2Ben-US;%2Brv:1.9.2.25)%2BGecko/20111212%2BFirefox/3.6.25&customerSessionId=&xml=%3CHotelListRequest%3E%3CarrivalDate%3E01/22/2012%3C/arrivalDate%3E%3CdepartureDate%3E01/24/2012%3C/departureDate%3E%3CRoomGroup%3E%3CRoom%3E%3CnumberOfAdults%3E1%3C/numberOfAdults%3E%3CnumberOfChildren%3E1%3C/numberOfChildren%3E%3CchildAges%3E4%3C/childAges%3E%3C/Room%3E%3C/RoomGroup%3E%3Ccity%3EAmsterdam%3C/city%3E%3CcountryCode%3ENL%3C/countryCode%3E%3CsupplierCacheTolerance%3EMED%3C/supplierCacheTolerance%3E%3C/HotelListRequest%3E%20:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found in C:\Program Files\XAMPP\xampplite\htdocs\hotel\results.php on line 29

I was told that URL I am trying to access;

Code: [Select]
http://api.ean.com/ean-services/rs/hotel/v3/list?cid=55505&minorRev=12&apiKey=2hkhej72gxyas3ky6hhjtsga&locale=en_US&currencyCode=USD&customerIpAddress=10.184.2.9&customerUserAgent=Mozilla/5.0+(Windows;+U;+Windows+NT+6.1;+en-US;+rv:1.9.2.25)+Gecko/20111212+Firefox/3.6.25&customerSessionId=&xml=<HotelListRequest><arrivalDate>01/22/2012</arrivalDate><departureDate>01/24/2012</departureDate><RoomGroup><Room><numberOfAdults>1</numberOfAdults><numberOfChildren>1</numberOfChildren><childAges>4</childAges></Room></RoomGroup><city>Amsterdam</city><countryCode>NL</countryCode><supplierCacheTolerance>MED</supplierCacheTolerance></HotelListRequest>

...is a JSON response.

So I was then told to do this;

Code: [Select]
<?php
$context = stream_context_create(array('http' => array('header' => 'Accept: application/xml')));
$url = 'http://api.ean.com/ean-services/rs/hotel/v3/list?cid=55505&minorRev=12&apiKey=2hkhej72gxyas3ky6hhjtsga&locale=en_US&currencyCode=USD&customerIpAddress=10.184.2.9&customerSessionId=&xml=<HotelListRequest><arrivalDate>01/22/2012</arrivalDate><departureDate>01/24/2012</departureDate><RoomGroup><Room><numberOfAdults>1</numberOfAdults><numberOfChildren>1</numberOfChildren><childAges>4</childAges></Room></RoomGroup><city>Amsterdam</city><countryCode>NL</countryCode><supplierCacheTolerance>MED</supplierCacheTolerance></HotelListRequest> ';

$xml = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xml);
print_r($xml);
?>

This then prints the array to screen.

The data I am trying to access is from the Expedia Affiliate Travel Network. The URL above is from their XML Sandbox.

My question is;

How is the above data that gets returned a JSON response when it should be XML?

and

How can I access the data in the returned array without printing the array to screen? (I've tried things like echo $xml->hotelId[0] and using a foreach statement to no avail).

I'm just a little confused here and have spent quite a number of hours trying to figure this out and reading other resources around the web on SimpleXML (including the PHP Manual). When working with other examples found elsewhere I seem to be ok but when dealing with this URL I seem to be out of my depth.

The XML Sandbox from the EAN network is located: http://ean.mashery.com/docs/hotels/assets/XML_Sandbox

The URL I am using is supposed to return a well formed XML result set.

Thanks for your assistance.

Hello,

Hope somebody can help me.
I have an XML file that is generated by active directory that dumps everything required for a telephone directory.
I currently present this using XSL but would like to move towards PHP.

I have some rudimentary code and it's working fine but I'd like to be able to sort by various values, such as First Name or telephone number.

My XML format looks like this:

Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<telephonelist>
<employee>
<firstname>Jimmy</firstname>
<lastname>Jimmerson</lastname>
<email>jimbo@companyxyz.com</email>

<lastname>Davidson</lastname>
<email>David.Davidson@companyxyz.com</email>
<extensionnum>968</extensionnum>
<jobtitle>Manager</jobtitle>
<department>Management</department>
</employee>
Any my current code looks like this:

Code: [Select]
<?
$myStaffMembers = new SimpleXMLElement("includes/telephonelist.xml", null, true);

echo <<<EOF
<table width="95%" border="0">
<tr>
<th><b>First Name</b></th>
<th><b>Last Name</b></th>
<th><b>Telephone Number</b></th>
<th><b>Position</b></th>
</tr>
EOF;

foreach($myStaffMembers as $myStaffMember)

echo "
<tr>
<td>{$myStaffMember->firstname}</td>
<td>{$myStaffMember->lastname}</td>
<td>{$myStaffMember->extensionnum}</td>

</tr>";
}
?>
Appreciate any help anybody could give.

