Hi !
I've testet the XML parser first time today - and it works great.
I've only one problem:
XML-Example:
<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"ISO-8859-1" standalone=3D"yes"?>=20
<CONTENT>
<DATE value=3D"1">2001-09-06 14:45:12</DATE>
<CONTENTTYPE>plain/text - news</CONTENTTYPE>
<NEW>
<HEADLINE>Motorola bringt das Handy zum Aufziehen</HEADLINE>
<NEWSBODY>06.09.01 - Zum Thema regenerative ....</NEWSBODY>
</NEW>
</CONTENT>
With the function evaluate I can retrieve the Information in the the <NEW> =
tag, with
$CONTENT =3D $xml->evaluate("//NEW");
foreach ( $CONTENT as $NEW ) {
$HEADLINE =3D $xml->get_content($NEW."/HEADLINE[1]");
$NEWSBODY =3D $xml->get_content($NEW."/NEWSBODY[1]");
echo $HEADLINE."<p>".$NEWSBODY."<hr size=3D"1" noshade>";
}
But how can retrieve the information in the DATE and CONTENTTYPE -Tag ????
Thx for help !
Petra

Nigel,
Many thanks for that, it works a treat. Also interesting that once I'd done
that I got an error from phpXML that normalize-space() isn't supported by
the parser yet! But no worries, I removed that and it worked fine.
Thanks again - you're right the documentation isn't clear on this point but
now I know it, I'll not have the problem again!
Regards,
Gareth

Subject: [phpXML] Bug in setAttributes
After using setAttributes
($xml->setAttributes("/users[1]/Nodename[1]",array("atr1","atr2"));) I get
the following incorrect result:
<Nodename 0="atr1" 1="atr2"/>
Where do the 0 and 1 come from?
The array that you use for setAttributes should be an associative array, so
you are effectively doing:
setAttributes ($xml->setAttributes("/users[1]/Nodename[1]",array(0 =>
"atr1", 1 => "atr2"));)
Hence you end up with:
<Nodename 0="atr1" 1="atr2"/>
Try:
setAttributes ($xml->setAttributes("/users[1]/Nodename[1]",array("atr1"
=> "value1", "atr2" => "value2"));)

Hello everybody,
I'm new to the list (and obviously wasn't smart enough to find an
archive of this mailing list), so please don't be angry if this topic
has been discussed already:
When playing around with phpXML, I got a bunch of PHP warnings (PHP
4.0.2-dev standalone/CGI on Solaris,
error_reporting(-1)) about "undefined index". I was able to fix them
with a few lines - I will send the patch along with this mail.
Maybe this can be integrated in the next phpXML release?
Thanks,
Tim

How do I get attributes by the XPath function in phpxml?
I want to do something like in this code:
$results =
$xml->evaluate("//users/user[@us_workspace=$workspace]/product[@us_prname=$p
roduct]");
//Display user in list
$attributes = array();
foreach ($results as $users) {
//username
$attributes = $xml->get_attributes("parent::".$users);
Thanks,
Oliver

First you have to login with eMail an passwort.
Then you get on a page where you have to click on the button named
"Abmelden".
If you do'nt know your password, write your email-address on the first page
in the
section "Passwort vergessen". Then you get a mail.

Hi all, for a diff file the change are pretty big (on a relatively small file) so making one is not really usefull, well I will surely not post it to the list it's still pretty big for those who don't need it, if you want one just email me. I'm not sure if I present myself, my name is Francis Fillion I'm redoing one off my site (http://www.windplanet.com), the design is maybe 2-3 years old so a complete rewrite is in they process, all the stuff should speak XML, XSLT and ... so this is why I use phpxml, well I just find it out a few days back, so I still investigate it. I live in Montreal, Quebec (Canada), so if you can read my crappy english it's good, my native language is french. Anyway I think that phpxml is a good stuff and I will look forward to look at it and improve it, if I can. I see that 1.N.3 (Nigel) is a kind of a fork? The last version work well , well just changed my include and everythings seen to work OK, I will investigate more on this surely this week-end. Thank for adding my patch, well if you don't have diff, you don't have patch, so I guess you copy paste it check-it, you should have Linux you will have diff and patch ;) For they untrim() stuff, well don't want that because you want the original spacing stuff that you're user have put in there document, if xml_parser_get_option can be fixed we could change the constructor to implement that (give 1 or 0 and the trim get in or out...).

