PHP - Sql Data Through Php Feed Into A Js Hashmap

Hi

I have been trying to grab some data from an XML feed parse it and then insert it into a database. I will only need to do this on one occasion so no update or deletes.

Sample of xml structu
Code: [Select]
<property>
<id>34935</id>
<date>2009-11-03 06:52:45</date>
<ref>SVS0108</ref>
<price>450000</price>
<currency>EUR</currency>
<price_freq>sale</price_freq>
</property>

Using xml2array class to parse the feed:

<?php
/**
 * xml2array Class
 * Uses PHP 5 DOM Functions
 *
 * This class converts XML data to array representation.

My array structure looks like this:

                )

            [date] => Array
                (
                    [#text] => 2009-11-03 06:52:45
                )

            [ref] => Array
                (
                    [#text] => SVS0108
                )

            [price] => Array
                (
                    [#text] => 450000
                )

            [currency] => Array
                (
                    [#text] => EUR
                )

            [price_freq] => Array
                (
                    [#text] => sale
                )

            [part_ownership] => Array
                (
                    [#text] => 0
                )


Can somebody help with actually getting this into some format that will enable me to insert this into my database please

Hi

I get an error when trying to add a link to my rss feed
Code: [Select]
<link>http://www.jobjar.co.uk/jobdetails.php?keywords=lon0014&page=1</link>Something to do with the last part of the link because when I remove the page=1 it then works. How can I resolve this?

Also, will I have to manually update my xml file for rss feeds or can it be updated automatically? If so how?

Thanks

I'm lost on this one. This code works fine in Firefox, but not my IE8. I think it has something to do with the <?php echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>'; ?> line, but i'm not sure. IE says "Internet Explorer cannot display this feed" and "A name contained an invalid character. Line: 7 Character: 701." Any ideas?

<?php header('Content-Type: text/xml'); ?>
<?php echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>'; ?>
<?php include('../vars.php'); ?>
<rss version="2.0">
  <channel>
    <title>Newsfeed</title>
    <description>News and Updates</description>
    <link>http://www.example.com</link>
    <language>en-us</language>
<?php
require_once("../conn.php");

  $query = "SELECT * FROM news";
  $data = mysqli_query($db, $query);

  while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($data)) {

    echo '<item>';
    echo '  <title>' . $row['title'] . ' - ' . substr($row['content'], 0, 32) . '...</title>';
    echo '  <link>http://www.example.com/new.php?newsid=' . $row['newsid'] . '</link>';
    //echo '  <pubDate>' . $row['date'] . '</pubDate>';
    echo '  <description>' . $row['content'] . '</description>';
    echo '</item>';
  }
?>

  </channel>
</rss>

Hi All,

I'm trying to incorporate a BBC Sport RSS Feed into my website.


The following code will show me the news feeds as text and I can include the url's as text also but want to turn this into a clickable url. How do I do this, I cant work it? please help. 

$feed_url = "http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/sportonline_uk_edition/football/teams/s/shrewsbury/rss.xml";

  // Get data from feed file
  $response = file_get_contents($feed_url);
   
  // Insert XML into structure
  $xml = simplexml_load_string($response);

  // Browse structure
  foreach($xml->channel->item as $one_item)
    echo $one_item->title."<BR>";
