[PHP]My XML stuff

Adil · Oct 27, 2011

kso basically, I was reading up on a tutorial, and I created this little xml parser.

PHP:

<?php
$url = 'clientmsg.xml';
$xml = simplexml_load_file($url);
//get stuff now
$title=$xml->header[0]->title;
$body=$xml->header[0]->body;
$footer=$xml->header[0]->footer;
echo $title . " " .  $body . " " .$footer;
?>

All is good and well. However, there is one major flaw, which is the array. The array value (header[0]) would need to be changed manually, every time I want to parse a new header. Is there any way of doing this automatically?

Could you provide the XML file?

My XML file

HTML:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<client>
<header>
<title>@@</title>
<body>hi</body>
<footer>aaa</footer>
</header>
<header>
<title>@A</title>
<body>hi</body>
<footer>aduojefkf</body>
<footer>adil</footer>
</header>
</client>

This is how you'd do it:

PHP:

<?php
$url = 'sauce.xml';
$xml = simplexml_load_file($url);

foreach($xml->header as $header) {
  echo $header->title.' '.$header->body.' '.$header->footer.'<br />';
}
