I'm working on my php as I'm generating to make the xml output.
 
I need some help with my php as I want to add the single quotes in the <programme channel= tag to make it like this:
 
<programme channel='101 ABC FAMILY' start='20140504113000' stop='20140504131000'>

On mine the output show like this:

 

<programme channel="101 ABC FAMILY" start="20140504113000" stop="20140504131000">
 
The problem are lie in this line:
 
$xml .= "
      <programme channel='$my_id $channel' start='$stoptime' stop='$starttime'>";

 

Can you please tell me how i can make the output with the single quotes instead of using double quotes?

Because it is my script and it is my own work to use so it does bother me!!!

 

so how to add the single quote in the <programme channel= tag because on mine mine it will be showing without the quote like this:

<programme channel=ABC FAMILY></programme> 

here is the code:

$xml .= '<programme channel=' .$channel. '>';

The single quotes are not showing because you are using it as the string delimiter. If you want to print a literal single quote you'll need to escape it

$xml .= '<programme channel=\'' .$channel. '\'>';

//OR

$xml .= "<programme channel='" .$channel. "'>";

it still don't work for me, please see it here: http://67.23.248.61/~ytestbox/test_xml.php

 

here is the update code:

 

<?php
$my_id = '101';
$channel = 'ABC FAMILY';
$starttime = '2014-05-04';
$stoptime = '2014-05-05';


$xml .= '<programme channel=\'' .$channel. '\'>';


//$xml .= "<programme channel='".$channel."' start='".$starttime."'>";
//$xml .= "<programme channel='$my_id $channel' start='$starttime' stop='$stoptime'>";


$xml .= '</programme>';


header("Content-Type: text/xml");
echo $xml;
$handle = fopen("myChannel.xml", "w"); 
fwrite ($handle, $xml);
?>
