xml parser help!

[becu]

Let say I have this xml file:

 

<Url>
http://www.pagesoftheheart.net/gallery/data/500/3660Love_each_other.jpg
</Url>
<Thumbnail>
<Url>http://mud.mm-a2.yimg.com/image/2218795354</Url>
<Thumbnail>

 

all I need is get and display the info inside <Url> element inside Thumbnail.

 

What should I do? because the code I wrote, everytime, I encounter an opening tag <URL>, it will put the data in between the tags into the variable.

 

thanks.

Can we see this code?

<?php
$file = "http://search.yahooapis.com/ImageSearchService/V1/imageSearch?appid=.hLnSDPV34ETvZalCRwGE5j7.4C8rh7u0bHBMN_wsC3LZAJC8pXBLn2ZnjvWDzaF0w--&query=love&results=50&start=1";

$insideitem = false;
$url = "";
$thumb = "";
$col = 0;

function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs)
{
    global $insideitem, $url, $thumb, $col;
    if ($name == "URL")
        $insideitem = true;
    else $insideitem = false;
}

function characterData($parser, $data)
{
global $insideitem, $tag, $url, $thumb, $col;
if ($insideitem)
{
	$m = $col % 2;
	switch ($m) {
	   case "0":
	   $url = $data;
	   break;
	   case "1":
	   $thumb = $data;
	   break;
	}
   }
}

function endElement($parser, $name)
{
    global $insideitem, $url, $thumb, $col;
   	if ($name == "URL") {
   	   	$re = $col % 2;
   		if ($re == "0")
   		{
		printf("{$open}<td onMouseOver=this.style.backgroundColor='{$bg}'; onMouseOut=this.style.backgroundColor=''><div align=\"center\"><a href='%s'><img src='%s' width='120'></a></div></td>{$close}", $url, $thumb);
                }
       }
        $col++;
}
?>

 

As you can see above, I try to get rid of one of the url, but the result turns out an image of one thumbnail having the url of the next image. And I bet this is not the best possible solution. There gotta be a way to get just the URL inside THUMBNAIL.

 

thanks.

I don't think that's what i'm asking.

 

thanks anyway.

ok so you want to get the url instead of image?

my code, every time it sees an opening "<Url>" tag, it will get the data in between those tags. In this case, there are 2 <Url> tags in one xml file and I only need to get data in between <Url> </Url> tags in <Thumbnail>. Is there a way to know that we're in the <Url> tag of Thumbnail not the other <Url> tag
