Returning xml value question

cowboysdude · February 2, 2015

I'm trying to get this to either show "Final" or "Final Overtime" but it just continues to show "Final" even when the XML key value says Overtime...

What am I missing here?

Thank you!

$f = ($game['q']); {

if ($f == "1")

$f = "1st Quarter";

else if ($f == "2")

$f = "2nd Quarter";

else if ($f == "3")

$f = "3rd Quarter";

else if ($f == "4")

$f = "4th Quarter";

else if ($f == 'F')

$f = "Final";

else if ($f == 'FO')

$f = "Final Overtime";

}

Can we see more code, and maybe a snippet of the relevant XML?

It seems as if the $f == 'F' condition is always true.

Sure thing.. that's the entire thing

Yeah I figured it was always equal to "Final" but for some reason I've locked it into that and really am confused as to where I went wrong...

I suppose the smarter thing to do is to just add it to the loop at the end but I'd like it to show "Final" or "Final Overtime" or which Quarter the game is in... then just F or FO or in the case of the quarter it'll just show 1 2 3 or 4....

Thanks!

Would be really helpful to have the XML as well, or the URL you are retrieving it from... We have nothing to test against without it.

I don't see the code from your first post in the code from your last post, but in the original...the very first line doesn't make sense:

$f = ($game['q']); {

What's the { for at the end of that line, just before your first if()?

OH sorry.. sheesh... sometimes I get tunnel vision...

$type = $params->get('type'); 
 if ($type == '0') {
 	 $url='http://www.nfl.com/liveupdate/scorestrip/ss.xml';
     } 
else {
    $url='http://www.nfl.com/liveupdate/scorestrip/postseason/ss.xml';     
     }

Right now returns this:

So, I'm a little confused. Here you are looping over $xml->gms->g

foreach($xml->gms->g as $game) { 
  // if (!empty($game['vtn']))
    {
     $games[(string) $game['gt']][] = $game;
           
    }
 }

But here (right below it) you are not:

 if (($xml->gms->g['q']) == 'F') {
     $final = 'Final';
 }
 else if (($xml->gms->g['q']) == 'FO') {
     $final = 'Final Overtime';
}

You are only comparing the last index of $xml->gms->g (since you just iterated over it), which happens to be "F".

I can't see what you're trying to do with $final, but I think you got some flawed logic in there.

Yeah I do... I'm gonna let it slide for now...

The first one is looping through...'gt' is game type... WC, CON, DIV, SB, PRO they are the playoff games... WC = Wildcard..etc... I did that to put them in the order I wanted them to show..

It would go through and show 2 WC games.. then 2 CON game...then DIV.. Then Pro... Then SB...then back to CON.. then ending at WC

I wanted all the same game types to show at once in the correct order...

WC

DIV

CON

PRO

SB

That is the order they are played in...

But at the moment I have changed my thinking... Yes I want to show the final or final overtime but that 'q' can also show game quarter 1 2 3 or 4 so I have to set it up for the regular season you know some games are on at 1 some at 4 so that way it will show Final or Final Overtime for finished games and the Quarter they're in for current games....

I'm a bit tired now so I hope I'm not flappin' like a ducks butt right now LOL

Right, but the 'q' part is outside of the foreach loop. So, you're only looking at the data from one node.
