Hi
I'm not yet very familiar with PHP, XML and curl, so I need your help.
Trying to get flight number, but here is something weird.
This is the XML-file I get from Finavia API;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<flights xmlns="http://www.finavia.fi/FlightsService.xsd"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<arr>
<header>
<timestamp>2024-08-22T01:52:35Z</timestamp>
<from>Finavia</from>
<description>Arrival flight data</description>
</header>
<body>
<flight>
<h_apt>KEM</h_apt>
<fltnr>AY519</fltnr>
<sdt>2024-08-22T16:55:00Z</sdt>
<sdate>20240822</sdate>
<acreg>OHATH</acreg>
<actype>AT75</actype>
................
</flight>
</body>
</arr>
Using this PHP code to get started;
<?php
$xml = simplexml_load_file('flights.xml');
$otsikot = $xml->xpath('//flight[fltnr="AY456"]/acreg');
// Tulosta tulokset
foreach ($otsikot as $otsikko) {
echo $otsikko . "<br>";
}
?>
This returns empty page, but when I remove lines;
<flights xmlns="http://www.finavia.fi/FlightsService.xsd"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
It works. Why is this?
AI told me to do it like this;
$otsikot = $xml->xpath('//flights:flight/flights:fltnr', $xml->getNamespaces());
But this crashes the whole page, so what is wrong and what should I do.
Thanks
