annihilate Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Hello, I am trying to retrieve some data from an XML file and I am using some code from [a href=\"http://www.zend.com/zend/spotlight/code-gallery-wade6.php\" target=\"_blank\"]here[/a] to do it. The problem I am having is how to get the 'date uts' value, in the example below it is 1141249715. The other values I can get ok using $_item['URL'] for example, and $_item['DATE'] gets me the Mar 1, 2006 bit. [code]<track> <artist mbid="665e63e9-cf0c-49c7-b98d-0d42ff9c50de">The Jimi Hendrix Experience</artist> <name>In From The Storm</name> <mbid /> <url>http://www.last.fm/music/The+Jimi+Hendrix+Experience/_/In+From+The+Storm</url> <date uts="1141249715">Mar 1, 2006, 21:48</date> </track>[/code]The alternative I suppose would be to convert the Mar 1, 2006 bit into a timestamp, but seems overkill when there is already a timestamp there, I just can't work out how to access it!Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/4118-get-date-from-an-xml-file/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickning1 Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Dude, I knew you could pick up chicks in an XML file!Seriously though, after reading through that website it seems that the code posted there does not support extracting those tags. I haven't had to parse XML with PHP yet but I may investigate and see if I can be of more help later.

jajtiii Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Use the SimpleXML object/library. Zend should have some tutorials on that as well.If the xml is well-formed, it will give you an easy way to extract whatever you want.
