Generate XML list

[mikey3521]

Hey Everyone, I have a directory with a few photos in it.

Image1_img

Image2_img

etc. I have a php script that generates thumbnails for these to match so

Image1_tmb

Image2_tmb ...

 

now what I need is a script to generate an xml file which will look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<content>
  <gallery>
    <image Thumb="image1_tmb" Large="image1_img"></image>
    <image Thumb="image2_tmb" Large="image2_img"></image>
    <image Thumb="image3_tmb" Large="image3_img"></image>
</gallery>
</content>

 

any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! = )

Probably using DOMDocument ( http://us3.php.net/manual/en/class.domdocument.php ) or simpleXML ( http://us2.php.net/simplexml ). Haven't used simplexml so can't help with it. But using DOMDocument you could do something like this.. not sure tho if you can anyhow give the standalone parameter for the xml tag.

<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
$doc->formatOutput = true;

$content = $doc->createElement('content');
$doc->appendChild($content);

$gallery = $doc->createElement('gallery');

$img1 = $doc->createElement('image');
$img1->setAttribute('Thumb', 'image1_tmb');
$img1->setAttribute('Large', 'image1_img');
$gallery->appendChild($img1);

$img2 = $doc->createElement('image');
$img2->setAttribute('Thumb', 'image2_tmb');
$img2->setAttribute('Large', 'image2_img');
$gallery->appendChild($img2);

$img3 = $doc->createElement('image');
$img3->setAttribute('Thumb', 'image3_tmb');
$img3->setAttribute('Large', 'image3_img');
$gallery->appendChild($img3);

$content->appendChild($gallery);
echo $doc->save('test.xml');

 

Of course you should modify this code to work more dynamically like adding the images in loop etc. but this is just a simple example.
