PHP - Getting Data Via Osm Overpass Api With Xpath & Php-simplexml
good evening dear php-freaks,
hope you are all right.
My tactic is as follows:
1. i run requests to the openstreetmap-endpoint- (see below) and i try three different APIs per request isn't that easy on ressources and 2. I don't know how to work with the results that i gather from the OpenStreetmap-Endpoint
as of the first point: - workin on the endpoint of OSM-Overpass-API.... see my approach: <?php /** * OSM Overpass API with PHP SimpleXML / XPath * * PHP Version: 5.4 - Can be back-ported to 5.3 by using 5.3 Array-Syntax (not PHP 5.4's square brackets) */ // // 1.) Query an OSM Overpass API Endpoint // $query = 'node ["amenity"~".*"] (38.415938460513274,16.06338500976562,39.52205163048525,17.51220703125); out;'; $context = stream_context_create(['http' => [ 'method' => 'POST', 'header' => ['Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'], 'content' => 'data=' . urlencode($query), ]]); # please do not stress this service, this example is for demonstration purposes only. $endpoint = 'http://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter'; libxml_set_streams_context($context); $start = microtime(true); $result = simplexml_load_file($endpoint); printf("Query returned %2\$d node(s) and took %1\$.5f seconds.\n\n", microtime(true) - $start, count($result->node)); // // 2.) Work with the XML Result //
so far so good: with this i get a bunch of data.....
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <osm version="0.6" generator="Osmosis SNAPSHOT-r26564" xapi:planetDate="2014-10-07T15:42:02Z" xmlns:xapi="http://jxapi.openstreetmap.org/"> <node id="251652819" version="6" timestamp="2013-10-19T14:03:10Z" uid="1198089" user="GeorgeKaplan" changeset="18434238" lat="48.8527413" lon="2.3333559"> <tag k="dispensing" v="yes"/> <tag k="website" v="http://www.pharmacie-paris-citypharma.fr/"/> <tag k="name" v="Pharmacie Citypharma in downtown paris"/> <tag k="amenity" v="pharmacy"/> </node> <node id="251774849" version="9" timestamp="2014-07-28T21:28:26Z" uid="92075" user="Art Penteur" changeset="24411346" lat="48.8468043" lon="2.3696423"> <tag k="phone" v="0143430996"/> <tag k="dispensing" v="yes"/> <tag k="name" v="Pharmacie de la Rapée in downtown paris"/> <tag k="amenity" v="pharmacy"/> <tag k="opening_hours" v="Mo-Fr 08:30-20:30; Sa 09:00-19:30"/> </node> <node id="263262912" version="3" timestamp="2014-07-28T21:37:24Z" uid="92075" user="Art Penteur" changeset="24411346" lat="48.8446917" lon="2.3101829"> <tag k="dispensing" v="yes"/> <tag k="amenity" v="pharmacy"/> </node>
what is aimed: I am trying to filter the records based on the attributes that i find in the dataset, <tag k="name" v="blahblahblah"/> field.
I have been looking around and the classical way to do it its easy, however because of my poor skills in doing anything Is it possible to apply xml filtering for tags that look like this <tag k="dispensing" v="yes"/> ones that do not have the <tag></tag>
.....format. Also how can i filter the records when each child of the node has different attributes,like v, <tag k="name">Pharmacie in Paris-downtown - Rapée-metro-station</tag>
i have had a quick look at the PHP-SimpleXML and the XPath-approach: it may help me in achieving what is aimed.
but at the moment - i think i got stuck.
i greatly appreciated hints and some ideas that may fit her.
have a great day. - yours dil_bert Edited December 1, 2019 by dil_bert Similar TutorialsI am trying to parse a blogspot feed using xpath but it doesnt seem to be working with anything that I try. I am not sure if it is because of the namespaces or what but I was hoping someone could help me. Here is the code: $xml = simplexml_load_file('http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/MKuf'); $next = $xml->xpath("//link[@rel='next']"); print_r($next); This is just returning an empty array and it should not be. I tried it doing just link or just entry and it still is returning empty. The only one I can run on it that works is *. Any help is appreciated. So here's what I'm trying to do, and I haven't found any clear tutorials on how to properly navigate a DOMDocument object, at least not in the strict sense of PHP. I'm building a web scraper, I've had it working for some time now using more traditional methods (a combination of string manipulation and clever regex). I've been told xpath can be much faster and more reliable for what I need. Sold. Let's say I'm parsing a forum. This forum separates each reply in a post with a set of <li></li> with a class of "message" Code: [Select] <li class="message"> // Stuff here </li> <li class="message"> // Stuff here </li> So far so good. These list items contain all the formatting for each post, including user info and the message text. Each sitting in it's own div. Code: [Select] <li class="message"> <div class="user info"> User info here </div> <div class="message text"> Message text here </div> </li> <li class="message"> <div class="user info"> User info here </div> <div class="message text"> Message text here </div> </li> Still with me? Good. With this bit of code I can select each message list item block and iterate over all the sub nodes inside. Code: [Select] $items = $xpath->query("//li[starts-with(@class, 'message')]"); for ($i = 0; $i < $items->length; $i++) { echo $items->item($i)->nodeValue . "\n"; } This produces a basic text dump of the entire forum. Close, but not what I need. What I'm trying to do is as follows Select all the class="message" list items [done] Once those have been selected, run another $xpath->query to select the child nodes which contain the user info and message text Step one is done, step two is what is confusing me. How can I run a new query based on the output from the first query? Thanks guys hello dear community, good day,
I've been having an issue trying to parse text in a span cass with DOM. Here is my code example. try to extract some lines out of a webpage - with following technique: with the Extraction of values of attributes of elements with DOMDocument. Here is what i have gathered and learned:
$remote = "http://website.com/"; $doc = new DOMDocument(); @$doc->loadHTMLFile($remote); $xpath = new DOMXpath($doc); $node = $xpath->query('//span[@class="user"]'); echo $node;
and this returns the following
error -> "Catchable fatal error: Object of class DOMNodeList could not be converted to string".
And now - with this i need help.
What I am trying to do is parse the user name between this tag;
<div class="widget plugin-meta"> <h3 class="screen-reader-text">Meta</h3>
see more below:Here the concrete example view-source: https://wordpress.org/plugins/participants-database/ and https://wordpress.org/plugins/participants-database/
goal i need the following data:
Version: Last updated: Active installations: Tested up:
view-source: https://wordpress.org/plugins/participants-database/
Proceedings; i checked the source of the webpage. i tried to find out whether the texte is related to some kind of pattern.i have looked closely and found that all of them have class=”widget plugin-meta” . Well - This will make extracting them, a piece of cake. I tried with the code below helps to filter html elements based on values of attributes. but unfortunatley this ends up in a bad result; i need a helping hand and need to know how to parse the above mentioned data

