Answer 1

We'll say that your XML file name is doc.xml and the XSL file is doc.xsl...




$xml_file = 'doc.xml';

$xsl_file = 'doc.xsl';



$doc = new DOMDocument();

$xsl = new XSLTProcessor();



$doc->load($xsl_file);

$xsl->importStyleSheet($doc);



$doc->load($xml_file);

echo $xsl->transformToXML($doc);

?>



Note that the XSL file contains the style information for your XML file. This file tells the XML file how to render on the screen. If you do not have an XSL file, then you can either create one or remove the XSL pieces of the above PHP.

Answer 2

Try this, it will generate an array from the XML file. (From the php.net website)



Usage:

$file = 'file.xml';

$xmlArray = genArrayFromXML($file);



Then use foreach to get the data back out, you will have to use more then one foreach to reach each node.



Example:

foreach($xmlArray as $a)

{

foreach($a as $b)

{

foreach($b as $c)

{



// Node data for value of "node"

}

}

}

?>

Don't re invent the wheel.



Try XML Parser.

Answer 4

$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument(); $xmlDoc->load("xml.xml"); $x = $xmlDoc->documentElement; foreach ($x->childNodes AS $merchandise) { foreach ($merchandise->childNodes AS $y) { echo $y->nodeName . " = " . $y-nodeValue; } } i think of that something like which will remedy it. pass to the region and study some extra for added info on what you attempt to end.
