Need help....

[kenshn111]

I'm thinking of something and wonder if it exists...
Making an info.xml > use a script to get the info > display it on a site or something....
like...
inside the info.xml
(separated by commas)
|rank|name|datereg|image|
#00001,Maaku,05/11/2010,http://www.google.com/images/srpr/nav_logo13.png
----
and the script would like.. get all the information....
<image><name>
<rank><datereg>

is it possible to do something like that?

[traq]

of course.
There have been a rash of threads on the forums regarding xml; look through some of them. If you're using ph
p, I'd recommend starting here.

Do you have a good grasp on xml yet? For example, your example above would be something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding='UTF-8'?>
<xmlroot>
   <record>
      <id>0001</id>
      <name>Maaku</name>
      <datereg>05-10-2010</datereg>
      <image>http://www.google.com/images/srpr/nav_logo13.png</image>
   </record>
   <record>
      ...more records, etc...
   </record>
</xmlroot>

Oh, I forgot to add, is that possible doing in Javascript, I googled it up and found some but for some reason it doesn't work in Mozilla Firefox D:
and I also found XML parsing using PHP (output xml using php)
but there's always an error D:

I'm sure it can be, but that's not my expertise. Maybe you could find some help in the javascript forum.

Not always . What sort of errors are you getting?

[djr33]

Regarding Javascript, it may be possible, but it would be less reliable and almost inevitably harder to setup. PHP is designed for this kind of thing; Javascript is definitely not.

[kenshn111]

If possible, can someone code it for me?

[djr33]

Try google to see what you find. I think it would be a lot of work to code. It's not something I can do (but my specialty isn't Javascript).
You could look for paid help if you can't find someone to do it for free.

[kenshn111]

Oh.. okay I'll look harder this time(for some reason, I can't find what I've found yesterday! D: )

[traq]

I can do this for you (via php), but not for free. Please contact me here if you're interested.

If you'd like to try it yourself, post what you have and we'd be happy to help you figure it out.

Oh.. okay I'll look harder this time(for some reason, I can't find what I've found yesterday! D: )

look in your browser history

So.... I tried something...

XML

<books>
<book>
<author>Jack Herrington</author>
<title>PHP Hacks</title>
<publisher>O'Reilly</publisher>
</book>
<book>
<author>Jack Herrington</author>
<title>Podcasting Hacks</title>
<publisher>O'Reilly</publisher>
</book>
</books>

PHP

  <?php
  $doc = new DOMDocument();
  $doc->load( 'abc.xml' );
  
  $books = $doc->getElementsByTagName( "book" );
  foreach( $books as $book )
  {
  $authors = $book->getElementsByTagName( "author" );
  $author = $authors->item(0)->nodeValue;
  
  $publishers = $book->getElementsByTagName( "publisher" );
  $publisher = $publishers->item(0)->nodeValue;
  
  $titles = $book->getElementsByTagName( "title" );
  $title = $titles->item(0)->nodeValue;
  
  echo "$title - $author - $publisher\n";
  }
  ?>

And I get this error : Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /~/www/transparent.agilityhoster.com/test.php on line 9
