SimpleXML trouble...

MikeDXUNL · June 11, 2009

Hello,

What I am aiming to do, is display an XML file inside a <textarea> using the SimpleXML class.

Here's what I have so far, but it isn't giving me anything what I'd like it to:

<?php
  

$filename = 'data/brands_bafferts.xml';



// The file test.xml contains an XML document with a root element
// and at least an element /[root]/title.

if (file_exists($filename)) {
    $xml = simplexml_load_file($filename, 'SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA);

} else {
    exit('Failed to open test.xml.');
}

echo '<br /><br /><br />';


foreach($xml->children() as $stuff) {
echo '<'.$stuff->getName().'> <br />';
echo $stuff.' <br />';

foreach($stuff->children() as $bodies) {
	echo '< BODY '.$bodies->getName().'> <br />';
					echo $bodies.' <br />';

						if($bodies->getName() != $stuff->getName()) {
						echo '</'.$stuff->getName().'> <br />';
						}
		foreach($bodies->children() as $copies) {
			echo '<'.$copies->getName().'> <br />';
			echo $copies.' <br />';
										if($copies->getName() != $bodies->getName()) {
						echo '</'.$bodies->getName().'> <br />';
						}
			}
	 }
}




?>

Help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I don't quite understand what you are trying to accomplish. What does the XML file look like and what should the end result look like?

<overview>

<body>
Bafferts is the result of four generations of knowledge and refinement by one of the world's foremost gin distillers, the Hayman family, who have been distilling quality gin in the heart of London for over 200 years.

The Bafferts recipe has been handed down through the Hayman family since the 1800s. To achieve its refreshing taste we infuse a special blend of botanicals that include orange peel, lemon peel, coriander, and a hint of juniper that compliment each other. The result is a lighter style of gin that is perfect for those who crave a crisp pure taste in a classic martini or gin and tonic.

That's what the XML looks like...

I just want that displayed in a textarea. Seperated by Nodes.
