Hi all,

 

I need your help. I want to get access on each PHP link for each array to get the list of programme title to output them in the XML source.

 

Here's for e.g:

 


 

 

I want to access to get-listing.php and I want to get the cbs link to access and get the list of programming info:

 

 

   <span id="time1">12:00 PM </span> - <span id="title1">2014 NCAA Basketball Tournament"Dayton vs. Ohio State - LIVE</span><br><br>

    <span id="time2">2:30 PM </span> - <span id="title2">2014 NCAA Basketball Tournament"Western Michigan vs. Syracuse - LIVE</span><br><br>

    <span id="time3">5:00 PM </span> - <span id="title3">Local Programming</span><br><br>

    <span id="time4">6:00 PM </span> - <span id="title4">Local Programming</span><br><br>

    <span id="time5">7:00 PM </span> - <span id="title5">2014 NCAA Basketball Tournament"Wofford vs. Michigan - LIVE</span><br><br>

    <span id="time6">9:30 PM</span> - <span id="title6">2014 NCAA Basketball Tournament"Arizona State vs. Texas - LIVE</span><br><br>

    <span id="time7">12:00 AM </span> - <span id="title7"> 1 Local Programming</span><br><br>

    <span id="time8">12:35 AM </span> - <span id="title8">Late Show With David LettermanTV-PG  </span><br><br>

    <span id="time9">1:37 AM </span> - <span id=title9>The Late Late Show With Craig FergusonTV-14  </span><br><br>

 

 


 

 

 

 

<?php

            }
            if($last_channel != null)
            {
                // close out the previous channel if any
                $xml .= '
    </channel>';
            }
         }
    
       }
       $xml .= '
    </tv>';
       // output the xml to the browser in this example, write $xml to a file here...
       header("Content-Type: text/xml");
       echo $xml;
       $handle = fopen("myChannel.xml", "w"); 
       fwrite ($handle, $xml);
     }
    ?>


 

 

 

The same things that it goes for each array in the get-listing.php. 

 

Can you please tell me how I can get the list of strings from each PHP tag `<span id="title1">`, `<span id="title2">` `<span id="title3">` and so on to output for each strings in each xml tag called `<title lang="en">` for each programme using my php source?

 

Thanks in advance

@objnoob: I don't need two PHP extensions, it is already been built there. ......YOU DID NOT READ MY POST CAREFULLY...

 

What I said in my first post that I want to get the list of links for each array in get-listing.php like this:

 
..and so on
 
 
I want to connect on each link in my PHP for each array to get the list of programme info to output them in the XML source.
 
Here's for e.g:
 
 
I want to connect on get-listing.php to get the list of links on each array and I want to connect on each link in the get-listing.php to get the programme info.
 
 
CBS programme info:
 
<span id="time1">12:00 PM </span> - <span id="title1">2014 NCAA Basketball Tournament"Dayton vs. Ohio State - LIVE</span><br><br>
<span id="time2">2:30 PM </span> - <span id="title2">2014 NCAA Basketball Tournament"Western Michigan vs. Syracuse - LIVE</span><br><br>
<span id="time3">5:00 PM </span> - <span id="title3">Local Programming</span><br><br>
<span id="time4">6:00 PM </span> - <span id="title4">Local Programming</span><br><br>
<span id="time5">7:00 PM </span> - <span id="title5">2014 NCAA Basketball Tournament"Wofford vs. Michigan - LIVE</span><br><br>
<span id="time6">9:30 PM</span> - <span id="title6">2014 NCAA Basketball Tournament"Arizona State vs. Texas - LIVE</span><br><br>
<span id="time7">12:00 AM </span> - <span id="title7"> 1 Local Programming</span><br><br>
<span id="time8">12:35 AM </span> - <span id="title8">Late Show With David LettermanTV-PG  </span><br><br>
<span id="time9">1:37 AM </span> - <span id=title9>The Late Late Show With Craig FergusonTV-14  </span><br><br>
 
 
CNN programme info:
 
