This is XML file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<UW xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/XMLSchema.xsd">
<UWdata>
<List>
<IdProduct>1</IdProduct>
<ProductName>product</ProductName>
<ProductNameDE>product</ProductNameDE>
<ProductNameEN>product</ProductNameEN>
<Uf>1</Uf>
<PSIg>1</PSIg>
<Ug>1</Ug>
</List>
</UWdata>
</UW>
$lines_array=file($url);
$lines_string=implode('',$lines_array);
$xml=simplexml_load_string($lines_string) or die("Error: Cannot create object");
I try with this
echo $xml->UWdata[1]->ProductName;
But it doesn't return anything.I want to return Product name.
Sample code, Use simplexml_load_string
<?php
$a = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<UW xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/XMLSchema.xsd">
<UWdata>
<List>
<IdProduct>1</IdProduct>
<ProductName>product</ProductName>
<ProductNameDE>product</ProductNameDE>
<ProductNameEN>product</ProductNameEN>
<Uf>1</Uf>
<PSIg>1</PSIg>
<Ug>1</Ug>
</List>
</UWdata>
</UW>';
$xml=simplexml_load_string($a) or die("Error: Cannot create object");
echo ($xml->UWdata->List->ProductName);
?>
When you load the xml file using the php simplexml_load_file function to a variable. The veritable becomes an object.
<?php
$xml=simplexml_load_file("/path/to/the/file.xml");
?>
So, in your case, the $xml variable becomes a multi-level object where every elements of xml file are key of the object. Like: UWdata.
So, as $xml is a multi-level object, to access the element under UWdata, under List under ProductName, you have to code like bellow.
echo $xml->UWdata->List->ProductName."<br>";
Here,
UWdata is the key of $xml object.
List is the key of UWdata.
ProductName is the key of List.
Finally, you will get the value of key element ProductName = product
I modified your script and put the xml in an external file called testxml.xml, as it should be. Always separate the function and the data it's supposed to handle. I used your xml like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<UW xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/XMLSchema.xsd">
<UWdata>
<List>
<IdProduct>1</IdProduct>
<ProductName>productTEST</ProductName>
<ProductNameDE>product</ProductNameDE>
<ProductNameEN>product</ProductNameEN>
<Uf>1</Uf>
<PSIg>1</PSIg>
<Ug>1</Ug>
</List>
</UWdata>
</UW>
And with the following script it returns productTEST only.
$xmlstr = file_get_contents('./testxml.xml');
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlstr);
$json = json_encode($xml);
$array = json_decode($json,TRUE);
echo $array['UWdata']['List']['ProductName'];
Hope this helps.
//edit:
While I do not know your project, you might want to take a foreach-approach if it is possible for your xml to contain more than one List element

I'd like to get the content of the attribute xsi:schemaLocation. It's works perfectly with getElementsByTagName in php (and foreach after) but it's ugly, right ?
How to get the same content with a simple Xpath query ?
Here a short example of the xml content :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<gpx xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" version="1.0" creator="blabla" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0/gpx.xsd http://www.groundspeak.com/cache/1/0/1 http://www.groundspeak.com/cache/1/0/1/cache.xsd" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0">
...
</gpx>
Thanks!
Typically you need to register the namespaces you want to use with the XPath library first. Then you can query the attribute by including namespace prefix along with the name.
So let's assume you're using DOMXPath, you might register the following namespaces:
$xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);
$xpath->registerNamespace("xsi","http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance");
$xpath->registerNamespace("gpx", "http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0");
And then you can query the schemaLocation attribute with something like this:
$xpath->query("/gpx:gpx/#xsi:schemaLocation",$doc);
Using the SimpleXMLElement class you can easily get the attribute xsi:schemaLocation's value:
<?php
$xml = <<<XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<gpx xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" version="1.0" creator="blabla" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0/gpx.xsd http://www.groundspeak.com/cache/1/0/1 http://www.groundspeak.com/cache/1/0/1/cache.xsd" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0">
</gpx>
XML;
$sxe = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);
$schemaLocation = $sxe->attributes('xsi', true)->schemaLocation;
echo (string) $schemaLocation;
I want to create an XML with the following structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<content>
<!-- content goes here -->
</content>
I originally created the xml node like this:
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<xml/>');
$content = $xml->addChild('content');
// add data to content
but that doesn't allow for adding attributes to the xml node, so now I do this:
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'
.'<content></content>');
For some reason it doesn't work without adding the content node, but whatever, it gets the structure right.
