Problems with PHP Version 4.1.0 ???

[J. C. <jan...@im...>]

I installed the new Version 4.1.0 of PHP (well the newest is 4.1.1 of
course) and now I am getting some warnings regarding the XPath Class (no
warnings with Version 4.0.6!):
______________

________________

My php file uses

include ("xpath.class.php") and
$xpath = new XPATH("xmlfile.xml") and

calls "getData()" two times, which works fine.

When using "@include()" it does not give warnings about the "call-time
pass-by-reference" but still the "call_user_method() function"-warning six
times.

I guess this is a general problem - or am I wrong?

Try deleting the nodes in the reverse order to which they come back from
evalute.  ie delete node 2 then 1, not 1 then 2.  This means the nodes DO
exist.

Yeah there will be a more elegant way to do this in the future. :o)

If you intend [b] bold [/b] to be an HTML tag, rather than an XML tag,
you'll need to store it as <b> bold </b>

As it is now, the XML parser will treat [b] bold [/b] as an XML tag,
which is why it doesn't come out when you fetch [en]'s contents.

You can browse the CVS repository with ViewCVS at

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/phpxpath/

HTH,

getData help and CVS module names?

[Paul / U. <pa...@tr...>]

I have some xml data like the following: (where you see [ and ] these are really < and > so they don't get confused with html tags :)

[root] 
  [en]
    some text with [b] bold [b] inside it
  [/en]
[root] 

What I want it to pull out ALL the contents of the [en] node including all the bold tags etc.
getData only gets :  some text with inside it  (looses the stuff in the bold tags)
getDataParts returns an array with 
[0]=>some text with 
[1]=> inside it
substringData returns the same as getData

How can I get all the tags properly within the [en] node.
I've tried doing a exportAsHTML on the [en] node and substring the [en] and [/en] but that is a horrible way to do it.

Also, I've seen talk of the ampersand problem being fixed in the exportAsXML - so I'm trying to get the latest version from anonymous CVS - but don't know what the module names are to get. Trying to list the module names with -c results in nothing?

Thanks for your time and help

AW: RemoveChild Problem

[J. C. <jan...@im...>]

Hi,
Thanks for the answer - the explanation was exactly as I already thought,
but
even when I tried to re-run evaluate() after each removeChild() or even
with using reset() it did not help - maybe I did it wrong, but shouldn't
that be
the correct solution??? Any advice for a nice working script to solve this?

Finally I decided to export the file after each
removeChild() and read it in again - that is quite slow of cause but works
at least.

Don't worry about the other errors (side effects of the same problem I
think - MON11 is
quite similar to MON10).

Cheers
 Jan

Re: RemoveChild Problem

[Nigel S. <nig...@us...>]

If you have:

<DATA>
  <MON10>
    <geburtstag>
      <datum>1007124443</datum>
      <name>hgvghv</name>
      <tag>9</tag>
    </geburtstag>
    <geburtstag>
      <datum>1007124467</datum>
      <name>adsd</name>
      <tag>9</tag>
    </geburtstag>
  </MON10>
</DATA>

And you search for:

  $path = $xpath_del->evaluate("/*/*/geburtstag");

Then you get:

    /DATA[1]/MON10[1]/geburtstag[1]
    /DATA[1]/MON10[1]/geburtstag[2]

Now if you delete /DATA[1]/MON10[1]/geburtstag[1], then your XML becomes:

<DATA>
  <MON10>
    <geburtstag>
      <datum>1007124467</datum>
      <name>adsd</name>
      <tag>9</tag>
    </geburtstag>
  </MON10>
</DATA>

So when you now try to delete /DATA[1]/MON10[1]/geburtstag[2] it doesn't
exist does it?  As there is only one geburtstag[] child node of MON10.
Which is why you get:

> Warning: Undefined index: geburtstag[2] in
> E:\imeso\web\portal\data\xpath.class.php on line 1098

There are other errors in your sample output, but as your sample output does
not completely match the XML that you have mailed, (ie what is MON11??) I
can't really help you with the others.

disappearing data bug fix

[<chr...@ma...>]

sorry about that last one....been a long day :(

i've encountered a bug in 2.1b which i reported (#491220).  seems that 
if you have the following xml:

<item><data>0</data><data>1</data></item>

importing then exporting results in

<item><data/><data>1</data></item>

basically losing the '0'

i've fixed the problem on 2.1b (unfortunately i am behind corp firewall 
and can't checkout cvs version)

here is the diff for XPath.class.php:

thank you kindly! saved my life, aka. lots of time fiddling around to

I had much the same thoughts myself. Here's a simple sample I wrote, first 
evaluating the first occurrence, then doing the same thing using a specific 
attribute. You can remove the comment on the print_r to see what 
evaluate/match creates (easier to read as plain text rather than html).

