note 45066 added to ref.xslt

If you're wrangling with a plist in Mac OS X: here a bit of code to convert the plist into xml using xslt and then accessing it using simplexml. This was modified from http://www.xmldatabases.org/WK/blog/1086?t=item . Please do post improvements. This has been tested against iPhoto's AlbumData as well as iTunes' data. Enjoy! <?php $xsl = new DomDocument(); $xsl->load("plistConvert.xsl"); $inputdom = new DomDocument(); $inputdom->load("iTunes Music Library.xml"); $proc = new XsltProcessor(); $proc->registerPhpFunctions(); $xsl = $proc->importStylesheet($xsl); $newdom = $proc->transformToDoc($inputdom); $sxe = simplexml_import_dom($newdom); print('<pre>'); print_r($sxe->dict); print('</pre>'); ?> Here's the plistConvert.sxl file: <?xml version='1.0'?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl ="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match="/plist"> <propertylist> <xsl:apply-templates/> </propertylist> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="dict"> <dict> <xsl:for-each select="key"> <xsl:variable name='n1' select='translate(., " ", "_")'/> <xsl:variable name='pName'> <xsl:choose> <!-- Need to do this because number tags like <0> are not valid?! --> <xsl:when test='contains("0123456789", substring($n1, 1, 1))'> <xsl:value-of select='concat("number_", $n1)'/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select='$n1'/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:variable> <xsl:element name="{$pName}"> <xsl:for-each select='following-sibling::*[1]'> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test='name() = "dict"'> <xsl:apply-templates select='.'/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test='name() = "array"'> <xsl:attribute name="array">collection</xsl:attribute> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test='name() = "string"'> <xsl:value-of select='.'/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test='name() = "integer"'> <!-- <xsl:attribute name="type">integer</xsl:attribute> --> <xsl:value-of select='.'/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test='name() = "date"'> <!-- <xsl:attribute name="type">date</xsl:attribute> --> <xsl:value-of select='.'/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test='name() = "true"'>True</xsl:when> <xsl:when test='name() = "false"'>False</xsl:when> <xsl:when test='name() = "real"'> <xsl:value-of select='.'/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test='name() = "data"'> <xsl:value-of select='.'/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:message>pListConverter: <xsl:value-of select='name()'/> not implemented! </xsl:message> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:element> </xsl:for-each> </dict> </xsl:template> <!-- don't pass text thru --> <xsl:template match="text()|@*"> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xslt.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+45066 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+45066&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+45066&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