Now, how do I assign the content node to a variable like I did above, so I can add data to it?
In your case the $xml variable is equal to the content node just try the following:
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'
.'<content></content>');
$xml->addAttribute('Attribute', 'value');
$xml->addChild('node_name', 'value');
echo $xml->asXML();
this should print
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<content Attribute="value"><node_name>value</node_name></content>
E.g.
<?php
$content = new SimpleXMLElement('<content />');
$content['attr']='value';
echo $content->asXML();
prints
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<content attr="value"/>
--- edit:
To keep the encoding=utf-8:
$content = new SimpleXMLElement('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<content />');
An XML document must have at least one element. That is the document element. In your question this is the content element.
You can create a SimpleXMLElement of it by just instantiating it with this minimum string:
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<content/>');
The variable $xml then represents that element. You can then...
... add attributes: $xml['attribute'] = 'value';
... set the content-text: $xml[0] = 'text';
... add child-elements: $xml->child = 'value';
This exemplary line-up then would have created the following XML (beautified, also: online demo):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<content attribute="value">
text
<child>value</child>
</content>
I'm building xml with the SimpleXMLElement Object from PHP.
While doing so I encountered the following problem, which i can't solve:
I'm generating the root xml element like this:
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?>");
But i get a 2 XML headers when i do echo $xml->asXML(); like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"></xml>
Which is obvioulsy wrong. But how can i fix this so i only get the
<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">
part?
You must also supply the surrounding tag.
For example:
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <BASETAG />');
I've been trying to get the id field to pull and have no idea where I'm going wrong. The rest of the data pulls correctly but I'm trying to add something new to some existing code and everything I've tried hasn't worked. Below is my XML and the PHP code I've been working off of.
I haven't worked with a combo of xml and php before so I could really use a push in the right direction.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<enterprise>
<person>
<sourcedid>
<source>Spirit Awards</source>
<id>SP8675309</id>
</sourcedid>
<userid>...</userid>
<name>
<fn>...</fn>
</name>
<email>...</email>
</person>
PHP code:
function get_userid(){
return $this->uid;
}
function __construct($xmlData){
$this->uid = (string)$xmlData->id;
}
SimpleXMLdocs makes this ... well ... simple. The XML you've posted is missing a closing </enterprise> tag. Assuming the XML you're actually parsing includes the closing tag, consider:
$str = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<enterprise>
<person>
<sourcedid>
<source>Spirit Awards</source>
<id>SP8675309</id>
</sourcedid>
<userid>...</userid>
<name>
<fn>...</fn>
</name>
<email>...</email>
</person>
</enterprise>
';
$xml = simplexml_load_string($str);
$var = (string) $xml->person->sourcedid->id;
echo $var; // outputs: SP8675309
I have a php variable that contains xml code. I would like to get only one value from that xml and go along.
The xml is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <response> <status>SUCCESS</status> <data><count>1</count> <subscriberlist> <item> <subscriberid>4</subscriberid> <emailaddress>bbbbbb#bbbbbb.bb</emailaddress> <format>h</format> <subscribedate>1314903006</subscribedate> <confirmed>1</confirmed> <unsubscribed>0</unsubscribed> <bounced>0</bounced> <listid>3</listid> </item> </subscriberlist></data></response>
I would like to create the var $subscriberid and get the value (in this case 4)
Can someone explain me?
This doc on php.net will tell you how: http://php.net/manual/en/simplexml.examples-basic.php
For the following xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<response>
<status>SUCCESS</status>
<data>
<count>1</count>
<subscriberlist>
<item>
<subscriberid>4</subscriberid>
<emailaddress>bbbbbb#bbbbbb.bb</emailaddress>
<format>h</format>
<subscribedate>1314903006</subscribedate>
<confirmed>1</confirmed>
<unsubscribed>0</unsubscribed>
<bounced>0</bounced>
<listid>3</listid>
</item>
</subscriberlist>
</data>
</response>
If the xml was inside of $xmlstr then to get the subscriberid you would need the following php code:
<?php
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);
$subscriberid = $xml->data->subscriberlist->item->subscriberid;
?>
You can use simplexml_load_string then parse the data
<?php
$xml = simplexml_load_string('<?xml vers...');
$subscriberid = $xml->data->subscriberlist->item->subscriberid;
?>