Faqs and examples.

All in due time folks :o)  I'd like to see this stuff too, but we are trying
to spend the time on 2.2 which will hopefully bring us out of "beta", then
we can enhance speed and produce more FAQ and examples stuff.

that's kinda the same question that sam blum asked me. the funny part 
is, i'm not /using/ any of the functions yet, all i did was a one-line 
test page that just require()'s the class.php file. i added the

"php_flag allow_call_time_pass_reference on"

directive to my .htacess file, which made the php compiler shut up 
about the deprecation warnings. possibly something should get added to 
the readme about, it's a bit disconcerting to see all those errors at 
first.

also, a short example php file showing basic php.xpath usage would be 
extremely helpful. the class documentation is nice, but not so helpful 
to a beginning user who doesn't necessarily know in advance what 
methods might be useful. i downloaded the pxpxmldb source to have 
something else to look at, but just a simple "here's a new xpath 
object, here's how we select a node and print it out, done." would go a 
long way. i'll try and write one and post it, maybe that could also be

idw - continued

[Peter R. <ph...@pe...>]

can't say I've been inundated with solutions to my previous posting :-(, but 
it's actually easy to fix w/o recompiling PHP as Dan suggests. Just escape 
the underscores in eregs, i.e. on lines 1990 and 2778.

Having fixed that, I now have a different problem.

I have an xml file with large numbers of child (+ grandchild ...) nodes which 
may or may not be present. My old phpxml script did an evaluate for the top 
level and then get_Contents for any children it needed; if a child didn't 
exist, phpxml simply set the variable to null. phpxpath, however, seems to 
throw an error and refuse to continue if you try and getData or getDataParts 
for a child or attribute that doesn't exist. If I have to do a match/evaluate 
for each of these nodes before getData, not only is that a lot of extra work 
but I'll probably have to rewrite the logic. 

Can phpxpath be changed to be like phpxml and simply set the variable to null 
if getData doesn't find the node?

Call-time pass-by-reference deprecation errors

i'm using the latest version of php.xpath [2.1 (beta)],

there was no INSTALL or README in the top level of the src directory; 
am i missing a step, or does this look like  php version-mismatch?

RE: Multi-dimension Array to XML ?

[Dietrich A. <die...@ga...>]

i'm just writing out pseudocode off the top of my head, cause i haven't used the newer versions of the class :)

there is (was?) a method that returned the root node (if there isn't, there should be). if you already know your root node, just cut
that part out, and pass your root node in. it was just a convenience thang anyway.

and i wasn't passing 2 nodes to appendChild, i was assuming you could call it like so:
appendChild($node,$newNodeName,$newNodeValue).

looks like you must call appendData() to set element content, so just cut off the ",$v" from that part.

Re: Multi-dimension Array to XML ?

[Girish N. <gi...@bt...>]

Hi

I'm trying to modify this code but running into some problems.

I've noticed your using a getRoot() function as well as passing what seem
like multiple nodenames to appendChild()

This doesn't seem to be in v2.1 on sourceforge.net, are you using some kind
of dev version?

Thanks


Girish

RE: Multi-dimension Array to XML ?

[Dietrich A. <die...@ga...>]

you could do something like this (again, pseudocode):

function recursiveArraytoxml(&$myXML,$array,$contexNode=false){
	// if no context node passed, set root node as context
	if(!$contextNode){
		$contextNode = $myXML->getRoot();
	}
	// loop thru array, creating nodes
	foreach($request as $k => $v){
		// recurse if value is an array
		if(is_array($v)){
			$newNode = $myXML->appendChild($node, $k);
			recursiveArraytoxml($myXML,$newNode,$v);
		} else {
			$newNode = $myXML->appendChild($node, $k, $v);
			$myXML->appendData($newNode, $v);
		}
	}
}

Re: Multi-dimension Array to XML ?

[Girish N. <gi...@bt...>]

Hi

Thanks for your code, i've modified it to insert data from my array too, but
i need some advice regarding flexibilty.

Currently it will deal with an array such as below with no problem.

$request["mission"]["dest"] = "France";
$request["mission"]["date"] = "22/07/2001";


But if i add one more level for example :


$request["contact"]["email"]["work"] = "j....@mi...";
$request["contact"]["email"]["home"] = "j....@ao...";

It can't handle it, i need to go down atleast one more level, but would also
like to make it future-proof just in-case the project specs get modified
later.

