Finding Code

[Axcelcius]

I am trying to work with a sitemap and be able to add and delete URLs. So I need to be able to search out URL sections like below using the URL link as the identifier for the section of code. What expression would I use to find the bottom section of code in the sitemap? It would have to match the URL exactly.

 

   <url>
      <loc>http://www.example.com/catalog?item=73&desc=vacation_new_zealand</loc>
      <lastmod>2004-12-23</lastmod>
      <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
   </url>

 

sitemap.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">

   <url>
      <loc>http://www.example.com/</loc>
      <lastmod>2005-01-01</lastmod>
      <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
      <priority>0.8</priority>
   </url>
   <url>
      <loc>http://www.example.com/catalog?item=12&desc=vacation_hawaii</loc>
      <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
   </url>
   <url>
      <loc>http://www.example.com/catalog?item=73&desc=vacation_new_zealand</loc>
      <lastmod>2004-12-23</lastmod>
      <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
   </url>
   <url>
      <loc>http://www.example.com/catalog?item=74&desc=vacation_newfoundland</loc>
      <lastmod>2004-12-23T18:00:15+00:00</lastmod>
      <priority>0.3</priority>
   </url>
   <url>
      <loc>http://www.example.com/catalog?item=83&desc=vacation_usa</loc>
      <lastmod>2004-11-23</lastmod>
   </url>
</urlset>

Is this code used in PHP? Take a look at the eval() function. It allows you to take XML outputted data, and transmit it into an array which is more readily accessible than using RegEx.

It will be in PHP. The goal is to use PHP to automatically add and delete URLs in the sitemap.

I think you can use XPath: url/loc[text() = 'url']
