PHP - Reading Xml's Value By Name
Hello, I'm trying to read some XML by name this is the XML:

Thanks! how can I read a url coming from another site by header('Location:') command I just can't wrap my head around it, but I am trying to integrate weather into my website using NOAA. 1. Here is the NOAA page: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Mio&state=MI&site=APX&lat=44.663&lon=-84.1446 2. Here is the XML to that page: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=44.66300&lon=-84.14460&FcstType=dwml Now what I want to do is to have PHP on my website that reads the XML from the NOAA site and create the "Forecast At A Glance". Possible or too challenging? I am trying to go through all of the emails in an inbox with php. I saw a way to do it with imap_open, but I don't have the imap functions installed. Does anyone know of another way to do this? I would think someone would have written a 3rd party library that just uses sockets -- kind of like phpmailer but for receiving instead of sending. Hi there I am working on PHP form which has an array named: $productOptions. When I do: print_r($productOptions); it returns: Array ( [124] => Array ( [optionId] => 124 [optionName] => acer aspire [optionListId] => 28 [dateCreated] => 2010-11-04 12:48:53 [enabled] => 1 [optionQtyId] => 84 [productId] => 40 [quantity] =>7 ) [114] => Array ( [optionId] => 114 [optionName] => acer fast [optionListId] => 28 [dateCreated] => 2010-11-01 02:04:53 [enabled] => 1 [optionQtyId] => 83 [productId] => 40 [quantity] => 0 ) Now from this Array, I would like to check if the quantity if greater than Zero. so I tried: if (productOptions[quantity] > 0){ echo "blah blah..." } But for getting the quantity, the part: productOptions[quantity] returns nothing. Am I doing this correctly? Please reply. Thank you hi i am a making a site in which m saving a songs information in database then fetching that out for inserting song link m using readdir function that read all song in a folder then save them in database but i have problem when that read file name .mp3 also include with that which i don't want to show on page where i fetch that mean simply i want that i can insert song name separately and file separately... and i want to use readdir also for getting file name becoz that easy way instead of upload through panel ..? any idea or solution about adding separately file name Hi all, how do I read emails sent to an email account on my site such as admin@mysite.com? Hi People. Here is a form that is supposed to read from my database. My primary key is called "index" and I have about 300 records in the database. I wanted to be able to view the records but when I load this page the "php" part is empty. I simply get given a blank form. I know it is connecting to the DB OK because I changed one letter in the password and then got a "can't connect to the database error" just to test it out.

Debbie I have been studying PHP for a long time. I can write a simple PHP guestbook now. But you know, it's so so so simply, even the green hand can attack on my site. I want to improve my PHP skill, so i decide to read a big php program such as a shopping cart. Finally i choose the cart Eclime. But when i read the code, i find it's so difficult for me to understand it. Maybe i am in the wrong way to study PHP. Anyone tell me what i should do now ...

So here is what I have going. #1 - My weather station software processes a file and enters variables and then uploads it as a php file. #2 - Currently the station also just uploads every file to the site and enters the data in the html, but I would rather have it only upload this one file and the other pages grab data from it and print it out. I have a few php scrips in there to preform certain functions (if temp <= 32 it echos that data in blue and so on) but would rather make most of it php so I have less files being uploaded every 5 minutes. This is what the station sends to the web, but I have no idea how to get the other pages to read it and input the variables from it. Hello, I am trying to read data from a text file but also adding up the 4th column for example 'name' 'more' '1.00' 'evenmore' so were the 1.00 is I want to add it up is there anyway ? Hi, guys. I'm trying to wrap my head around trying to read a header in a binary file in php. So, far, I have been able to get the data into a string using file_get_contents. Now, I think I need to use unpack, but it's a bit confusing to me still. For example, my file starts by having a 1 byte version number, 4 bytes to represent a number of walls, then "number of walls" * 40 bytes for the actual walls. But, the problem is, the wall itself is a structure composed of various elements to make up that 40 bytes, from which I'll need to pick out a specific area of interest. I can do this easily in C, but in php. I can't think how to grab the info. Any ideas? Maybe just how to read 1 byte, 4 bytes, then "number of walls" * 40 bytes will get me in the right direction. Hey guys and girls, I am rather new to php and I have ran into a problem with my code that I hope someone can help me with. I have tried multiple things to get this to work but I never get the result I am after. I either end up with only one lot of information being displayed or with information for every member being displayed. I am able to get all the information I need from the first database table and display it but after completing that task I decided that I wanted to show the "nickname" of the owner of the image. To do this I need to take the information from the "owner" column from table one and link it to the "ID" column of table two. If anyone can help I will be very very greatful as it has been annoying me for a couple of hours now! The code I have so far is: (Please note I have replaced some information with "*****" for obvious reasons) <?php mysql_connect("localhost", "*******", "*****") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("********") or die(mysql_error()); $dir = "*****************"; $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `***********`") or die(mysql_error()); $query2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `*********`") or die(mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { $id = $row[ID]; $title = $row[Title]; $uri = $row[Uri]; $owner = $row[Owner]; $views = $row[Views]; $featured = $row[Featured]; } while($secondrow = mysql_fetch_array($query2)) { $id2 = $secondrow[ID]; $nickname = $secondrow[NickName]; } if($featured == "1"){ if ($id2 == $owner){ echo '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><style type="text/css">'; echo '.centering {display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top:10px; }'; echo '</style></head><body>'; echo '<div style="margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:170px; background-color:#fff; padding:10px;"><div class="boxContent"><div class="dbContent"> <a href="m/videos/view/'.$uri.'"><img src="'.$dir.''.$id.'.jpg" width="140px" height="110px" style="border:6px double #545565;"/></div></a><br /><p><div class="sys_file_search_title" style="margin-top:-15px;"><a href="m/videos/view/'.$uri.'">'.$title.'</a><br /></div><div class="sys_file_search_from" style="margin-top:0px;">From <a href="'.$nickname.'">'.$nickname.'</a><br /></div><div class="sys_file_search_when" style="margin-top:0px;">'.$views.'

I assume this is so it can still use the & to seperate variables placed into the URL. When i print_r the $_GET i get this: [name] => [lt;table] My question is... is there a function which decodes this? For example, the name, "<table>" is actually stored in my table due to html entities as you see therefore if the name is ever passed via the URL, the & messes it all up. Furthermore, are there any other characters like this i should be looking out for? |
