Maq Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 What exactly is the problem? Do you have any code? Example #4 shows you how to loop through: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/simplexml.examples-basic.php For the name you need the attribute: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/simplexmlelement.attributes.php Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/247737-help-with-xml-parser/#findComment-1272146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
petschephp Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Here is the code. It works, but I just can't figure out how to get the features to display. // load SimpleXML $cars = new SimpleXMLElement('inventory.xml', null, true); echo <<<EOF <table> <tr> <th>ID</th> <th>Stock Number</th> <th>InventoryDate</th> <th>CreatedDate</th> <th>VIN</th> <th>TYPE</th> <td>Features</td> </tr> EOF; foreach($cars as $car) // loop through our cars { echo <<<EOF <tr> <td>{$car->ID}</td> <td>{$car->StockNum}</td> <td>{$car->InventoryDate}</td> <td>{$car->CreatedDate}</td> <td>{$car->VIN}</td> <td>{$car->TYPE}</td> <td></td> </tr> EOF; } echo '</table>'; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/247737-help-with-xml-parser/#findComment-1272152 Share on other sites More sharing options...
