just need help on converting some code from php5 to php4

[farban]

just wondering what is it i need to do to convert this line of code to php 4

 

 

  $title= $titles->item(0)->nodeValue;
  

[Cosizzle]

that looks like its using a class. Classes are 'more' introduced in php5. So im thinking the class will have to be re-written.

sorry i just wasnt sure if this was different enough to warrent a new thread

Sorry, but why would you downgrade to a discontinued version that had its end of life announcement almost two years ago?

I agree with Daniel, PFMaBiSmAd, Ken2k7, and probably the majority on phpfreaks... you should upgrade, not downgrade.

If its not your server, change hosts because its not worth it to sit on an old box friend.

Any ways, the one line of code you provided isn't much for us to work off of... does it not work? what does it do when you run it? do you get errors? if so, what are they?

i cant change hosts or upgrade the server as its for a client and uni project so i cant really tell the client to upgrade im afraid

 

here is the code

 

<?php
$doc = domxml_open_mem();
$doc = domxml_open_file("Playlist.xml");


$musiclist = $doc->get_elements_by_tagname( "mp3" );
foreach( $musiclist as $song )
{
  $artists = $song->get_elements_by_tagname( "artist" );
  $artist=htmlentities(utf8_decode($artist->nodeValue));

  
  $titles= $song->get_elements_by_tagname( "title" );
  $title= $titles->nodeValue;
  
  $urls = $song->get_elements_by_tagname( "url" );
  $url = $urls->nodeValue;
  
  echo "<b>$artist - $title - $url\n</b><br>";
  }
?>

 

just really need some solution to this ...only need to make the title artist and url appear

[Brian W]

do you get an error message?

[farban]

Well for the echo it dosent print out the varibles

 

so it should echo  $artist - $title - $url

 

instead its echoing - -

 

so its not outputting the varibles

i cant change hosts or upgrade the server as its for a client and uni project so i cant really tell the client to upgrade im afraid

 

In my opinion you can. Any server admin/host that hasn't upgraded a long time is a joke. Tell your client to get a real host, and tell your university's IT department to get a real admin.

can i just say i know its off topic butwould it cost money for a client to upgrade php4 to php5
