Parsing opf/xml data

[LeslieTx]

Hi... I am working to parse an opf file. I can pull the dc children but am having problems getting it to pull other information from the file.  Is there a way to do this?

What I am currently doing:

$package = simplexml_load_file("$url");
echo $package->metadata->children('dc', true)->creator."<br>";
echo $package->metadata->children('dc', true)->title."<br>";
echo $package->metadata->children('dc', true)->description."<br>";

Is there a way to parse the meta content by name?

File structure:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<package xmlns="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf" unique-identifier="uuid_id" version="2.0">
    <metadata xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:opf="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf">
        <dc:title>The Beginning of the End</dc:title>
        <dc:creator opf:file-as="Cassidy, Amanda" opf:role="aut">Amanda Cassidy</dc:creator>
        <dc:description>Working with young children can be a very rewarding job... and extremely frustrating at the...</dc:description>
        <meta content="Preschool Teachers Anonymous" name="library:series"/>
        <meta content="1" name="library:series_index"/>
    </metadata>
</package>

Try this:

 

foreach($package->metadata->meta as $meta) {
    echo "content:{$meta['content']}  name: {$meta['name']} <br>"; 
}
