note 96494 added to simplexmlelement.getDocNamespaces

I needed to parse RSS from Google maps. The essential thing was to get the coordinates of the points on the map. Because Google are using namespaces, I will show you how to use SimpleXML with namespaces. So we have map.xml with this content: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rss version="2.0" xmlns:georss="http://www.georss.org/georss" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"> <channel> <link>http://maps.google.com</link> <title>My points on map</title> <description><![CDATA[Description: My points on the map are so cool :) ]]></description> <item> <guid isPermaLink="false">00047fcda8f1020668126</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 17 Feb 2010 15:39:46 +0000</pubDate> <title>My first point</title> <description><![CDATA[<div dir="ltr">5, Saint Sofia Street</div>]]></description> <author>me</author> <georss:point> 42.696480 23.319941 </georss:point> <georss:elev>0.000000</georss:elev> </item> <item> <guid isPermaLink="false">00047fcd5905cbd8cc0c3</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 17 Feb 2010 15:17:25 +0000</pubDate> <title>My second point</title> <description><![CDATA[<div dir="ltr">12-14, Bulgaria bul.</div>]]></description> <author>me</author> <georss:point> 42.678051 23.299726 </georss:point> <georss:elev>0.000000</georss:elev> </item> </channel> </rss> And how we parse this file: <?php $feed = file_get_contents("map.xml"); $xml = new SimpleXmlElement($feed); foreach ($xml->channel->item as $entry){ echo $entry->title.'<br />'; echo strip_tags($entry->description).'<br />'; //Use namespaces $namespaces = $entry->getNameSpaces(true); //Get the name space that we need $georss = $entry->children($namespaces['georss']); //print the namspace items echo $georss->point.'<br />'; echo $georss->elev.'<br /><br />'; } ?> Enjoy! ---- Server IP: 89.190.194.18 Probable Submitter: 212.73.140.219 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/simplexmlelement.getDocNamespaces.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/96494 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96494/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96494/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96494/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96494/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96494/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96494/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96494 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/96494 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
