Parsing XML

[jholder]

Hi All,

I'm attempting to parse some XML and am having some trouble It seems that I'm grabbing the elements correctly, but they don't seem to be assigning themselves. When I try to echo the value, there's nothing.

 

It's probably some novice error (i'm new to PHP), so any help would be greatly appreciated!

$fp = fopen("MY URL HERE", "r");
if ($fp)
{
	echo "Made the check!\n";
	while (!feof($fp)) $gamerfeed .= fgets($fp);

	if ($gamerfeed != '')
	{
		$dom = new DomDocument();
		$dom->recover=true;
		@$dom->loadXML($gamerfeed);
		$RecentGames = $dom->getElementsByTagName('ArrayOfGame')->item(0);
		$HasEvents = false;


		// Loop through each Game within RecentGames
		foreach($RecentGames->getElementsByTagName('Game') as $GameNode)
		{
			$HasEvents = true;
			// Get the Game Attributes from within RecentGames
			$Name      = $GameNode->getElementsByTagName('Title')->textContent;
                                echo($Name);
  

It doesn't echo the name!

 

Here's the XML I'm grabbing:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ArrayOfGame>
  <Game>
    <Id>NPWR00449_00</Id>
    <IdGameEurope>75</IdGameEurope>
    <Title>Uncharted: Drakes Fortune</Title>
  </Game>
</ArrayOfGame>

 

I'm still learning parsing, so sorry if it's obvious thanks!

Instead of creating a variable for your XML why not load it straight into the DomDocument?

$dom = new DomDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$dom->load('path/to/your/file.xml');
// Loop through each Game
foreach($dom->getElementsByTagName('Game') as $GameNode) {
$HasEvents = true;
// Get the Game Attributes from within RecentGames
$name = ($GameNode->getElementsByTagName('Title')->item(0)->nodeValue);
echo($name.'<br/>');
}

SimpleXML > DOMDocument, IMO

 

<?php 

$xml_string = '<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ArrayOfGame>
  <Game>
    <Id>NPWR00449_00</Id>
    <IdGameEurope>75</IdGameEurope>
    <Title>Uncharted: Drakes Fortune</Title>
  </Game>
</ArrayOfGame>';

// To get a file use
// $xml = new SimpleXMLElement( 'http://domain.com/path/to/xml.xml', 0, TRUE );
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement( $xml_string );

foreach( $xml as $game ) {

foreach( $game as $key => $value )
	echo $key . ' - ' . $value . '<br>';
echo '<br>';

}

?>
