Given the following XML Doc

 

<Consumer>

      <Programs>

            <Program>

                  <Title>30 Year</Title>

                  <author>Juan Rodriguez</author>

                  <publisher>abc</publisher>

            </Program>

            <Program>

                  <Title>20 Year</Title>

                  <author>Albert Rodriguez</author>

                  <publisher>abc</publisher>

            </Program>

            <Program>

                  <Title>10 Year</Title>

                  <author>Jose Guzman</author>

                  <publisher>xyz</publisher>

            </Program>

 

How could I construct a table like the following:

 

Title    | Author              |

 

      ABC Publishing          |

30 Year | Juan Rodriguez  |

20 Year | Albert Rodriguez |

 

      XYZ Publishing

10 Year | Jose Guzman    |

 

 

Currently I can build a dynamic table using the following but I can't figure out how to only print out the publisher once as a heading for all the products that match it, and then when a new publisher is detected print a new header and output all matching published products beneath that.

 

$file = 'results.xml';

 

// Loading the results into a new DomDocument

        $dom1 = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'ISO-8859-1');

        $dom1->load($file, LIBXML_NOBLANKS);

 

<?php

        echo("<TR>");

        echo("<TH></TH>");

        echo("<TH>Title</TH>");

        echo("<TH>Author</TH>");

        echo("<TH>Publisher</TH>");

 

        $root = $dom1->documentElement;

 

        $title = $dom1->getElementsByTagName("Title");

        $author = $dom1->getElementsByTagName("Author");

        $publisher = $dom1->getElementsByTagName("Publisher");

 

        $length = $title->length;

        for ($x=0; $x < $length; $x++) {

 

 

        echo "<TR><TD>".$title->item($x)->nodeValue."</TD>";

        echo "<TD>".$author->item($x)->nodeValue."</TD>";

        echo "<TD>".$publisher->item($x)->nodeValue."</TD></TR>";

 

The above code actually outputs

 

Title    |  Author        |  Publisher