Thanks for your help.


Girish


 $root = "/request[1]";

  foreach($request as $k => $v){

   if(is_array($v)){
   $newNode = $myXML->appendChild($root, $k);

    foreach($v as $a => $b){
    $myXML->appendChild($newNode,$a, $b);
    $myXML->appendData($newNode . "/" . $a, $b);
    }

   }
   else {
   $newNode = $myXML->appendChild($root, $k, $v);
   $myXML->appendData($newNode, $v);
   }

  }

 print $myXML->exportAsXml();

Multi-dimension Array to XML ?

[Girish N. <gi...@bt...>]

Hi

Has anyone got any ideas how to take a multi-dimension array and output it
as XML ?

The array for example :

$request["agent"] = "James Bond";
$request["codename"] = "007";
$request["expenses"] = "100000000";

$request["mission"]["dest"] = "France";
$request["mission"]["date"] = "22/07/2001";

$request["contact"]["email"]["work"] = "j....@mi...";
$request["contact"]["email"]["home"] = "j....@ao...";

Thank you :)

RemoveChild Problem

[Jan C. <ja...@ca...>]

Hi all,

I am really fighting with this - it only removes "stand alone" childs and
not multiple child-nodes of a node:

The XML (List of birthdays per month) - (short version):

<DATA>
  <MON07>
    <geburtstag>
      <datum>1007124449</datum>
      <name>asdasd</name>
      <tag>9</tag>
    </geburtstag>
  </MON07>
  <MON09>
    <geburtstag>
      <datum>1007124458</datum>
      <name>Jan</name>
      <tag>8</tag>
    </geburtstag>
  </MON09>
  <MON10>
    <geburtstag>
      <datum>1007124443</datum>
      <name>hgvghv</name>
      <tag>9</tag>
    </geburtstag>
    <geburtstag>
      <datum>1007124467</datum>
      <name>adsd</name>
      <tag>9</tag>
    </geburtstag>
  </MON10>
</DATA>

Now I like to delete all "geburtstag" entries which are selected by
checkboxes - the value "datum" is posted by "HTTP_POST_VARS" of the
checkboxes and used to indentify the individual entries:

//Start as usual:
              $xpath_del = new XPATH($xmlfile);
              $path = $xpath_del->evaluate("/*/*/geburtstag");

              foreach( $path as $value )
                    {
//Get the "datum" node value in the xml
                      $date = $xpath_del->getData($value."/datum[1]");
//Compare the "datum" with the values in the HTTP_POST_VARS array
                      if (array_search ($date,$HTTP_POST_VARS)!="")
                        {
//Ok - this "value" node has too be deleted:
                        echo "Now comes: ".$value."<hr>";
                        $xpath_del->removeChild($value);
                        echo "Deleted<hr>";
                        }
                    }

I get this output result:

The Php.XPath development team are in complete agreement.  In the future
you'll find three modes of operation that you can select between.

1) Keep whitespace exactly as it was in the input file (the developent
version currently does this)
2) "Pretty print" the xml adding \n after close tags (2.1 does this)
3) Trim all unnecessary whitespace.

You'd select between the different modes using a SetOption() call after or
at construction.

Thanks for your interest.

[Peter R. <ph...@pe...>]

I installed phpxml for a project several months ago, and have had little time 
since. I'm now trying to update to the new version, but can't get it to work. 
I have just tried the useCases as provided out of the box and get the same 
problems: whatever I enter in the XPath expression box (except //*), I get 
error msgs similar to the following:

----------------------
Configuration Array ( [XmlFile] => government.xml [XPath] => /government[1] 
[Value] => [Action] => Search ) 

Searching
Warning: Invalid range end in XPath.class.php on line 1990
 Warning: Invalid range end in XPath.class.php on line 2778
 XPath error in XPath.class.php:2788 While parsing the XPath expression 
"/government[1]" an empty and therefore invalid node-test has been found.
-------------------

I see Dan has reported the 'invalid range end' in the bugs on sourceforge. I 
have had this msg in other scripts since installing php 4.0.6, and fixed it 
in them by removing the _ in the ereg list. I tried doing the same in 
phpxpath - this gets rid of the warnings, but doesn't fix the problem!

What's going on?

Btw, when I first used the useCases, I got 'Error, function test not written 
yet' until it dawned on me I'm supposed to press 'Search' not enter. Would 
suggest search should be default.