Hello,

I'm trying to read the data of a xml file with the help of simplexml. I'm having trouble reading subchilds.

For example im trying to read the following xml:

<root>
<child>
<subchild>
<dataineed/>
<dataineed/>
<dtaineed/>
<subchild>
</child>
</root>

I'm using the following code:

<?php

$oLinkjes = new SimpleXMLElement('http://feedlink.php', 0, TRUE);

$countcat = count($oLinkjes->subchild);

echo $countcat;

?>

It echo's the the result '0' which means that it does not successfully reads the subchild. Because of that i can't get the data i want.
When i change subchild to child is does echo '1'.

Anyone knows what I'm doing wrong here? I'm new to xml so there might be a easy fix to this.

Greetings,

I am trying to write XML using SimpleXML for a web service call. I was having success until the XML got a little more complicated. Here is the XML format where I am running into problems:

Code: [Select]

<Addresses />
<PhoneNumbers>
<Phone Type='1' Number='888-555-1212'>

</Person>
</Agent>

Here is my php:
Code: [Select]
$xmlOutput = new SimpleXMLElement('<?xml version="1.0"?><ReportRequest> </ReportRequest>');
$xmlOutput->addAttribute('CID','9200');
$xmlOutput->addAttribute('Diagram','1');

$agent->addAttribute('First','John');
$agent->addAttribute('Title','');
$agent->addAttribute('Type','1');
$agent->addAttribute('Number','888-555-1212');
$agent->addAttribute('TypeName','Office');
$agent->addAttribute('Extension','');

Header('Content-type: text/xml');

echo $xmlOutput->asXML();

Everything outputs as it should until the line that starts with $agent. I want the output to match the section above. I have tried several variations but I cannot seem to figure it out. I know the current PHP sample doesn't work. Help??

Thanks in advance,

Simplexml If Statement?

Working with a now playing module for some music.

My music player outputs this kind of XML (WHEN THE SONG IS PLAYING):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <Playing station="Station">
- <item type="MUS">
<Artist>Beatles</Artist>
<SongTitle>Get Back</SongTitle>
</item>
</Playing>

My music player outputs this kind of XML (WHEN THE SONG IS NOT PLAYING):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <Playing station="Station">
- <item type="END">
<Artist>MORE MUSIC SOON</Artist>
<SongTitle />
</item>
</Playing>

Here's my PHP:

Code: [Select]
<?php

  $playing = simplexml_load_file("../playlist/nowplaying.xml");

  foreach ($playing->item as $item) {
      printf("Now playing: %s\n", $item->SongTitle);
      printf("by %s\n", $item->Artist);
      }


  ?>
I want to make my php document check the item TYPE. (item type="x"). If x equals "MUS", display the PHP like above. But if x displays "END", I want it to display something like "More music coming up".

Right now, it displays "MORE MUSIC SOON by "

I've attempted if statements to no avail, mainly because I'm not super familiar with them in PHP.

Ideas?

Hey there,

I'm having a issue when I edit the XML file from a string here. Now the SimpleXML functions edit the nodes of the XML file perfectly and everything is done the way I want but upon returning the file to a string it keeps putting a XML content type at the top of the file, E.G:

Before XML File Is Edited:

Code: [Select]
<settings>

<port>7781</port>


<maxplayers>10</maxplayers>


<maxvehicles>100</maxvehicles>





<listed>true</listed>


<hostname>IV:MP Server</hostname>





<frequentevents>false</frequentevents>


<script>cp.nut</script>
<script>whisper.nut</script>
<script>namecheck.nut</script>
<script>runcode.nut</script>






</settings>

After XML File Is Edited

Code: [Select]
<?xml version=1.0?>
<settings>

<port>7781</port>


<maxplayers>10</maxplayers>


<maxvehicles>100</maxvehicles>





<listed>true</listed>


<hostname>IV:MP Server</hostname>





<frequentevents>false</frequentevents>


<script>cp.nut</script>
<script>whisper.nut</script>
<script>namecheck.nut</script>
<script>runcode.nut</script>






</settings>

Notice the addition to the header of the file "<?xml version=1.0?>". This is causing issues when the XML file is read by the server. Could anybody help me stop the SimpleXML editor from placing this in the header of the file? Thanks.

$simpleXMLObj=simplexml_load_file("email.xml");

foreach($simpleXMLObj->message[0]->to[0] AS $curDOM) {
