creating variables from a parsed xml doc

[burge124]

hi,

 

im parsing from an xml file and just need to know how to call those elements taken from the xml file into variables so that i can play around with them later?

 

//Initialize the XML parser

$parser=xml_parser_create();

 

//Function to use at the start of an element

function start($parser,$element_name,$element_attrs)

  {

  switch($element_name)

    {

    case "chapter":

    break;

    case "questiontitle":

    break;

    case "answera":

    break;

case "answerb":

    break;

case "answerc":

    break;

case "correctanswer":

    break;

    }

  }

 

from that information i want to create....

$chapter...

$qtitle....

$ansa....

$ansb...

and so on

 

thanks

i use this XML class parser.

Makes stuff very easy

 

Ex of use:

function xml_to_db1($name,$attribs,$content) {
if ($content!=""){
$content = explode("<$name>", $content);
$content = explode("</$name>", $content[1]);
$content[0]=addslashes($content[0]);
}

if ($name=="Name"){
$enter = mysql_query("INSERT INTO coach (id, name) VALUE ('', '$content[0]')") or die (mysql_error());
}else{
if ($content!=""){
$coach_select = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM coach order by id desc limit 0,1") or die (mysql_error());
$coach = mysql_fetch_array($coach_select); 
$enter = mysql_query("UPDATE coach SET $name='$content[0]' WHERE id='$coach[id]'") or die (mysql_error());
}
}
}

$parser1 = new Path_parser();
$parser1->set_handler("/STHS-Coaches/Coach/Name","xml_to_db1");
$parser1->set_handler("/STHS-Coaches/Coach/Team","xml_to_db1");
$parser1->set_handler("/STHS-Coaches/Coach/Country","xml_to_db1");
$parser1->set_handler("/STHS-Coaches/Coach/Age","xml_to_db1");
$parser1->set_handler("/STHS-Coaches/Coach/PH","xml_to_db1");
$parser1->set_handler("/STHS-Coaches/Coach/DF","xml_to_db1");
$parser1->set_handler("/STHS-Coaches/Coach/OF","xml_to_db1");
$parser1->set_handler("/STHS-Coaches/Coach/PD","xml_to_db1");
$parser1->set_handler("/STHS-Coaches/Coach/EX","xml_to_db1");
$parser1->set_handler("/STHS-Coaches/Coach/LD","xml_to_db1");
$parser1->set_handler("/STHS-Coaches/Coach/PO","xml_to_db1");
$parser1->set_handler("/STHS-Coaches/Coach/Contrac","xml_to_db1");
$parser1->set_handler("/STHS-Coaches/Coach/Salary","xml_to_db1");
if(!$parser1->parse_file("include/xml/LNHSP3-Coaches.xml")) {
  print("Error:".$parser1->get_error()."<br/>\n"); 
}else{
echo "LNHSP3-Coaches.xml has been parsed!<br>";	
}
