Flash/PHP/XML Help Needed Please

[Taek]

Hi, i am working on a flash gallery script that requires the use of XML, the following code is part of the XML that I would like to be done with PHP so that it's automated

 

<gallery title="Flash Gallery Title" thumbDir="./images/" imageDir="./images/" random="true">

<category name="Outdoors"> // foreach gallery as category
	<image>
		<date>03.30.09</date> // modified date or uploaded date
		<title>Testing B1</title> // file name
		<desc>Testing B1</desc> // can be empty or file name
		<thumb>bathrooms/Bath_vanity_1_thumb.jpg</thumb> // ./images/thumbdir/imagefile.ext
		<img>bathrooms/Bath_vanity_1_resize.jpg</img> // ./images/resizedir/imagefile.ext
	</image>
</category>

<category name="Show Rooms"> // foreach gallery as gategory
	<image>
		<date>03.30.09</date> // modified date (if possible)
		<title>Testing B1</title> // file name
		<desc>Testing B1</desc> // can be empty or file name
		<thumb>bathrooms/Bath_vanity_1_thumb.jpg</thumb> // ./images/resizedir/imagefile.ext
		<img>bathrooms/Bath_vanity_1_resize.jpg</img> // ./images/resizedir/imagefile.ext
	</image>
</category>

</gallery>

 

the closes thing i've found is a mp3 flash script

 

<?php

// setting the directory to search for mp3 files
$dir = "mp3/";



// reading the directory and inserting the mp3 files in the playlist array
$n = 0;
$playlist = array();
$fdir = opendir($dir);
while($i = readdir($fdir)) {
   // if a .mp3 string is found, add the file to the array
   if (strpos(strtolower($i),".mp3") !== false) {
  	   $playlist[$n] = $i;
  	   $n++;
  	} 
}
// close the directory and sort the array
closedir($fdir);
array_multisort($playlist);


// echoing the playlist to flash
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>";
echo "<player showDisplay=\"yes\" showPlaylist=\"yes\" autoStart=\"yes\">\n";
for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($playlist); $i++) {
   // for the title it filters the directory and the .mp3 extension out
   echo "  <song path=\"$dir$playlist[$i]\" title=\"".str_replace(".mp3","",$playlist[$i])."\" />\n";
}
echo "</player>";

 

Any help would be appreciated

 

Thanks in Advance.

I didn't create the script myself and I don't have access to the .fla file, hence the reason for the request for help

 

sorry should have stated this in the first post.

if you don't have access to the fla then realistically you are left with using the xml that it says you must use - php can create and manage that for you...

 

we can't write the script for you but if you look at simpleXML and spend a couple hours playing with it you WILL be able to do this yourself.
