PHP - Deleting An 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.

XML file:   <?xml version="1.0" ... >
<database xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/20...hema-instance">
    <record>
        <id>1</id>
        <name></name>     </record>
    <record>         ...     </record>
</database>   I want to delete the record where <id> equals $_GET['id']. I tried many suggested implementations based on xml or simplexml, without result. Came across a very simple workaround (it should omit the record where id=$id), but can someone help me to taylor it to my xml scheme?   <?php
$file = "database.xml";

$id = $_GET['id'];
echo "DELETING: ".$id;
$xml = simplexml_load_file($file);

$str = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>
<database>";

foreach($xml->children() as $child){
if($child->getName() == "id") {
if($id == $child['name']) {
continue;
} else {
$str = $str.$child->asXML();
}
}
}
$str = $str."
</database>";
echo $str;

$xml->asXML("database_backup.xml");
$fh = fopen($file, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fwrite($fh, $str);
fclose($fh);
?>

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

else
        print "NO:";
?>

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 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>

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.

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>

             <title>My Novel</title>

             <category>1</category>
             <category>3</category>
        </type>
   </book>


[attachment deleted by admin]

Could anyone tell me why this is not deleting the userip and post id from the database at all.

Thanks


Code: [Select]
<?php
include('dbcon.php');

if($_REQUEST['postId'])
{
$userip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

mysql_query("update collapsed_likes set likes=likes-1 where post_id= ".$_REQUEST['postId']);

mysql_query("delete from collapsed_ip where userip=".$userip." AND post_id = ".$_REQUEST['postId']);

$total_likes = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM collapsed_likes where post_id = ".$_REQUEST['postId']." ");
$likes = mysql_fetch_array($total_likes);
$likes = $likes['likes'];
}
echo $likes;
?>

Hi, this is the first time I've asked for some help from a forum. I guess this code has sort of got me stumped.

So, I have a system where a user can enter a number. The number goes into a mysql database. A random number is also generated and it is added into another column.

So, I want users to be able to delete the number using the random number. I've shown it to them, and I need help working my delete script.
Code: [Select]
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","","");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("a8784hos_adopts", $con);
$adopt = $_POST['adoptid'];
$uniquecode = $_POST['uniquecode'];
$result = mysql_query("SELECT uniquecode, id FROM id WHERE id='$adopt'");
mysql_fetch_array($result);
if (($adopt == $row['id']) || ($uniquecode == $row['uniquecode'])){
mysql_query("DELETE FROM id WHERE id='$adopt'");
echo 'Done! <br/><br/><a href="tester.php">Go back....</a>';
}
else {
echo 'Bad unique code. <br/><br/><a href="tester.php">Go back....</a>';
}
?>

So, the random number is uniquecode in the database, and the number is id. However, when I try this code, it always tell me I have a bad unique code. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Hi, When i launch my code i get the following php error:

The rm -rf command sintax is ok on the linux bash, but from php i receive the error.
Php safe mode is off. Can someone help, please ?

I'm just trying to get suggestions on what people think would be the best way to go with this. With the bottom part of this card where it s tarts working with the foreach loop its taking what was a UL and for each of each LI's and updating a table with its new data however this way isn't going to work as this is editing a user. Because there could be 5 in the database but the new edit user has only 4 lis so I'm sure you could all see the issue here. What I'm thinking would be best is to have it DELETE the existing characterIDs that have WHERE handler_ID = $handlerID and then just do a new INSERT statement. Anyone else think this would be the best way to go about this?


Code: [Select]
if (mysqli_num_rows($Qresult) == 0) {
        $query = "UPDATE `handlers`
            SET `userName` = '".$userName."', `password`='".$password."', `firstName`='".$firstName."', `lastName`='".$lastName."', `statusID`='".$statusID."', `isAdmin`='".$admin."', `defaultCharID`='".$defaultCharID."', `email`='".$email."' WHERE `ID` = '".$handlerID."'"; 
        mysqli_query($dbc, $query);
        foreach ($characterIDs as $cID) {
               $query2 = "UPDATE `handler_characters`
               SET `handler_id` = '".$handlerID."', `characterID` = '".$cID."'";
               mysqli_query($dbc, $query2);
        }
        $result = "good";
    }
