????????

i didn't know asking a question about a code you put was hijacking a thread as i haven't posted anything but questions on what you posted????????????? :-\

is this only limited to pairs?

hi maq....if i need more than one variable adding into a foreach loop is array_combine a good way to do? is it possible to use the && operator within a foreach()?

any ideas anyone?

hi zanus....thanks for the code but it's no help to me as i still can't include the values from photoT and captionT into the results as they should appear

and this is my code for the xml <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); $photoName = $_POST['photoT']; $picCaption = $_POST['captionT']; $random_digit = $_POST['random_digit']; $xmlFiles = array(); if(isset($_POST['create_xml'])){ // Create the object (with header) $xmltext = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<gallery></gallery>"; $xmlobj = simplexml_load_string($xmltext); // Loop through the POST items foreach ( $_POST['picT'] as $key => $picStart) { $nameCapsA = $xmlobj->addChild($picStart); $nameCapsA->addAttribute("name", "$photoName"); $nameCapsA->addAttribute("caption", $picCaption); } print header("Content-type: text/plain") . $xmlobj->asXML(); $path_dir = "xmlf/"; $path_dir .= $random_digit .".xml"; /* Data in Variables ready to be written to an XML file */ $fp = fopen($path_dir,'w'); $write = fwrite($fp,$xmlobj->asXML()); /* Loading the created XML file to check contents */ $sites = simplexml_load_file("$path_dir"); echo "<br> Checking the loaded file <br>" .$path_dir. "<br>"; echo "<br><br>Whats inside loaded XML file?<br>"; print_r($sites); } ?>

thanks....ill give that a go.....so you understand though here is my process. 1. Users upload pics 2. pics are renamed and relocated 3. pics are displayed using a table which is also generated as part of a form (code below), within the generated form there are these fields........picT, photoT, captionT.....picT is for the name of the xml child, photoT is for the image name and captionT is for the caption <form id="form2" name="form2" method="POST" action="xmltest.php"> <input type="hidden" name="create_xml" value="true"/> <input type="hidden" name="random_digit" id="random_digit" value="<?php print $random_digit;?>"/> <?php $returnURL = "http://ve-creative.com/test/8/templateEdit.php?template=$templateID&ID=$random_digit&=Step+2"; $path = "upload/$random_digit/"; // path to the directory to read ( ./ reads the dir this file is in) if ($handle = opendir($path)) { while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { if ($file != "." && $file != "..") { if(!is_dir($file)){ $item[] = $file; } } } closedir($handle); } $total_items = count($item); $max_items = ceil($total_items / 5); // items per <td> $start = 0; $end = $max_items //generate the table ?> <center> <table width="675px" border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <?php $r = 0; $i=1; $pn=1; $pto=1; for($n=0; $n<$total_items; $n++) { if($n !=0 && fmod($n, 5) == 0) { echo "</tr><tr>"; } $imageL= $path.$item[$n]; if (substr($imageL,-5) != 'b.jpg') { $img_path="http://ve-creative.com/test/8/$imageL"; // display the item echo '<td><center><p><a href="'.$img_path .'"><img src= "'.$path.$item[$n] .'" height="100" width="100"></a></p></center>'; echo '<center><p><input type="hidden" name="picT[]" value="pic'.$pn++.'"/></p></center>'; echo '<center><p><input type="hidden" name="photoT" value="PHOTO '.$pto++.'"/></p></center>'; echo '<center><p><input type="text" name="captionT" value=""/></p></center>'; echo "<center><p><a href=imgEdit.php?img=$img_path> > Edit Image < </a></p></center><br></td>"; } } if($r>0) { for($m=$r; $m<5; $m++) { echo "<td> </td>"; } } ?> 4. Users enter the caption they'd like for each image and click submit/save....each image sent has a picT, photoT and captionT attached to it.....the values are sent to another php that generates a xml file from the values. 5. once generated the xml file is saved and the user is redirected back to the original page. Right now my problem is i can only get picT to show on the xml as needed i.e. pic1, pic2, pic3.....photoT needs to show as PHOTO 1, PHOTO 2, PHOTO 3 etc i can get them all to show seperately using the foreach loop but cant get them to show in the same document......these are the results i get.... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <gallery> <pic1 name="PHOTO 3" caption="test03"/> <pic2 name="PHOTO 3" caption="test03"/> <pic3 name="PHOTO 3" caption="test03"/> </gallery> If i add photoT and captionT as an array in the code it basically says a string is needed not an array. So somehow i need to include them in the foreach loop hence my question......can i use 3 different arrays on one loop?

this is generated in php echo '<td><center><p><a href="'.$img_path .'"><img src= "'.$path.$item[$n] .'" height="100" width="100"></a></p></center>'; echo '<center><p><input type="hidden" name="picT[]" value="pic'.$pn++.'"/></p></center>'; echo '<center><p><input type="hidden" name="photoT[]" value="PHOTO '.$pto++.'"/></p></center>'; echo '<center><p><input type="text" name="captionT[]" value=""/></p></center>'; echo "<center><p><a href=imgEdit.php?img=$img_path> > Edit Image < </a></p></center><br></td>"; picT is hidden as shown above with a value.....it makes it easier when generating the xml with simpleXML

could you point me in the right direction please? this is my original code below, the problem with this is it doesn't bring all values sent from the form for thephoto name and caption only for the line name (picT). I have to have all three as an array so it finds all the values for my variable to output to xml My code // Loop through the POST items foreach ( $_POST['picT'] as $key => $picStart) { $photoName = $_POST['photoT']; $picCaption = $_POST['captionT']; $nameCapsA = $xmlobj->addChild($picStart); $nameCapsA->addAttribute("name", $photoName); $nameCapsA->addAttribute("caption", $picCaption); } The result <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <gallery><pic1 name="PHOTO 3" caption="test03"/><pic2 name="PHOTO 3" caption="test03"/><pic3 name="PHOTO 3" caption="test03"/></gallery>

can anyone help ???