Any idea for the starting-point!? I love to hear from you.
Hi, I have an XML Feed which is using ID's or Types. I need to select the specific node and convert it to a variable. Example XML Feed: Code: [Select] <tour> <tourName>Amazon Riverboat Adventure</tourName> <dossierCode>PVIIA</dossierCode> <tripDetails> <tripDetail type="StartFinish">ex Lima</tripDetail> <tripDetail type="What's Included">Lots of stuff </tripDetail> </tripDetails> I have been extracting this data by using: <?php if(!$xml=simplexml_load_file('xmlfeed.xml')){ trigger_error('Error reading XML file',E_USER_ERROR); } foreach ($xml->tourName as $tourname) foreach ($xml->dossierCode as $agentcode) ?> However I am unsure how I can extract the "ex lima" from StartFinish as $startfinish. Can anyone help? Many thanks! Hey, Having some troubles extracting data from simpleXML object. var_dump outputs all the stuff correctly but when i try access data in the object, it just comes back empty. $rss = "/data/rss/"; $rss = file_get_contents($rss); // simplexml_load_file() fails $feed = new SimpleXMLElement($rss); foreach($feed->item as $news) { echo $news->title; // returns empty } echo $feed->item->title; // also is empty so var_dump($feed) outputs this, shortened version: object(SimpleXMLElement)#10 (2) { ["@attributes"]=> array(1) { ["version"]=> string(3) "2.0" } ["channel"]=> object(SimpleXMLElement)#11 (6) { ["title"]=> string(38) "Bradford Bulls Super League Rugby News" ["description"]=> string(75) "RSS Feed for the latest Bradford Bulls Super League rugby news and updates." ["link"]=> string(46) "http://www.superleaguefans.com/bradford-bulls/" ["language"]=> string(2) "en" ["pubDate"]=> string(26) "Sat, 03 Sep 13:42:39 +0100" ["item"]=> array(10){ [0]=> object(SimpleXMLElement)#12 (1) { ["title"]=> string(32) "Briggs and Walker in Bulls squad" } } } } so, $feed->item->title should return the ["title"] contents, but it doesn't, driving me crazy. what am i doing wrong? Any pointers will be much appreciated, thank you. I am trying to use php to loop through an xml file and reorganize the data. For example, if I have a xml file about books and the first xml sub tag under the <book> tag is "<type>" . I would like to make the following tags (nodes?) as child nodes under the type tag. For example, instead of this: Code: [Select] <book> <type>nonFiction</type> <title>Advanced PHP Programming</title> <author>George Schlossnagle</author> <publisher>Developer Library</publisher> <category>1</category> <category>3</category> </book> <book> <type>Fiction</type> <title>My Novel</title> <author>Same Nagle</author> <publisher>Developer Library</publisher> <category>1</category> <category>3</category> </book> I want to make the xml look like this: Code: [Select] <book> <type>nonFiction <title>Advanced PHP Programming</title> <author>George Schlossnagle</author> <publisher>Developer Library</publisher> <category>1</category> <category>3</category> </type> </book> <book> <type>Fiction <title>My Novel</title> <author>Same Nagle</author> <publisher>Developer Library</publisher> <category>1</category> <category>3</category> </type> </book> [attachment deleted by admin] My parser: <?php if (isset($_GET['formSubmit'])) { $option = $_GET['option']; $option = array_values($option); if (!empty($option)){ $xml = simplexml_load_file('differences.xml'); $i = 0; $count = count($option); ?> <table> <tr> <td>Item</td> <td>Code</td> <td>Type</td> <td>Level</td> </tr> <?php while($i < $count) { $selected = $xml->xpath("//item[contains(@name,'".$option[$i]."')]"); echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>".$selected[0]['name']."</td>"; echo "<td>".$selected[0]['code']."</td>"; echo "<td>".$selected[0]['type']."</td>"; echo "<td>".$selected[0]['requiredLevel']."</td>"; echo "</tr>"; $i++; } ?> </table> This works great however requiredLevel is showing nothing.

