Simplexml Problem

[selenin]

Hi I want to check if an user is online, if the user is online the object is set otherwise it doesn't exist. I tried it like that but it doesn't work at all.

 

$cams = new SimpleXMLElement('http://chaturbate.com/affiliates/api/onlinerooms/?format=xml&wm=N6TZA', null, true);
if (isset($cams->username['chantal'])){
echo "online";
}

You need to use XPath

 

$cams = new SimpleXMLElement('http://chaturbate.com/affiliates/api/onlinerooms/?format=xml&wm=N6TZA', null, true);
foreach ($cams->xpath('//username') as $username) {
 echo $username, '<br>', PHP_EOL;
}

Don't understand this xpath that's what I wrote

 

$cams = new SimpleXMLElement('http://chaturbate.com/affiliates/api/onlinerooms/?format=xml&wm=N6TZA', null, true);
foreach ($cams->xpath('chantal') as $username) {
if ($username == ""){
 echo "not online";
}else{
echo "online";
}
}

Unfortunately it worked for me too. What kind of site has users with names like "fatcock0001"?

[selenin]

lol yes it's adult cam site and I have to write an affiliate code

 

Why are you getting it and I don't, I'm really a null

<?php
$cams = new SimpleXMLElement('http://chaturbate.com/affiliates/api/onlinerooms/?format=xml&wm=N6TZA', null, true);
$online = false;
foreach ($cams->xpath('//username') as $username) {
if ($username == "chantal"){
 echo " $username online<br />";
 $online = true;
}
}
if (!$online) echo "Not online";
?>

Thank you but is not working on my server, I think I'll give it up because the answer of the xml file is so terrible slow

During development you obviously work on a cached version..

 

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('chat_cache.xml', null, true);

 

You can download the XML through your browser or using cURL:

 

curl http://chaturbate.com/affiliates/api/onlinerooms/?format=xml&wm=N6TZA > chat_cache.xml