<span id="time1">1:00 PM </span> - <span id="title1">Wolf</span><br><br>
<span id="time2">2:00 PM </span> - <span id="title2">CNN Newsroom</span><br><br>
<span id="time3">4:00 PM </span> - <span id="title3">The Lead With Jake Tapper</span><br><br>
<span id="time4">5:00 PM </span> - <span id="title4">The Situation Room</span><br><br>
<span id="time5">6:30 PM </span> - <span id="title5">Crossfire</span><br><br>
<span id="time6">7:00 PM </span> - <span id="title6">Erin Burnett OutFront</span><br><br>
<span id="time7">8:00 PM </span> - <span id="title7">Anderson Cooper 360</span><br><br>
<span id="time8">9:00 PM </span> - <span id="title8">Piers Morgan Live</span><br><br>
<span id="time9">10:00 PM </span> - <span id="title9">CNN Spotlight</span><br><br>
 
 
I want to get the list of programme info from each tag of <span id="title1, <span id="title2, <span id="title3...etc to allow me to generating for each xml tag <programme channel="CHANNEL NAME" start="s1" stop="e1">, <programme channel="CHANNEL NAME" start="s2" stop="e2"> with each different start and end times then output the programe title in each xml tag called <title lang="en">.
 
The output for the XML would be looks like this:
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<tv generator-info-name="www.testbox.elementfx.com/xmltv">
<channel id="CBS">
   <display-name>CBS</display-name>
   <programme channel="CBS" start="s1" stop="e1">
       <title lang="en">2014 NCAA Basketball Tournament"Dayton vs. Ohio State - LIVE</title>
       <sub-title lang="en">sub title</sub-title>
       <desc lang="en">program description1</desc>
       <category lang="en">some category</category>
   </programme>
   <programme channel="CBS" start="s2" stop="e2">
       <title lang="en">2014 NCAA Basketball Tournament"Western Michigan vs. Syracuse - LIVE</title>
       <sub-title lang="en">sub title</sub-title>
       <desc lang="en">program description1</desc>
       <category lang="en">some category</category>
   </programme>
   <programme channel="CBS" start="s3" stop="e3">
       <title lang="en">Local Programming</title>
       <sub-title lang="en">sub title</sub-title>
       <desc lang="en">program description1</desc>
       <category lang="en">some category</category>
   </programme>
   <programme channel="CBS" start="s4" stop="e4">
       <title lang="en">Local Programming</title>
       <sub-title lang="en">sub title</sub-title>
       <desc lang="en">program description1</desc>
       <category lang="en">some category</category>
   </programme>
</channel> 
 
<channel id="CNN USA">
   <display-name>CNN USA</display-name>
   <programme channel="CNN USA" start="s1" stop="e1">
       <title lang="en">Wolf</title>
       <sub-title lang="en">sub title</sub-title>
       <desc lang="en">program description1</desc>
       <category lang="en">some category</category>
   </programme>
   <programme channel="CNN USA" start="s2" stop="e2">
       <title lang="en">CNN Newsroom</title>
       <sub-title lang="en">sub title</sub-title>
       <desc lang="en">program description1</desc>
       <category lang="en">some category</category>
   </programme>
   <programme channel="CNN USA" start="s3" stop="e3">
       <title lang="en">The Lead With Jake Tapper</title>
       <sub-title lang="en">sub title</sub-title>
       <desc lang="en">program description1</desc>
       <category lang="en">some category</category>
   </programme>
   <programme channel="CNN USA" start="s4" stop="e4">
       <title lang="en">The Situation Room</title>
       <sub-title lang="en">sub title</sub-title>
       <desc lang="en">program description1</desc>
       <category lang="en">some category</category>
   </programme>
</channel> 
</tv>

Great, I'm glad to hear that you got what I mean.

 

Can you tell me how I can use the file_get_contents to open the url in get-listing.php to get the url in each array to retrieve the data and output it using with "$xml .= "<programme channel=\"{$arr['channel_id']}\" start=\"{$arr['start']}\" stop=\"{$arr['stop']}\">";?
