I found that class supports get_name($node) method, but it operates only
on individual nodes. Might be nice to have get_names($nodes) as well.

[phpXML] Design questions...

[<lu...@sa...>]

Hello,

The following is not directly phpxml related but is strongly phpxml use related 
so I hope this will not annoy anybody.

Question #1
===========
Is there somewhere a set of standard dtd to be used in a web site ?
I know the easy quick answer to this is : docbook
I had a quick look at the 26543658876 pages documentation without understanding 
how this works and how to use it in  real life normal web site (I don't intend 
to publish a Boeing 747 documentation).
Used in a "normal" web site context this looks very much like hunting a 
mosquito using missiles.

What I'm looking for is a set of dtd describing a text, a menu, a newsfeed and 
so on.
I use home made ones and I'm not sure there are the most clever possible :- )

Question #2
===========
What is the difference about attribute and element ?

I know what the difference is.
I mean in the context of phpxml is there a benefit to use one or the other.
For example is :

<address street_name= "foo street" street_number = "65" town ="foo city" 
country="foo land"/>

the same in term of php processing efficiency, memory use and so on  than :

<address>
	<street_name>foo street</street_name>
	<street_number>65</street_number>
	<town>foo city</town>
	<country>foo land</country>
</address>

TIA

Hello Maciej Kus,

Use the cheap built in sequential XML parser functions of php like

xml_parser_create - create an XML parser
xml_set_element_handler - set up start and end element handlers
xml_set_character_data_handler - set up character data handler
xml_parse - start parsing an XML document
...

and so on (see the php documentation searching with keyword "XML parser
functions" ).

They are exactly designed for sequential reading the xml file whereas the
<phpxml/> or the xml dom are needed if you want to be independent from the
sequential structure of the xml data.

If you are new to phpxml, then the very first thing you should do is get
V1.N.4 from the below link.  Otherwise you'll just end up finding all the
bugs we found in the last 3 months.

Also phpxmldb will give you examples of quite a lot of the calls, and
there's quite good debugging to be found too.

V1.0 won't do a very good job of read in and write back out to another XML
file, but V1.N.4 will.

Along the lines of:

$myatrributesarray = array();
$listofmybuddies = $xml->evaluate('/buddy_list/buddy');
foreach ( $listofmybuddies as $buddy )
{
     $myatrributesarray  = $xml->getAttributes($buddy);
     $id                 = $myatrributesarray['id'];

    // Well this is what you wrote, but for your XML fragment this will
return a
    // null array....
     $firstname        = $xml->getAttributes($buddy ."/firstname[1]");

     $lastname          = $xml->getData($buddy ."/lastname[1]");
     $isniceguy         = $xml->getData($buddy ."/isniceguy[1]");
    // Or:
     $lastname          = $xml->substringData($buddy ."/lastname[1]");
     $isniceguy         = $xml->substringData($buddy ."/isniceguy[1]");
    // Or
     $lastname          = implode('', $xml->getDataParts($buddy
."/lastname[1]"));
     $isniceguy         = implode('',$xml->getDataParts($buddy

}

Should all be in the online documentation, ie what function replaces what:

[phpXML] Re: [phpXML] Re: Searching on attributes

[<inf...@aj...>]

Bonjour luc,

Le samedi 7 juillet 2001 à 09:10:32, vous écriviez :

lsec> '//agenda/month[@name="$month_name"]');

It's not phpXml but an error with your PHP coding :
Between single quotes PHP doesn't calculate/evaluate the variables if
you make this test :
$month_name = 18;
echo '//agenda/month[@name="$month_name"]';

You will obtain this output :  //agenda/month[@name="$month_name"]

To correct you must write :
echo "//agenda/month[@name=\"$month_name\"]";
and you will have : //agenda/month[@name="18"]

I prefer this :
echo sprintf( '//agenda/month[@name="%s"]', $month_name) ;

I use echo to demonstrate, you use this in strings..
(Sorry but my english is poor, I hope I help you)

[phpXML] phpXML bug (I think!)

