xml parse

[ktsirig]

 

Hello all, I need to parse some xml documents. I use Simple:XML and it works ok up to the point of matching elements that occur just once in my documents. How can I process something like:

 

<PubmedArticle>
         <AuthorList CompleteYN="Y">
                <Author ValidYN="Y">
                    <LastName>Wilde</LastName>
                    <ForeName>A</ForeName>
                    <Initials>A</Initials>
                </Author>
                <Author ValidYN="Y">
                    <LastName>Reaves</LastName>
                    <ForeName>B</ForeName>
                    <Initials>B</Initials>
                </Author>
                <Author ValidYN="Y">
                    <LastName>Banting</LastName>
                    <ForeName>G</ForeName>
                    <Initials>G</Initials>
                </Author>
            </AuthorList>
         </Article>
</PubmedArticle>

 

and print all Authors' names?

Try this:

 

<?php
$xml = SimpleXML($data);

$authors = $xml->xpath('AuthorList/Author');
foreach($authors as $author) {
    echo "{$author->ForeName} {$author->LastName}\n";
}
?>
