for loop question

[Jdsflash]

I want to loop through the first 5 records in my xml. How would I format this correctly. Its nto displaying any of my xml.

 

<?php 
$Gadgets = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents('http://www.flashmajic.com/gadgets.xml')); 

//foreach ($Gadgets->Site as $Site) 
for($x=0;$x<6;$x++)
{ 
	echo '<tr>';
    echo '<td valign="top">';

    echo '<h5>'.$Site[$x]->Title.'</h5>'; 
    echo '<h6><img src="'.$Site[$x]->Image.'"/></h6>'; 

echo '</td>';

   	echo '<td valign="top">';

    echo '<h5>'.$Site[$x]->Title.'</h5>'; 
    echo '<h6>'.$Site[$x]->description.'</h6>'; 
echo '<h6><a href="'.$Site[$x]->links.'">Add Module To Your Google Page.</h6></a>';

echo '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
} 
?>

$Site should be $Gadgets->Site

THanks for you help. So my code should be like this? This still does not work right. I probally over looked some thing. Thanks for your help.

 

<?php 
$Gadgets = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents('http://www.flashmajic.com/gadgets.xml')); 

//foreach ($Gadgets->Site as $Site) 
for($x=0;$x<6;$x++)
{ 
	echo '<tr>';
    echo '<td valign="top">';

    echo '<h5>'.$Gadgets->$Site[$x]->Title.'</h5>'; 
    echo '<h6><img src="'.$Gadgets->$Site[$x]->Image.'"/></h6>'; 

echo '</td>';

   	echo '<td valign="top">';

    echo '<h5>'.$Gadgets->$Site[$x]->Title.'</h5>'; 
    echo '<h6>'.$Gadgets->$Site[$x]->description.'</h6>'; 
echo '<h6><a href="'.$Gadgets->$Site[$x]->links.'">Add Module To Your Google Page.</h6></a>';

echo '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
} 
?>

 

My xml page

<Gadgets>
<Site>
<Title>Soccer</Title>
<Image>screen.jpg</Image>
<description> pictures</description>
<links></links>
</Site>

<Site>
<Title>Soccer</Title>
<Image>screen.jpg</Image>
<description> pictures</description>
<links></links>
</Site>
</Gadgets>

$Gadgets->$Site[$x]->XXX

 

Wherever you see occurrences like that, it should be

$Gadgets->Site[$x]

The method you were using previously is using what are called variable variables, which is probably not what you want

So remove the last part. "->node title" Doesn't that last part rerfer to the xml node im refrencing? If i remove it how will it know what node to display? The code below still does not work.

Did i do it like you intended?

 

<?php 
$Gadgets = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents('http://www.flashmajic.com/gadgets.xml')); 


for($x=0;$x<6;$x++)
{ 
	echo '<tr>';
    echo '<td valign="top">';

    echo '<h5>'.$Gadgets->$Site[$x].'</h5>'; 
    echo '<h6><img src="'.$Gadgets->$Site[$x].'"/></h6>'; 

echo '</td>';

   	echo '<td valign="top">';

    echo '<h5>'.$Gadgets->$Site[$x].'</h5>'; 
    echo '<h6>'.$Gadgets->$Site[$x].'</h6>'; 
echo '<h6><a href="'.$Gadgets->$Site[$x].'">Add Module To Your Google Page.</h6></a>';

echo '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
} 
?>

 

xml structure

 

<Gadgets>
<Site>
<Title>Soccer</Title>
<Image>screen.jpg</Image>
<description> pictures</description>
<links></links>
</Site>

<Site>
<Title>Soccer</Title>
<Image>screen.jpg</Image>
<description> pictures</description>
<links></links>
</Site>
</Gadgets>

your code should be...

 

<?php 
$Gadgets = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents('http://www.flashmajic.com/gadgets.xml')); 

//foreach ($Gadgets->Site as $Site) 
for($x=0;$x<6;$x++)
{ 
    echo '<tr>';
    echo '<td valign="top">';
   
    echo '<h5>'.$Gadgets->Site[$x]->Title.'</h5>'; 
    echo '<h6><img src="'.$Gadgets->Site[$x]->Image.'"/></h6>'; 
   
   echo '</td>';

      echo '<td valign="top">';
   
    echo '<h5>'.$Gadgets->Site[$x]->Title.'</h5>'; 
    echo '<h6>'.$Gadgets->Site[$x]->description.'</h6>'; 
   echo '<h6><a href="'.$Gadgets->Site[$x]->links.'">Add Module To Your Google Page.</h6></a>';
   
   echo '</td>';
   echo '</tr>';
} 
?>

Thats perfect. It makes sence to me too because the Site is not a variable its the node.