[<ga...@wh...>]

Hi,

We've been using your phpXML class in a project and have come across a
problem. Basically, this section of XML below:

<paragraph>
	This is the first <bold>paragraph</bold>. A second is below
</paragraph>

When we read it in from a file, and do some work on the XML and then
re-export it as a file it becomes the following:

<paragraph>
	This is the first . A second is below
	<bold>paragraph</bold>
</paragraph>

This obviously isn't correct according to the way the XML went it (and this
is an accepted thing to do as in an XML document as far as I am aware) - it
appears that phpXML is taking elements that occur within other elements
(when the parent element has data) and putting them at the end of the
parent's content. Has this problem been identified before and, if so, does
anybody have a work-around for it as we're quite a way into the project now
and we don't really want to remove phpXML from it.

If anybody does have any ideas I'd appreciate hearing them :)

Regards,

Gareth Lancaster

Just to let you know that the broken search facility at the geocrawler arch=

 There seem to be several such postings, so it has been known about for som=

So in the mean time if we are very clear with our email subjects then we'll=

[phpXML] beginners question

[<pie...@si...>]

I tried to use the phpxml package (latest version on http://www.phpxml.org/)
but i encountered errors when running the included example files.
Even a very simple test i made generated an error :

<?
  require getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT') . '/../common/xml.php';
  $doc = new XML('base.xml');
  echo $doc->get_file();
?>

The base.xml document contains only this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<test>
</test>

I expected this to just display this simple XML document, but instead it
generated errors :
<br>
<b>Warning</b>:  Undefined index:  /test in <b>/www/wine/common/xml.php</b>
on line <b>443</b><br>
<br>
<b>Warning</b>:  Undefined index:   in <b>/www/wine/common/xml.php</b> on
line <b>456</b><br>
<br>
<b>Warning</b>:  Undefined index:   in <b>/www/wine/common/xml.php</b> on
line <b>464</b><br>
&lt;test/&gt;

All examples in the package (governement, xpath) generated simular problems.
What am i doing wrong ?..

[phpXML] I can't get an attribut value of an element

[<flo...@co...>]

Actually, after a couple of hours of testing, I can't do something with
it:
I'm trying to get the value of an argument from a know element.
for exemple, my xml file (successfully validated) begin like that:

<list>
<document>
 <content category=3D"journal" revision=3D"0.1.b"/>
 <date revision=3D"2000-12-31 15:54:00" =
revision_datestamp=3D"9945456654"
creation=3D"2000-12-31 15:54:00" creation_datestamp=3D"9945456654"/>

.
.
.

 </document>
</list>

and I don't know how to get //list/document/date/@creation (those XPath
request works with the enlightning script exemple)

If i do (based on the German government reasearch tool):

<?
$xml =3D new XML("test.xml");
$test =3D $xml->evaluate("//list/*");
?>
here is the title : <? echo $xml->get_content($doc."/title[1]"); ## this
works fine. ?><br>
here is the creation date : I don't know how to get it!!


Thank's for your help.

First of all it's a long standing unwritten rule of listserves that you 
should only post plain text email messages.
Also don't be sorry for causing inconvenience just stop causing that 
inconvenience in the first place. It's much easier for you send your email 
as plain text then for everybody else to switch their email readers. 
Exactly what do you get out of send out HTML email in the first place?

IMAP has nothing to do with it. And once again why should we have to write 
scripts or switch our favorite email clients just because you are too lazy 
click one button and turn off HTML email.

>Sorry.

Don't be sorry just turn it off.

[phpXML] Re: [phpXML] Entities

[<fra...@vi...>]

Well what I think is that if you put <br> </br> in your text it will be
evaluated as markup, well the xml_parser_* method of PHP do get it as
markup because in a regular way it is.
Well after testing it myself, since I never send html in my xml, it will
remove your <br> </br> from your output data (get_content,
get_attributes, didn't test they other one).

 phpxml convert < to get ride of bad xml or to be sure that 10<20 (< can
not be use in xml data) will not be used as markup, it shouldn't need to
convert > because that is a valid character ...