The HTML looks like this: Code: [Select] div id="body"> <br> <br> text1 <hr> text2 <br> <br> text3 So far I have: Code: [Select] $lastdata= $simplexml->xpath("//div[@id='body']/following-sibling::node [last()]"); This is not working. I would appreciate any help. Thank you in advance, Bill Hi all, I am pretty new to php and I am having an issue trying to load an XML document. When ever I try to use Xpath it negates all the code below the line, including the HTML, and returns a white page. here is my code: Code: [Select] <html> <head> <?php $xpath = new DOMXPath("structure.xml"); ?> <body> hello world </body> </html> I checked phpinfo() and I have both the DOM and XPath enables and installed. I have also tried using just DOM and that worked so it is only Xpath that is not working. Ideas?

Thanks. Hello, I recently moved hosts and upgraded to PHP 7.4.10. Suddenly, one of my sites is having issues with XSL views. The software creator claims this is an issue with XSL in PHP. I am unsure of what to check to troubleshoot this. Would anyone have an opinion on my issue? If not, please let me know if I should be posting somewhere else altogether. Thanks in advance - Quote

I've got an xml document... <library id="1"> <lname>Lib1</name> <book id="1"> <title>book 1</title> <author>Author 1</author> </book> <book id="2"> <title>book 2</title> <author>Author 2</author> </book> </library> I can access the nested elements using xpath like : $result = $xml->xpath('//book'); foreach($result as $books) { echo $books->title; } How would I do this for the attributes? If I specify I want the attributes in the xpath query I can't get at the elements... I'm trying to turn this xml file into a simple relational database... A library table and a book table. So I need the library id (attribute) and the name(nested element) for one insert query - and the book id, title, author and the library id for the other. Anyone got any idea?

Here is the xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> - <Device id="S10011" hb="1935"> <Group id="1" /> <Group id="2" /> <Group id="3" /> <Group id="4" /> <Group id="5" /> <Group id="6" /> <Group id="7" /> <Group id="8" /> - <Group id="9"> - <Probe id="99"> <Value>1.0</Value> </Probe> - <Probe id="1"> <Value>86.4</Value> </Probe> - <Probe id="2"> <Value>45.7</Value> </Probe> - <Probe id="3"> <Value>2.9</Value> </Probe> - <Probe id="4"> <Value>1.0</Value> </Probe> </Group> </Device> ----------------------- Here is my php code to read in the xml: <?php // Establish a port 80 connection $http = fsockopen("192.168.2.106",80); // Send a request to the server $req = "GET /xmldata HTTP/1.0\r\n"; $req .= "Host: 192.168.2.106\r\n"; $req .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n"; fputs($http, $req); // Output the request results while(!feof($http)) { $data .= fgets($http, 1024); } // Close the connection fclose($http); $xml = simplexml_load_string($data); print_r ($xml); ?> This yields the following data: SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => S10011 [hb] => 117546 ) [Group] => Array ( => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 1 ) => ) [1] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 2 ) => ) [2] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 3 ) => ) [3] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 4 ) => ) [4] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 5 ) => ) [5] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 6 ) => ) [6] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 7 ) => ) [7] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 8 ) => ) [8] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 9 ) [Probe] => Array ( => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 99 ) [Value] => 1.0 ) [1] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 1 ) [Value] => 84.2 ) [2] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 2 ) [Value] => 44.1 ) [3] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 3 ) [Value] => 4.8 ) [4] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 4 ) [Value] => 1.0 ) ) ) ) ) I would like to display group 9 probe 1 value for example and I cannot get it to work. Any tips? so the code is <?php $xml1 = " <outer> <xml> <more_info> <user> <id>200</id> <name>CLUEL3SS</name> </user> <user> <id>201</id> <name>CLUEL3SS2</name> </user> </more_info> </xml> </outer> "; $cwb = simplexml_load_string($xml1); foreach($cwb->xml->more_info->user as $stats) { echo $stats->id."\n";} ?> output is Code: [Select] 200 201 Now, how can I echo the name under <id>201</id> since there is more than one? echo $stats->id."\n"; That echos both of the "ID" values, now how can I get it to only echo the second id 201 and the second name?
