[SOLVED] XML wont return more than one string

[darkfreaks]

i have a functiuon that returns XML tags, but the problem is it only returns countrycode and not City. is there something i am doing wrong?

 

<?php
if ( $format == 'xml' ) {
             $xmlObj = simplexml_load_string($response);
             return $xmlObj->CountryCode;
		 return $xmlObj->City;
        } ?>

Are you returning two strings from the same function?

[darkfreaks]

yes i am trying to attempt to return City and CountryCode however it only returns Countrycode

[darkfreaks]

appearantly i cant use return on more than one string or the second return, returns false :-\

[jxrd]

When a function returns something it stops parsing.

 

You'll need to do it like

return array($xmlObj->CountryCode, $xmlObj->City);

[darkfreaks]

ok i dont thing arraying it is going to work now it is not returning the country correctly :-\

[jxrd]

What's it returning?

[darkfreaks]

nothing it just returns ARRAY

[darkfreaks]

anyone got any ideas on how to return more than one XML string using arrays or loops ???

[jxrd]

Yeah, well obv it'll return an array if you put it in an array

 

You have to treat it like an array. It will contain the two variables.

 

So...

$something = yourfunction();
echo $something[0];
echo $something[1];

here is the function i wouldnt know where to start to look

 

<?php
    function get_ip_location($ip, $format="xml") {

        /* Set allowed output formats */
        $formats_allowed = array("json", "xml", "raw");

        /* IP location query url */
        $query_url = "http://iplocationtools.com/ip_query.php?ip=";

        /* Male sure that the format is one of json, xml, raw.
           Or else default to xml */
        if(!in_array($format, $formats_allowed)) {
            $format = "xml";
        }

        $query_url = $query_url . "{$ip}&output={$format}";

        /* Init CURL and its options*/
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $query_url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 15);

        /* Execute CURL and get the response */
        //return curl_exec($ch);

        $response = curl_exec($ch);

   if ( $format == 'xml' ) {
             $xmlObj = simplexml_load_string($response);
           return array( $xmlObj->City, $xmlObj->CountryCode);
	} 


    }
    ?>

[jxrd]

Ok, so try this:

$ip = get_ip_location('127.0.0.1');
print_r($ip);

[darkfreaks]

yeah i just get ARRAY it doesnt return anything ???

[darkfreaks]

anyone ???

[Michdd]

Did you try accessing an element of the array?:

 

$ip = get_ip_location('127.0.0.1');
print_r($ip[0]);

nevermind i got it
