Need help ignoring certain items acquired from a foreach loop

[Xdega]

Basically I have the following code (posted below)

foreach($char_xml->characterInfo->characterTab->items->item as $item)
   {
        //get the item id
       $item_id = $item->attributes()->id;
        //get the xml doc for that item from wow armory
        $url = "http://www.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=" . $item_id;
        $data = fetchXML($url);
        //create a SimpleXML object to parse the xml
        $item_xml = new SimpleXmlElement($data);
        //print the item's name
        echo "<li type=square>" . $item_xml->itemInfo->item->attributes()->name . " ";
	echo "<b>(" . $item_xml->itemInfo->item->attributes()->level . ")</b></br>";

//calculate gear score total
$calc=$calc+$item_xml->itemInfo->item->attributes()->level;
    }
echo '</ul>';
//print the total item level
echo '<b>Total Additive Item Score (Equipped):</b>' . $calc;
echo '<br>';
//calculate the average item level(equipped)  
$ilvl=$calc/16;
echo '<b>Average Item Score (Equipped):</b>' . round($ilvl) . "<br><br>";

 

It is working relatively well for what I am trying to accomplish. It pulls xml data from wowarmory and uses it to calculate a player's "average item level". The problem I am running in to is if a player is equipped with certain items (that should not be calculated), the average is incorrect.

 

I know atleast the shirt, tabard and off-hand need to be ignored IF equipped. I am trying to find something relative to all 3 items in the xml data and thus tell the script to disregard them. Here is a printed example of the array I am working with (warning its LONG). This is an example of a player that has these 3 extra items. Shirt (Block 4), off-hand(shield) (Block 17), and Tabard (Block19) :

I guess the shirt and tabard can be identified by the "[Quality]=>1" which no other items should typically have. The big issue comes with the third odd ball (off hand). This off-hand could be a shield or any weapon with few exceptions depending on the player class. As I continue to try and figure this out, one solution could be to first take the previous two "[Quality]=>1" items out of the equation IF they exist, then ONLY IF there are 17 items remaining subtract the value of block/iteration 17 before calulating as usual. If 16 items, then just run $calc is it currently is.

 

How would I accomplish this?

 

I do not mind displaying the item's name, in fact I would prefer to keep the item list as it currently I just need to not include the said items in the item level average. 

I know this is probably relatively straight forward to accomplish and that I am a noob, but would be grateful of your assistance.

 

Thanks.

Ok, that's pretty confusing.  This suggestion may be a little loose but could you check to see if the @icon attribute does NOT match anychar_tabard_anychar via XPath and regex, like this?

 

foreach($char_xml->characterInfo->characterTab->items->item[not(matches(@icon,'*tabard*'))] as $item)

[Xdega]

I guess to summarize and maybe this is a little clearer (paraphrased from the final paragraph of my original post)

 

I am trying to remove any item that has the corresponding array key of "[Quality]=>1" ($char_xml->characterInfo->characterTab->items->Quality)

if there are 17-19 passes of the foreach loop.

 

then IF there are still 17 passes of the foreach loop, subtract the ($item_xml->itemInfo->item->attributes()->level) on the 17th iteration of the loop.

 

IF there are 16 passes of the foreach loop then assume that the $calc is ready to be used by the $ilvl to divide it by 16 and provide my average.

 

may have explained it better? I dunno. 

I am just not sure what to use or how to accomplish the above conditions. Assuming a bunch of if else statements in the loop somewhere? but that's as far as I can get.

 

thanks

Ok. While at work today, I continued to ponder this and think I nailed it (well kinda).

Well I managed to get the script to ignore the "Tabard" and the "Shirt" as my xml array had a "Quality=1" attribute, I was able to identify these unwanted items.

The downside is that the odd-ball off-hand slot is going to continue to stump me. There should be some new xml feeds published soon that may/may not address my issue but none the less this has been a fun play around and learning experience for a complete novice like myself. 

 

I figured I would post here and share my working code for anyone that may have similar issues in the future.

 

It was as simple as an if else statement to check if the item's quality was 1 (then minus the item level if found true).

I also cleaned up my comments a little.

//Set initial value for $calc  and $i ($idef)
$idef=0;
$calc=0;
foreach($char_xml->characterInfo->characterTab->items->item as $item)
   {
        //Get the item id
        $item_id = $item->attributes()->id;
        //Get the xml doc for that item from wow armory
        $url = "http://www.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=" . $item_id;
        $data = fetchXML($url);
        //Create a SimpleXML object to parse the xml
        $item_xml = new SimpleXmlElement($data);
        //Print the item's name and item level.
        echo "<li type=square>" . $item_xml->itemInfo->item->attributes()->name . " ";
	echo "<b>(" . $item_xml->itemInfo->item->attributes()->level . ")</b></br>";
	//Track the  number of loops.
	$i=$idef++;
	//Get item level and quality, then save as a string var. 
	$level=$item_xml->itemInfo->item->attributes()->level;
	$qlty=$item_xml->itemInfo->item->attributes()->quality;

	//Print the item Quality
	echo "<li>Quality:" . $qlty;

	//Verify that ONLY valid items are being calculated (no TABARD, SHIRT or OFF-HAND)
	if ($qlty==1) $calc-$level;
	else
	// Calculate TOTAL item level
	$calc=$calc+$level;

    }
echo '</ul>';
//Echo the amount of loops that were ran. 
echo "<br>". ($i+1) . " Items Equipped<br><br>";
//Print the TOTAL item level.
echo '<b>Total Additive Item Score (Equipped):</b>' . $calc;
echo '<br>';
//Calculate and print the AVERAGE item level(equipped) and round it. 
$ilvl=$calc/16;
echo '<b>Average Item Score (Equipped):</b>' . round($ilvl) . "<br><br>";

 

thanks

 

PS: I did make a var to count the loop number for further manipulation to fix the "off hand" issue. Sadly I don't think this will work unless I can find a way to make sure that I am indeed subtracting the correct item level. Given that the XML feed appears to have nothing clarifying what slot an item belongs in, this is somewhat impossible.