???

is it possible to have more than 1 array on a foreach loop? e.g. // Loop through the POST items foreach ( $_POST['picT'] as $key => $picStart) { foreach ( $_POST['photoT'] as $var => $photoName) { foreach ( $_POST['captionT'] as $var => $picCaption) { $nameCapsA = $xmlobj->addChild($picStart); $nameCapsA->addAttribute("name", $photoName); $nameCapsA->addAttribute("caption", $picCaption); } } }

i got a result from testing the code.....it generates the xml but splits everything up.....instead of being: <gallery> "X amount of lines for xml content" </gallery> it displays it lyk <gallery>"xml content"</gallery> <gallery>"xml content"</gallery> <gallery>"xml content"</gallery> <gallery>"xml content"</gallery> <gallery>"xml content"</gallery>

this is my final code....can't work out why it's not generating the xml <?php $random_digit = $_POST['random_digit']; error_reporting(E_ALL); $xmlFiles = array(); function createXML($caption) { global $xmlObjects; $picT = $_POST['picT']; $photoT = $_POST['photoT']; $xmltext = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<gallery></gallery>"; $xmlobj = simplexml_load_string($xmltext); $nameCapsA = $xmlobj->addChild($picT); $nameCapsA->addAttribute("name", $photoT); $nameCapsA->addAttribute("caption", $caption); $xmlFiles[] = $xmlobj->asXML(); } if(isset($_POST['create_xml'])) { if (is_array($_POST['captionT'])) { foreach ($_POST['captionT'] as $caption) { createXML($caption); } } else { createXML($_POST['captionT']); } } echo header("Content-type: text/plain"); //Echo data from each file. foreach ($xmlFiles as $xmlFile) { echo $xmlFiles . "<br /><br />\n"; $path_dir = "xmlf/"; $path_dir .= $random_digit .".xml"; $fp = fopen($path_dir,'w'); $write = fwrite($fp,$xmlFile); } ?>

ive tested it over the past couple of hours and it just runs out a blank page....doesn't generate anything

i am not trying to open multiple files......i have a form that people enter captions for pictures they have uploaded, when they click on submit it runs this script to create a xml file. I've tested the script and it works for just 1 xml line which is:- $nameCapsA = $xmlobj->addChild("$picT"); $nameCapsA->addAttribute("name", "$photoT"); $nameCapsA->addAttribute("caption", "$captionT"); I know it can be looped because as i was testing it kept looping but brought back errors, I just don't know the best way to get it to loop.

Hi, I have created this code to get data from a html form into php and then generate an xml file. I am having a problem looping....I need it to loop so that if there is more than one caption that has been submitted then a new line of xml will start with the corresponding data. Each loop i have tried has given me an error saying the header has already been sent. Here is my code......thanks in advance <?php if(isset($_POST['create_xml'])){ $picT = $_POST['picT']; $photoT = $_POST['photoT']; $captionT = $_POST['captionT']; $xmltext = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<gallery></gallery>"; $xmlobj = simplexml_load_string($xmltext); $nameCapsA = $xmlobj->addChild("$picT"); $nameCapsA->addAttribute("name", "$photoT"); $nameCapsA->addAttribute("caption", "$captionT"); // set output filename $filename= "test1.xml"; print header("Content-type: text/plain") . $xmlobj->asXML(); } ?>

i figured out how to generate xml from a form using php. here is the code <?php if(isset($_POST['create_xml'])){ $picT = $_POST['picT']; $photoT = $_POST['photoT']; $captionT = $_POST['captionT']; $randT = $_POST['randT']; $xmltext = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<gallery></gallery>"; $xmlobj = simplexml_load_string($xmltext); $nameCapsA = $xmlobj->addChild("$picT"); $nameCapsA->addAttribute("name", "$photoT"); $nameCapsA->addAttribute("caption", "$captionT"); $path_dir = "xmlf/"; $path_dir .= $randT .".xml"; /* Data in Variables ready to be written to an XML file */ $fp = fopen($path_dir,'w'); $write = fwrite($fp,$xml_document); print header("Content-type: text/plain") . $xmlobj->asXML(); } ?>

how can i generate xml using data from a form? I've got my code that generates the xml, but i haven't got a clue how to get a form to submit so the childs in the xml are filled in automatically using the data collected from a form. I've that i have to put the child in a loop but i don't know where to start.....can someone point me in the right direction? thanks here is my code # <?php # # $xmltext = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<gallery></gallery>"; # $xmlobj = simplexml_load_string($xmltext); # # $i=1; # # $nameCaps = $xmlobj->addChild("pic"); # $nameCaps->addAttribute("name", "PHOTO 1"); # $nameCaps->addAttribute("caption", "This is the space where you can put in your own customised caption for each image."); # # print header("Content-type: text/plain") . $xmlobj->asXML(); # # ?>

Hi, I have this php code that creates a xml file(#1)....is is possible to get it to generate a xml like the 1 below(#2)?

Thanks Keith......it works perfectly