<blah1>
Text<blah2>more</blah2>text.
</blah>
this is the patch i did.
if ($highlight) $xml .= ">\n";
else $xml .= ">\n";
- if $highlight array is present then write ">\n";
- else write the regular way for output to xml.
- did that for both the opening and closing tag in get_file()
I always use <[!CDATA[ ]] Whenever I have invalid characters in the string
that i'm going to output to an xml document.
<blah1>
Text<blah2>more</blah2>text.
</blah>
I haven't encountered why I would use this kind of xml structure.
<blah1>
<blah>Text</blah>
<blah>more</blah>
<blah>text</blah>
</blah>
this has always been fine for me..

I'm pretty sure it is a well-formed XML structure. I'll research sometime
when I'm not at work, or I was hoping someone else would answer this for me.
Go check out www.w3c.org. It won't take long to confirm either way.

It couldn't possibly be the output from phpXML. As I have already argued,
the phpXML class is unable to represent such a structure internally, so it
can't output text of this form.

Many XML documents never use a mix of text and elements below a node, hence
you never see this issue.

I'm intrigued how you manage this. When I ask phpXML to get_file. It
escapes all the <> with < > and I get:
<blah1>
Text<blah2>more</blah2>text.
</blah>
This is not a well-formed XML document as it is both missing a <?xml .... ?>
bit (easily added) but it more annoyingly doesn't have a root node, as the
root node has been escaped by < and > so the blah1 element is no longer
an element but is now text.

Hello,
Copy the following in a file
<?php
echo phpinfo();
?>
Call the file lets say : phpinfo.php and call it from your browser.
If you have an include directory it will be reported in the resuting page.
Place your xml.php file in this include directory
In each php that uses xml.php :
include('xml.php');

Hi Michael, hi all, my name is Francis Fillion I'm working on a project
right
now that get a lot of xml, xslt (sablotron) and all this stuff involved.
I'm really happy to have found your stuff, I didn't tested very hard for
now, but I will. I just added a little function that help me use string
xml document, my xml document are all string (I build them from
database), so I have copy paste the patch right down, I mostly used your
code to do it. Continue the good work, any new devel version will be
welcome.

Text<blah2>more</blah2>text.

Just wondering if this is a correct xml data structure. Cause I haven't
seen somthing like this before. Or is this an output from phpXML? Can you
be a little bit more clear on this because i haven't encountered major
problems from phpXML except when I start using complex XPath.
I can easily write an xmlfile and read from an xmlfile but haven't tested
the replace and delete node.

I'm not sure that this actually solves the stated problem though as I think
I am right in saying that this is a fix that goes into get_file().
Therefore if the datastructure can't describe "Before<tag>Middle</tag>End",
then it's not going to be able to print it.
This fix will cope with usage of the object that make calls to
set_content("address","Some text <B>that</B> contains some markup."). But
if the xml file that you read in already has "Some text <B>that</B> contains
some markup." then the class is going to loose this structure in the parse.
Basically phpxml's internal datastructure is lossy. You can't read to
object and write back out to file and have two logically identical files.
Ideally it ought to be.
We need a more complete fix for this in the constructor or load_from_file
function I think....

Well apparently my question was far from clear :-)) I know about syndication, I use it and I use sometimes ith RSS sometimes not (RSS is something that allows you to send title and some basic information about a newsfeed, but you can do far more with syndication, i use it to communicate also complete texts) For example, have a look at www.interpasnet.com (the content as no importance its bullshit, I use this server for testing purpose). If you click on : - WinCVS mode d'emploi or on - CacheCache : Internet & discretion What you'll see is a XML file, A single XML file. The display is one paragraph at a time and in the contextual menu (second bloc on the left) the links are extracted from the same XML file. If you want to place the whole file (or only one paragraph on your website, just ask me I'll send you a single line of code and by magic it will happen.. ok but this is not my question. My question is in this case : the XML file uses a DTD that I made for my needs. I'm not sure (that is a very elegant way to say "I' very sure of the opposite") that this DTD is not the best for that, not the most reusable, not the most complete etc... So question : is there a DTD for along text (VS a newsfeed) published on a website ? In the same sense I use a specific DTD to hold information on a set of file in order to generate a global summary So question : is there a standrad DTD for this In some case I use a XML file to hold menu items, thius allow to control the navigation from a single point. So question : is the a DTD for that. Say in another way, if you want to publish a book or a long and rather complex text, there is a DTD : docbook (and the simple version for "simple" needs), is there other DTD more specific that docbook ? If all that is described higher is doable using RDF or other existing standard, my question is modified in : does any body knows a url where all this is explain (a tutorial) ? outside the W3 server, I don't need specs but real life examples.

