Changing DOM code so it works with PHP5

[CiaNZ]

Hi, can anyone show me the best way to make this code compatible with DOM in PHP5. The error seems to stem from domxml_xmltree. It worked with PHP4, and i've been trying (with no success) to get it working with PHP5. I even tried a compatiblity wrapper which did nothing. Cheers

<?
$file = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/include/regex.xml";
if (!($fp = fopen($file, "r")))
{
   die("could not open XML input");
}
$data = fread($fp, filesize($file));
fclose($fp);

$aXMLParams = array();

$oTmp = domxml_xmltree($data);

$aSections = $oTmp->children[0]->children;


foreach ($aSections as $k=>$v)
{
	if($v->type == 1)
	{
		$aXMLParams[$v->attributes[0]->value] = array();
		$aItems = $v->children;
		foreach ($aItems as $kk=>$vv)
		{
			if($vv->type == 1)
			{
				$aItemProps = $vv->children;
				foreach ($aItemProps as $kkk=>$vvv)
				{
					if($vvv->type == 1)
					{
						if ($vvv->tagname == "name")
						{
							$name = $vvv->children[0]->content;
						}
						else
						{
							$aNewItemProps[$vvv->tagname] = $vvv->children[0]->content;
						}
					}
				}
				$aXMLParams[$v->attributes[0]->value][$name] = $aNewItemProps;
			}
		}
	}
}
?>

You've got two options.

Convert to DOM http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.dom.php

Convert to SimpleXML http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.simplexml.php

domxml_xmltree does not exist in PHP5.

I'll try to work out some code examples base on your code. Hopefully that will get you started.

Post an example of regex.xml if you can.

It is hard for me to understand what is going on in your code after you've got the $aSections variable. Hopefully the code below will at least get you started.

$file = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/include/regex.xml";

$xml = file_exists($file) ? simplexml_load_file($file) : false;

if ( $xml ) {

    $aSections = $xml->children();

} else {
    // NO XML
}

Thanks for the help Jason, i'll give that a shot as soon as I get home. I'm a bit of a PHP newbie and had this system programmed for me years ago. It's been sitting around ever since. Here's a snippet of the regex file:

<section name="FetchUserInfo">
  <item>
    <name>
      <![CDATA[UpdateId&Nick]]>
    </name>
    <comment>
      <![CDATA[UpdateId&Nick
        
        Update TradeMe id & nick
        match groups:
        1 - user ID
        2 - user nickname]]>
