note 88457 added to book.simplexml

To add to what others have said, you can't directly put a $_GET or $_POST value into a variable then into an attribute using SimpleXML. You must first convert it to an integer. This will NOT work <?php $page_id = $_GET['id']; echo $xml->page[$page_id] ?> You will get something like: Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/mysite/index.php on line 10 However, this WILL work and is much simpler then using (string) or other methods. <?php $page_id = intval($_GET['id']); echo $xml->page[$page_id] ?> ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 70.58.196.7 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.simplexml.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/88457 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88457/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88457/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88457/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88457/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88457/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88457/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88457 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/88457 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