For myself I strip all html data before going in that function (I have a
list of tag that I accept, my xml markup) all they other have there < 
replaced with &lt; and an error message is displayed.

I wonder if people will like a little function that I have made, it's
not perfect (still testing) but it use phpxml to get your xml document
as array, like this:

<myxml>
<test>
	<data>Hello world</data>
</test>
</myxml>

$myxml[test][data] = Hello World

or something like this.

[phpXML] Re: bugs with character entities?

Hello,

I had a lot of problem with this entities array, problems that disappeared 
when I emptied the array.
I don't know if  this break something for a general XML use, but for

[phpXML] Re: phpxml Version 1.N.4

[<lu...@sa...>]

To be clear about my message:

It was by no mean an aggressive one, I just wanted to be clear about this “new” 
start.

I’ve suffered it several times, a fork is the best way to screw up things, and 
I use a lot phpxml so I’d be very worried if it disappeared .
XML is not something very supported in the PHP world, and they are not a huge 
lot of alternatives to phpxml.

So congratulations to Nigel the new maintainer and keep cool every body : -)

[<aj...@ho...>]

My file's header just says 1.0, no more details than that. But, I downloaded
the latest and the suspect area seems to be unchanged. Here is what I
believe is suspect. The are that begins as follows, on line 1492:

// Check whether the operator is a - sign.
if ( $operator == "-" )

My xpath looks like this:
//map/association[translate(@from-class,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdef
ghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')='User']";

When I remove the hyphen from the dtd, schema, xpath, etc, the query works
find. But, with a hyphen, the class strips the hyphen and returns an empty
result. I could just remove the hyphen forever, but the hyphen is valid as
far as I know. So, I'll continue to look at the code.

I don't believe anyone has found this to be a bug yet.  Are you using
version 1.N.4?

I did read it and tried to apply the expression. It seems that phpXML
doesn't support nested function calls.

phpXML error: While parsing an XPath expression there was found an error in the predicate
"//*[contains(name(),'image')]", because after a closing bracket there was found something unknown.

[phpXML] Forget my stupid question (Re: [phpXML] [HELP !] Feeding

[<lu...@sa...>]

Hello,

Please forget my previous post, the answer is :

$file = 'foo.xml';
$xml_data = $tpl->fetch($file);
$xml = new XML(); // without mention if the file
$xml->load_string ($xml_data);

[phpXML] basic phpxml help

[<jvo...@wi...>]

Hello all,

I'm new to using the phpxml script and I can't seem to
get a basic example using the get_content() function to work.

I was wondering if someone might be willing to point me in the right
direction here.  I feel as though I'd be on my way if I could only
understand why such a simple example won't work.

I've included the two files below (test.php and test.xml)
Any help would be very much appreciated.  

Thanks in advance for your time,

John Vollmer


******test.php**********
<html>
<head>
  <title>xpath testing</title>
</head>

<body>

<?php

//include the phpxml class
include("xml.php");

// bring in the xml
$xml = new XML("test.xml");

//get content of the item element
$content = $xml->get_content("/root/item");

//print the node's content
echo "Content: ".$content;

?>

</body>
</html>


*********test.xml***********
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
  <item>content</item>
</root>

[phpXML] Re: Basic question about xpath.class.php use

[<lu...@sa...>]

Nigel,

I'm not sure the problem lies in my XML files, I think it lies in the way I 
didn't modify my php file.

At : http://www.interpasnet.com/1.N.5/examples/government/index.php
You'll find Michael P. Mehl. government example with only two changes :
1) call to (include) php file xplath.class.php instead of xml.php
2) call to class XPath instead of XML (like in $xml = new XPath($file);)

try it with for example the key word "Gerhard"

The result is the same :
phpXML error: While parsing an XPath expression there was an error in the 
predicate "Gerhard", because it was the null string. If you wish to seach 
for the empty string, you must use ''.
