note 79317 added to function.simplexml-element-children

Hi, Anyone who can tell me how to parse an xml tag that contains both text and childs. e.g. ...<sql>select * from table;<conv>default.php</conv><sql>... The only way I could extract the text (select...) was with the following snippet foreach($xml->children() as $k => $v ) { $elem = count($v); $xmla = (array) $xml[0]; if (is_string($xmla["$k"]) and $elem) { // $xmla["$k"] is 'select * from table' } ...} which is not very pretty. Convert the child xml object to an array and check if the child is a string and not an end node. It's un ugly hack, but it does the job. ---- Server IP: 129.16.214.50 Probable Submitter: 212.75.80.254 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-element-children.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/79317 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79317/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79317/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79317/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79317/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79317/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79317/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79317 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/79317 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
