I have gotten a lot of help with my php to get, read and parse and xml file for NFL scores... it was working really great but then I found something and now I have a new problem...

 

Currently it reads as follows:

$url="http://www.nfl.com/liveupdate/scorestrip/postseason/ss.xml ";
  $ch = curl_init();
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);    // get the url contents
  $data = curl_exec($ch); // execute curl request
  curl_close($ch);
  
  $xml = simplexml_load_string($data);
  
 $games = array(
   'REG' => array(),
   'WC' => array(), 
   'DIV' => array(), 
   'CON' => array(),
   'SB'  => array()
 );
 
 foreach($xml->gms->g as $game) { // it's a single game
  // if (!empty($game['vtn']))
   {
     $games[(string) $game['gt']][] = $game;
   }
 }
 ?>
<div class='ticker'>
   			<ul>
 
     <?php
     foreach ($games as $gametype => $subgames) {
       foreach ($subgames as $game) {
         if ($game['gt'] == 'REG') {
       ?>
           <li data-subcategory='Regular Season' data-category='Week <?= $game['w'] ?>' data-color='1979ab'>
             <a href='#'><b><?= $game['h'] ?> <?= $game['hs'] ?>  <?= $game['v'] ?>  <?= $game['vs'] ?></b></a>
           </li>
           <?php
         } else if ($game['gt'] == 'WC') {
           ?>
           <li data-subcategory='Round 1' data-category='Wild Card Games' data-color='1979ab'>
             <a href='#'><b><?= $game['htn'] ?> <?= $game['hs'] ?>  <?= $game['vtn'] ?>  <?= $game['vs'] ?></b></a>
           </li>
           <?php
         } else if ($game['gt'] == 'DIV') {
           ?>
           <li data-subcategory='Round 2' data-category='Divisional Games' data-color='14ab05'>
             <a href='#'><b><?= $game['htn'] ?> <?= $game['hs'] ?>  <?= $game['vtn'] ?>  <?= $game['vs'] ?>  <?= $game['d'] ?> at <?= $game['t'] ?></b></a>
           </li>
           <?php
         } else if ($game['gt'] == 'CON') {
           ?>
           <li data-subcategory='Championship Games' data-category='Conference Games' data-color='000000'>
             <a href='#'><b><?= $game['htn'] ?> <?= $game['hs'] ?>  <?= $game['vtn'] ?>  <?= $game['vs'] ?>  <?= $game['d'] ?> at <?= $game['t'] ?></b></a>
           </li>
           <?php
         } else if ($game['gt'] == 'SB') {
           ?>
           <li data-subcategory='<img src=localhost/joomla/modules/mod_scores/images/nfl.png>' data-category='Super Bowl' data-color='000000'>
             <a href='#'><b><?= $game['htn'] ?> <?= $game['hs'] ?>  <?= $game['vtn'] ?>  <?= $game['vs'] ?>  <?= $game['d'] ?> at <?= $game['t'] ?></b></a>
           </li>
           <?php
         }
       }
     }
     ?>
   </ul>
 </div>

I did notice that this will work fantastic during the post season but in regular season it's a new issue... the post season xml reads out team names likes this "Carolina Panthers" as one of the elements.. however during the regular season that gets shortened to: "CAR".  

 

How do I get it to read the xml and change "CAR" Into "Caroline Panthers"?  I have to do this for all 32 teams...

 

Thanks everyone!

There's a couple ways to solve this problem. To answer what you asked, you can convert the abbreviations into team names like this:

$search = array(
    'CAR',
    'ARI',
    'ATL',
);

$replace = array(
    'Carolina Panthers',
    'Arizona Cardinals',
    'Atlanta Falcons',
);

$data = 'CAR';

$data = str_replace($search, $replace, $data);

// $data = Carolina Panthers
You didn't provide a sample of what the XML looks like, so that may or may not work. If $data is just the abbreviation, like in this example, then it should work. But if it's a whole bunch of other text, then you may end up replacing parts of a word or something.

They don't spell out the Carolina they just use CAR and I want to use Carolina :) or I could also just use the panthers but having it with a capital P would work.

So, the "v" attribute is present in both places with the team abbreviation. So you could do something like this:

$teams = array(
    'CAR' => 'Carolina Panthers',
    'ARI' => 'Arizona Cardinals',
    'ATL' => 'Atlanta Falcons',
);

echo $teams[$game['v']];
If $game['v'] is CAR, then you'll get Carolina Panthers.
