[SOLVED] extra line in xml

[corillo181]

i have this code to insert context into xml

the problem is when the context is inserted a extra blank line is inserted..

 

and if you know about xml you can't have no extra blank line..

 

this is the code

 

$dom = new DomDocument();
$dom->load('xml.xml');


$books= $dom->appendChild($dom->createElement('artists'));
$book= $books->appendChild($dom->createElement('artist'));
$tittle= $book->appendChild($dom->createElement('tittle'));
$tittle->appendChild($dom->createTextNode('the malo'));

$dom->ignoreWhite = true;
$dom->formatOutput = true;
$dom->save('xml.xml');

 

and this is the result

1 <?xml version="1.0"?>
2 <artists>
3  <artist>
4    <tittle>the malo</tittle>
5  </artist>
6 </artists>
7

I'm not the best with xml, but does that matter?  Perhaps PHP just goes onto the next line ready to input data

[corillo181]

the problem with living a blank line is that next time you try to read the code is going throw a error

 

which is

 

Warning: DOMDocument::load() [function.DOMDocument-load]: Extra content at the end of the document in file:///C%3A/wamp/www/xml.xml, line: 7 in C:\wamp\www\Untitled-2.php on line 5

man where are the php guru to help me out with this.!!!!!!!!!!

[matthewhaworth]

Perhaps the line was in there to begin with, before php dealt with it?

 

Delete absolutely everything out of the xml file and try again?

[corillo181]

i already made it work with this code..

 

and the line kept putting it self in..

 

now I'm trying to work on giving each artist node a id value attribute

 

while i do my search if any one knows how to do feel free to help.

[corillo181]

does any one at least knows how to read xml ?

 

i used xpath to make a query now i want to get only the name or what ever else i want, but it only gives me

all the values with the riquired id.

 

$dom = new DomDocument;
$dom->load('test2.xml');

$xp = new domxpath($dom);
$query = "/artists/artist[@id=1]";

$artist = $xp->query($query);

foreach($artist as $name){

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($name);  

print $xml->getElementsByTagName('name');

}

I didn't already have "xml.xml" to load so I commented out the second line.

 

Running gave -->

 

[pre]

1 <?xml version="1.0"?>

2 <artists>

3  <artist>

4    <tittle>the malo</tittle>

5  </artist>

6 </artists>

[corillo181]

it's alright i already got everything working..

 

found some great tutorial at IBM dot com

 

they really know their stuff

[Barand]

I assume you mean this one

Just to round off the topic

 

<?php
/**
* data
*/
$tArray = array(1=>'The Tempest', 'Romeo and Juliet', 'Loves Labours Lost', 'King Henry V');

/**
* create the xml file
*/
$dom = new DomDocument();
$dom->formatOutput = true;

$books= $dom->appendChild($dom->createElement('artists'));

foreach ($tArray as $id=>$t)
{
    $book= $books->appendChild($dom->createElement('artist'));
    $book->setAttribute('id', $id);
    $tittle= $book->appendChild($dom->createElement('tittle'));
    $tittle->appendChild($dom->createTextNode($t));
}

$dom->save('xml.xml');

/**
* read it
*/
$xml = simplexml_load_file('xml.xml');

foreach ($xml->artist as $a)
{
    echo "{$a['id']} : $a->tittle<br />";
}
?>
