XML & PHP

Skaidon · July 19, 2007

Okay, I'm VERY new to PHP and XML, here is what I have and what I need.

I have an XML file that outputs tracks from an album like this:

<tracks>
<track>Time Was</track>
<track>Sometime World</track>
<track>Blowin' Free</track>
<track>The King Will Come</track>
<track>Leaf And Stream</track>
<track>Warrior</track>
<track>Throw Down The Sword</track>
<track>Jail Bait (Live) (Live in Memphis)</track>
<track>The Pilgrim (Live In Memphis)</track>
<track>Phoenix (Live at Memphis)</track>
</tracks>

And I need to print each title, with a line break or comma-space in between each track. I can get the track listing printed, but not separated.

Thanks to those that read this, I look forward to your replies.

code...?

lightningstrike · July 19, 2007

\r\n represents a carriage return and a new linefeed you can just add that after printing each track.

Skaidon · July 19, 2007

Right now I just have the tracks in $cdTracks, but printing this prints each one out like this:

Time WasTime WasSometime WorldTime WasSometime WorldBlowin' FreeTime WasSometime WorldBlowin' FreeThe King Will ComeTime WasSometime WorldBlowin' FreeThe King Will ComeLeaf And StreamTime WasSometime WorldBlowin' FreeThe King Will ComeLeaf And StreamWarriorTime WasSometime WorldBlowin' FreeThe King Will ComeLeaf And StreamWarriorThrow Down The SwordTime WasSometime WorldBlowin' FreeThe King Will ComeLeaf And StreamWarriorThrow Down The SwordJail Bait (Live) (Live in Memphis)Time WasSometime WorldBlowin' FreeThe King Will ComeLeaf And StreamWarriorThrow Down The SwordJail Bait (Live) (Live in Memphis)The Pilgrim (Live In Memphis)Time WasSometime WorldBlowin' FreeThe King Will ComeLeaf And StreamWarriorThrow Down The SwordJail Bait (Live) (Live in Memphis)The Pilgrim (Live In Memphis)Phoenix (Live at Memphis)

So it is basically returning each title, but starting at the beginning each time, like 112123124, etc....

Again, I'm really ne to PHP.

Thanks!

Without posting your php code we cannot assist you properly.

Sorry, forgot that bit!

This code was mostly written by someone else, for a slightly different set of XML files, so I've been trying to edit it and came stuck on the multiple track entries....

Thanks

I just added \r\n after the cdTracks data not sure if I'm understanding your problem correctly.

Unfortunately, that didn't fix it, it still comes out all wrong.

What I want to display is:

Time Was, Sometime World, Blowin' Free, The King Will Come, Leaf And Stream, Warrior, Throw Down The Sword, Jail Bait (Live) (Live in Memphis), The Pilgrim (Live In Memphis), Phoenix (Live at Memphis).

(or have it seperated by blank lines, doesn't matter)

but what is being displayed is:

Time Was Time Was Sometime World Time Was Sometime World Blowin' Free Time Was Sometime World Blowin' Free The King Will Come Time Was Sometime World Blowin' Free The King Will Come Leaf And Stream Time Was Sometime World Blowin' Free The King Will Come Leaf And Stream Warrior Time Was Sometime World Blowin' Free The King Will Come Leaf And Stream Warrior Throw Down The Sword Time Was Sometime World Blowin' Free The King Will Come Leaf And Stream Warrior Throw Down The Sword Jail Bait (Live) (Live in Memphis) Time Was Sometime World Blowin' Free The King Will Come Leaf And Stream Warrior Throw Down The Sword Jail Bait (Live) (Live in Memphis) The Pilgrim (Live In Memphis) Time Was Sometime World Blowin' Free The King Will Come Leaf And Stream Warrior Throw Down The Sword Jail Bait (Live) (Live in Memphis) The Pilgrim (Live In Memphis) Phoenix (Live at Memphis)

Can you show me the code for the actual page that is calling these functions.

Edit: Alright I'll take a closer look at the original code.

Skaidon · July 19, 2007

That is all the code I have, except the includes.php, which has this:

// function that actually calls the service and gets the response
function GetPage ($URL, $PostParams = ''){
// Set params...
$ch = curl_init($URL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

if ($PostParams <> ''){

};
$Page = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $Page;
};

As I said before, I'm really way out of my league here, I'm a designer not a programmer, lol

Thanks for your help.

Umm I'm not sure what your cURL spider is actually loading.

could you try putting echo $Page; at the end of the page at share the results.

It just prints $Page at the bottom of the page.

Umm can you tell me what $Page contains.

Make sure its within the php tags. I believe that your cURL action may be returning many times the data.
