Help with parsing XML file part II - Need to place value of names into an array

[mykel241]

If someone can help me to parse this file and put the results into an array it would be great. I need the value between the name tags put into an array so I can print it out via a foreach loop. I am looking for the simplest option available. Thank you.

 

XML sample:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

 

<webservices ver="1.0">

  <status code="1.0"/>

  <markets>

    <market weight="10">

      <name>Boston</name>

    </market>

    <market weight="10">

      <name>Washington DC</name>

    </market>

Given the code in that post I would hope you can figure it out. The code is there just needs modifying. We are not here to code for you.

try

<?php
$file = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<webservices ver="1.0">
  <status code="1.0"/>
  <markets>
    <market weight="10">
      <name>Boston</name>
    </market>
    <market weight="10">
      <name>Washington DC</name>
    </market>';
preg_match_all('/<name>(.+?)<\/name>/', $file, $m);
$names = $m[1];
print_r($names);
?>

or try simplexml

 

<?php
$str = '<webservices ver="1.0">
  <status code="1.0"/>
  <markets>
    <market weight="10">
      <name>Boston</name>
    </market>
    <market weight="10">
      <name>Washington DC</name>
    </market>
  </markets>
</webservices>';

$xml = simplexml_load_string($str);

foreach ($xml->xpath('/webservices/markets/market/name') as $name) echo $name.'<br>';
