Load XML to mySQL

[eeekin_07]

Hi,

 

Iam really new in php and mysql..and i got i project dat need to load data from .xml..

can anyone help me in this? i got many types of codes in internet but wat types of codes should i used? anyone xperienced in this? could u help me? plis..

[maxim]

i actualy just did this.

 

basicly i use php 5. it has the simpleXML extension.

 

i iterate throgh the xml file and store the values i want into one array, like so

 

$movielist = simplexml_load_file('http://www.path to XML file');

//retrive the array of movie titles from the xml file
foreach ($movielist->movie as $movie) {
$array[] = $movie->title;
}

 

now all my values i want are in the $array variable.

now ill chuck them into a database (assuming one is already created and has a table to put the data into)

 

foreach ($array as $xml_title) {
$sql = "INSERT INTO movie_list (title,date) VALUES(\"$xml_title\",\"$timestamp\");";
sqlite_query($dbase_connection,$sql);
}

 

for mysql specific functions - i find this book healpfull

i hope this helps

 

edit, if the $timestamp var throws you off its just a simple $timestamp = time();

Thanx maxim,

 

i've tried using your code an it is only success if the xml file like this:

 

<TransactionMessage>

  <TransactionHeader>

        <ServiceName>KSM - Application for Incentive Under the Programme to Encourage Malaysian Citizens with Expertise Residing Overseas to Return to Malaysia</ServiceName>

        <Version>1.0</Version>

        <AgencyIdentifier>fksm</AgencyIdentifier>

        <TransactionDate>11/04/2007 14:20:14</TransactionDate>

        <PSPTransactionID>39265</PSPTransactionID>

        <PSPReferenceNumber>070411-00039265</PSPReferenceNumber>

  </TransactionHeader>

</TransactionMessage>

 

the problem is my xml stucture have 2 diff header: eg:

 

<TransactionMessage>

- <TransactionHeader>

      <ServiceName>KSM - Application for Incentive Under the Programme to Encourage Malaysian Citizens with Expertise Residing Overseas to Return to Malaysia</ServiceName>

      <Version>1.0</Version>

      <AgencyIdentifier>fksm</AgencyIdentifier>

      <TransactionDate>11/04/2007 14:20:14</TransactionDate>

      <PSPTransactionID>39265</PSPTransactionID>

      <PSPReferenceNumber>070411-00039265</PSPReferenceNumber>

  </TransactionHeader>

 

- <TransactionData>

-      <KSM_IncentiveProgrammeEN>

            <?jetform ^Dat ^page Page1?>

            <FullName>LAY YUN</FullName>

            <newic1Applicant>770911</newic1Applicant>

            <newic2Applicant>10</newic2Applicant>

        </KSM_IncentiveProgrammeEN>
