I wrote a simple xml parser mainly to deal with rss version 2. I found lots of examples on the net,
but they were all masive and bloated and hard to manipulate.
Output is sent to an array, which holds arrays containg data for each item.
Obviously, you will have to make modifications to the code to suit your needs, but there isnt a lot
of code there, so that shouldnt be a problem.
<?php
$currentElements = array();
$newsArray = array();
readXml("./news.xml");
echo("<pre>");
print_r($newsArray);
echo("</pre>");
// Reads XML file into formatted html
function readXML($xmlFile)
{
$xmlParser = xml_parser_create();
xml_parser_set_option($xmlParser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, false);
xml_set_element_handler($xmlParser, startElement, endElement);
xml_set_character_data_handler($xmlParser, characterData);
$fp = fopen($xmlFile, "r");
while($data = fread($fp, filesize($xmlFile))){
xml_parse($xmlParser, $data, feof($fp));}
xml_parser_free($xmlParser);
}
// Sets the current XML element, and pushes itself onto the element hierarchy
function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs)
{
global $currentElements, $itemCount;
array_push($currentElements, $name);
if($name == "item"){$itemCount += 1;}
}
// Prints XML data; finds highlights and links
function characterData($parser, $data)
{
global $currentElements, $newsArray, $itemCount;
$currentCount = count($currentElements);
$parentElement = $currentElements[$currentCount-2];
$thisElement = $currentElements[$currentCount-1];
if($parentElement == "item"){
$newsArray[$itemCount-1][$thisElement] = $data;}
else{
switch($name){
case "title":
break;
case "link":
break;
case "description":
break;
case "language":
break;
case "item":
break;}}
}
// If the XML element has ended, it is poped off the hierarchy
function endElement($parser, $name)
{
global $currentElements;
$currentCount = count($currentElements);
if($currentElements[$currentCount-1] == $name){
array_pop($currentElements);}
}
?>