Speed isn't much of a concern for me here, but memory usage is. The XML is only being used for exporting, importing and copying/pasting objects around in the application server's management interface. Content, presentation and logic are all stored in a MySQL database. The XML can get large because serializing a folder object serializes that object and any objects it contains. Again, the XML is being used to move objects around and to export objects and object types for backup or for import into another Phratry application server. The project is at phratry.sourceforge.net. It should have an alpha release within a couple weeks. It is similar to Zope but, in my biased opinion, much easier to install, use and develop in. ----Original Message Follows---- From: ph...@pe...

Interest? obvious disadvantage for one-off use is that it would be much slower. If this were reasonably static data, you could store the result in a permanent file as a sort of Xpath index, and then use that in your scripts - I quite like that idea, especially as other users could then use the index instead of rereading the file every time. xml files are no different from any other flatfile 'database': reading an entire large file to extract a small amount of data is not a very efficient thing to do. Without knowing your application, I would say as a rule of thumb, if xml files start getting large, either move to dbms with proper indexing or find some way to split into smaller files. -- This message has been sent through the <phpXML/> user discussion list.

RE: [phpXML] Bug in setAttributesAfter using setAttributes ($xml->setAttrib=
utes("/users[1]/Nodename[1]",array("atr1","atr2"));) I get the following in=
correct result:
<Nodename 0=3D"atr1" 1=3D"atr2"/>=20
Where do the 0 and 1 come from?=20
The array that you use for setAttributes should be an associative array, so=
you are effectively doing:
setAttributes ($xml->setAttributes("/users[1]/Nodename[1]",array(0 =3D>=
"atr1", 1 =3D> "atr2"));)
Hence you end up with:
<Nodename 0=3D"atr1" 1=3D"atr2"/>
Try:
setAttributes ($xml->setAttributes("/users[1]/Nodename[1]",array("atr1"=
=3D> "value1", "atr2" =3D> "value2"));)
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=

absolutely right, Nigel. The problem has nothing to do with CDATA - call it
embedded structure, where the child(ren) is in the middle of the parent. Try
the following:
<text>There are 2 categories:
<category>1</category>
<category>2 which has <sub>a subcategory</sub> as well</category>
which have to be taken into account.</text>
etc etc.
The parser adds an extra element to the array for each segment of a node, but
phpxml's load_file ignores this and just adds the content to the node without
any indication that there was a child in that position. Consequently, it
loses information. (it also compounds the error by stripping the spaces
around the tags, so "<text>The spacing is <e>very</e> important.</text>"
comes out as "The spacingisimportant." :-)
afaics, the only solution is to add an extra array to correspond to each
segment, so my example above would be stored as text[0] e[0] text[1]. It gets
pretty hairy though trying to put it back together again, as there is no
limit to the number or levels of the array. I gave up trying to use php's
parse_into_struct because my poor brain couldn't cope with navigating all the
arrays!

Hi,
I can add nodes no problem, if I do the following for instance:
$calendarXML->add_node("/calendar[1]/month[1]/day[2]","entry");
$calendarXML->add_content($newNode,"something");
That works fine. It's just using the @attribute='' XPath syntax doesn't seem
to work. The reason I don't use the above is that I don't want my parsing to
be dependant on the order of the months and days in the XML file.
Regards,
Gareth

Nigel, I'e just tested your supposition - voila ;-) Using for example: Expression: "/surname" Context: "/government[1]/person[3]" Provides a working answer. Though I was a bit surprised that, since there was only a single node for 'government', "context" still required the "/government[1]" syntax.
