PHP to read XML

Recommended Posts

Hi, I tried reading the following XML file using PHP. But it did not read. I deleted some contents and tried again. Now PHP reads and displays the XML file. I don't know the reason. Actually I need to create php forms like "image upload", "About-us page", "Register Page"...etc. While submitting the forms this xml file should be updated(on the related nodes) each time. Is all possible in PHP. Please help me.XML File<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <!-- This is the configuration xml, there are some short comments for each section, for more information refer to the help.txt file --> <content> <!-- General settings DO NOT REMOVE THIS TAGS!..

Thanks for quick response. I tried simple xml. But I was not able to read the complete file. If I delete some contents then I can able to read the file. My file size is 18.5 KB. Is it necessary to make any changes on the PHP configuration file (or) Shall I try PHP XML DOM or PHP XML SAX Parser. Which would be the best solution?R.Sridaran

Is this the complete XML you're trying to read? What exactly is the code you're using (copy&paste the PHP code itself)? What exactly do you expect to get, and what do you get instead?

I am getting blank page if I read this xml file. If I delete some contents then the script is reading the total file. Actually my task is to make updations on the xml file through PHP Form. As a first step I want to read this XML file.Here are my PHP code and XML Codes:PHP Code : 1<?php$xml = simplexml_load_file("config.xml");echo $xml->getName() . "<br />";foreach($xml->children() as $child) { if($child->getName()=="custom_window") echo $child->getName() . ": " . $child . "<br />"; foreach($child->children() as $c){ if($c->getName()=="text") echo $c->getName() . ": " . $c . "<br />"; } }?>PHP Code : 2<?php$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();$xmlDoc->load("config.xml");$x = $xmlDoc->documentElement;foreach ($x->childNodes AS $item) { print $item->nodeName . " = " . $item->nodeValue . "<br />"; }?>XML Code(config.xml)<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <!-- This is the configuration xml, there are some short comments for each section, for more information refer to the help.txt file --> <content> <!-- General settings DO NOT REMOVE THIS TAGS!..

Just what I thought... Your XML is not well-formed. Sorry for not seeing the exact error location earlier, but if you had error messages in PHP on, you'd have seen it before us all. Line 98 and 146 of your XML:

<gallery_label>FASHION & STYLE</gallery_label>

"&" is a special character, so you need to explicitly escape it, like:

<gallery_label>FASHION & STYLE</gallery_label>

Escaping those two amps is going to make both of your test files work. BTW, I'd reccomend using DOM. If you already know it from JavaScript, you can carry most of your knowledge here, and if you don't know it from JavaScript yet, learning it from PHP will help you learn it more easily in JavaScript.And in case you don't know how to enable error messages in PHP - from your php.ini, search for

error_reporting =

and make the whole line read

error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT

(this is to ensure you see all errors, including good code practices)Also, search for

display_errors =

and make the whole line read

display_errors = On

(this is to make sure you see errors on screen... you can alternatively make them be written to a file, but that's probably not a good idea during development)And finally save the file of course. You may have to restart your web server for the changes to take effect.

Thank you for letting me know the XML Error. I corrected it and now my php is reading the xml file. Also I set the php configuration file to enable error display. Now my work starts. I need to modify the xml file by submitting the php form. Is it possible to identify and replace any particular node from the above xml. This is new to me. Can you help me? I am trying the following code and getting parse error:xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("config.xml");x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("external_link")[0].childNodes[0];x.nodeValue="www.google.co.in";R.Sridaran

The DOM codes from W3Schools are for JavaScript. You need to use the PHP equivalents.You had the right idea with your second PHP sample... here's the JavaScript translated to its PHP equivalent:

<?php$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();$xmlDoc->load("config.xml");$x = $xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName("external_link")->item(0)->childNodes->item(0);$x->nodeValue = "www.google.co.in";/* Only if you want to save the changes, as opposed to just using altering the XML "one time" and keep using the old file in subsequent executions...JavaScript can't do that. */$xmlDoc->save("config.xml");?>

If in doubt about a function name or arguments, it's best to look in the PHP DOM reference.
