phpxpath-users — General user discussion of Php.XPath

[phpXML] Re: [phpXML] Re: [phpXML] [xpath.class.php] Question (stupid one ?)

[<bs...@us...>]

Hi Luc, 

my answer will be surprising: "Everything is OK".
The problem is in the code of M.Mehl you  use to do the query. 
It's missing quotes !:
Sample:
   //person/*[contains(., 'Jos')]/..    ( Not    //person/*[contains(., Jos)]/.. )

Correct line 134 (+/-)
         $government = $xml->evaluate( "//person/*[contains(., $term)]/..");
to
         $government = $xml->evaluate( "//person/*[contains(., '$term')]/..");

Otherwise XPath will asume it's a function call instead of a string
and will try to evaluate it.

[phpXML] Re: [phpXML] How to get at attributes.

[<se...@ww...>]

Hi,

I think it's not possible. The only way to get the attributes is to use
get_attributes function.

If you want to use XPath expressions so you must use XSLT to extract the
data and generate HTML.

Thanks.  Spotted some other instances of this too.  Oops (again).  And there
was me thinking it was a good idea to change from $path to $absoluteXPath.

Great job !

Your results are imapcted by the infamous array-entities() problem...
Try to emplty this array and you'll see the &apos; disapear (and probably see 
also other problems emerge.. ;-) )


By the way the latest release of xml.php is on sourceforge (I don't have the 
url handy if you don't find it I'll post it to you this evening)

I would call

htmlspecialchars()

before passing anything to PhpXml.  There are some seriously bad bugs in
PhpXml when you try to store marked up text in phpxml using set_content() or
add_content().  Please refer to the release notes of PhpXml 1.N.4 available
at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/phpxmldb for more info.

Version 1.N.4 does not use the $entities array at all, because there seems
to be no logical reason for it to be there.

[phpXML] Re: substringData doesn't work

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

En réponse à pie...@wa...:

Hello Pierre-Henri

I'm learning XML/Xptah so I'm interested by your code.
Why did you choose NOT to use this kind of code :

Here is the XML file:
---------------------
<NewsML>
   <Catalog Href="http://www.afp.com/dtd/AFPCatalog.xml"/>
   <NewsEnvelope>
     <DateAndTime>20010608T133354Z</DateAndTime>
   </NewsEnvelope>
</NewsML>

Here is the code:
-----------------
$xml = new XPath($filepath);
$t = array();

$listofNews = $xml->evaluate("NewsML");

foreach ($listofNews as $news) {

  $t = $xml->getAttributes ("NewsML/Catalog");
  echo $t['Href'];

  echo $xml->getData("NewsML[1]/NewsEnvelope[1]/DateAndTime[1]");

}

[phpXML] substringData doesn't work

[<pie...@wa...>]

Hello,
I need some help with the substringData function, it doesn't return anything.
Am I doing something wrong?

Here is the code:
-----------------
$xml = new XPath($filepath);
$newsidentifier_eval = $xml->evaluate("NewsML/NewsEnvelope/DateAndTime");
echo $newsidentifier_eval[0] . " -- line1\n";
echo $xml->nodeName($newsidentifier_eval[0]) . " -- line2\n";
echo $xml->substringData($newsidentifier_eval[0]) . " -- line3\n";

Result:
-------
/NewsML[1]/NewsEnvelope[1]/DateAndTime[1] -- line1
DateAndTime -- line2
  -- line3

Thanks in advance.

[phpXML] NEWBIE: How to parse an XML string

[<bo...@fi...>]

Hi,
 
Im trying to understand how to use phpxml library
for parsing xml documets.
 
The problem is, I have an xml document that is stored in
database. It is not stored in a file. Im able to
retrive it from db into a string. However I
dont know how to parse that string using phpxml.
 
You have a load_file function that reads a file and
parses the XML data. In my case I need the same thing to be
done, the only problem is I dont have a file with xml
I have a string. So how do I parse a string using your phpxml library?
Note: the xml tags in that string are unknown and can be arbitrary.
I need to parse it into a structure.
 
Regards,
Boulat

Ok thanks.

I keep going back and forth but I always seem to need something that XSLT 
does not provide. So I usually end up back in php.

I ended in emptying this array, every things is ok but until know I read, 
parse files, I don't produce/save them..so perhaps its not the right solution.

I guess that's the power of open source.

I use the php DOM functions to create XML docs (I am still not fully 
convinced that it's the best way but..) and I need something to read those 
document and work on them. Mainly as an alternative to XSLT.

There the same, except for a space at the end of line.
You are looking at CVS diff. CVS default diff also to reconize white spaces as
a difference. No panic :o).

[phpXML] How to get at attributes.

[<ti...@di...>]

Hello everybody.

First of all I want to thank everybody who had a hand in writing this very 
nice object.
I am wondering if there is a shortcut way to handle attributes.

Right now I am calling the attributes function and getting an array but I 
want to use an expression like "//somepath/something/@someattribute"

Is this possible

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');

[phpXML] problem with whitespace

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

The whitespace handling is somewhat "historical" due to the appaling way
that we used to represent the internal text and element nodes.  Now that we
have the <a>1<b>2</b>3</a> bug fixed, we should really get round some time
to reproducing the exact same xml document that we read in.  That would be a
good goal...

[phpXML] Other projects around phpXML...

[<ro...@sp...>]

Hi
    I recently entered the phpXML forum and I would like to know which
projects are there under development that have as base object the phpXML
object. Is anybody working on XSLT? DTD's? Schemas?
    I also made some very simple changes to some functions inside the phpXML
object, so now you can use strings to create the XML object and also get a
string representation in order to be able to save it to a DB. If anyone is
interested in the code, just ask for it
