Indeed API

[seblondres]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to detect whether <totalresults> = 0 from the Indeed API.

 

Here is the code I'm using:

<?php

$search ='oihhb';           

$xml = simplexml_load_file('http://api.indeed.com/ads/apisearch?publisher=xxxxxx&q='.$search.'&l=&sort=&radius=&st=&jt=&start='.$start.'&limit=1&fromage=&filter=&latlong=1&co=fr&chnl=&userip=1.2.3.4&useragent=Mozilla/%2F4.0%28Firefox%29&v=2');

foreach($xml->results->result as $result)
       if ($xml->totalresults == 0) {
         
         echo 'empty';   } else   { 
  
     echo $xml->totalresults;
    } 
 ?> 

As you can see from the code above, I'm searching for $search ='oihhb'; which purposely doesn't return any results - see <query> below:

<response version="2">
<query>oihhb</query>
<location/>
<dupefilter>true</dupefilter>
<highlight>false</highlight>
<totalresults>0</totalresults>
<start>0</start>
<end>0</end>
<pageNumber>0</pageNumber>
<results></results>
</response>

So I want to do, it's to echo 'empty' if <totalresults> = 0 but I can't get it work i.e. I can't print 'empty'. However I have to say that I can print the total number of results: echo $xml->totalresults;

 

So must be something wrong with if ($xml->totalresults == 0).

 

If someone could point me to the right direction.

 

Many Thanks,
