My PHP code is generating XML with a blank first line before the <?xml version="1.0" ?>
see http://urbanbees.co.uk/maps/phpsqlajax_genxml3.php
I have been told this is the reason why my map is not showing the markers in chrome and FF but it is OK in IE8. see http://urbanbees.co.uk/maps/map_of_hive_locations_update.htm You'll either see markers or not depending on your broswer.
How do I change the code to not generate this first blank line.
Here is the php code.
<?php
require("phpsqlajax_dbinfo.php");
// Start XML file, create parent node
$dom = new DOMDocument("1.0");
$node = $dom->createElement("markers");
$parnode = $dom->appendChild($node);
// Opens a connection to a MySQL server
$connection=mysql_connect (localhost, $username, $password);
if (!$connection) { die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());}
// Set the active MySQL database
$db_selected = mysql_select_db($database, $connection);
if (!$db_selected) {
die ('Can\'t use db : ' . mysql_error());
}
// Select all the rows in the markers table
$query = "SELECT * FROM markers WHERE 1";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (!$result) {
die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}
header("Content-type: text/xml");
// Iterate through the rows, adding XML nodes for each
while ($row = @mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
// ADD TO XML DOCUMENT NODE
$node = $dom->createElement("marker");
$newnode = $parnode->appendChild($node);
$newnode->setAttribute("name",$row['name']);
$newnode->setAttribute("address", $row['address']);
$newnode->setAttribute("lat", $row['lat']);
$newnode->setAttribute("lng", $row['lng']);
$newnode->setAttribute("type", $row['type']);
}
echo $dom->saveXML();
?>
