[SOLVED] XML parsing

[lindm]

Just new to XML parsing but can't seem to get my xml file to work. Please see code below. Two questions:

 

1. Is the colon a problem?

2. How can I print only the tag where contextRef="DURcy"

<?php

$string='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xbrli:xbrl>
<se-gen-base:Inledning contextRef="DURcy">10000</se-gen-base:Inledning>
<se-gen-base:Inledning contextRef="DURpy">20000</se-gen-base:Inledning>

</xbrli:xbrl>
'

;



$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);

print header("Content-type: text/plain");
print_r($xml->xpath("/xbrli:xbrl/se-gen-base:Inledning"));



?>

You would probably benefit from reading up on working with strings in php:  here is the manual

Now I am really close:

 

$string=<<<XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xbrli
xmlns:se-gen-base="xxxxx"
>
<se-gen-base:Inledning contextRef="DURcy">10000</se-gen-base:Inledning>
<se-gen-base:Inledning contextRef="DURpy">20000</se-gen-base:Inledning>

</xbrli>

XML;



$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);

foreach ($xml->children('xxxxx')->Inledning as $test) { 
      if ((string)$test['contextRef'] == 'DURcy') echo $test; 
  } 

 

Why doesn't this return 10000?

This seems to work

 

$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);

 

foreach ($xml->children('xxxxx')->Inledning as $test) {

      if ((string)$test->attributes()->contextRef == 'DURpy') echo $test;

  }
