I want to replace a child node name in the XML through PHP and also want to append the text in the child node as well. Can you please help me to replace the child node name and append text in the same node in PHP?
PHP Code:
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->load('abc.xml');
$thedocument = $doc->documentElement;
$xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);
// Need a code to replace the name of child node "<id>" to "<link>" and append text "abc.com/" in the node <id>
$doc->formatOutput = true;
$result1 = $doc->saveXML();
$doc->save('abc.xml');
XML (Current):
<rss>
<data>
<item>
<id>1122</id>
<title>Test 123</title>
</item>
</data>
</rss>
XML (Needed):
<rss>
<data>
<item>
<link>abc.com/?qs=1122</link>
<title>Test 123</title>
</item>
</data>
</rss>

I load the following XML data into SimpleXML like this:
<?php
$xmlString = <<<'XML'
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<response>
<item key="0">
<title>AH 2308</title>
<field_a>3.00</field_a>
<field_b>7.00</field_b>
<field_d1>35.00</field_d1>
<field_d2>40.00</field_d2>
<field_e></field_e>
<field_g2></field_g2>
<field_g>M 45x1,5</field_g>
<field_gewicht>0.13</field_gewicht>
<field_gtin>4055953012781</field_gtin>
<field_l>40.00</field_l>
<field_t></field_t>
<field_abdrueckmutter>KM 9</field_abdrueckmutter>
<field_sicherung>MB 7</field_sicherung>
<field_wellenmutter>KM 7</field_wellenmutter>
</item>
<item key="1">
<title></title>
<field_a></field_a>
<field_b></field_b>
<field_d1></field_d1>
<field_d2></field_d2>
<field_e></field_e>

<field_sicherung></field_sicherung>
<field_wellenmutter></field_wellenmutter>
</item>
</response>
XML;
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xml);
How can I achieve the following result:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<response>
<item key="0">
<title>AH 2308</title>
<field_a>3.00</field_a>
<field_b>7.00</field_b>
<field_d1>35.00</field_d1>
<field_d2>40.00</field_d2>
<field_e></field_e>
<field_g2></field_g2>
<field_g>M 45x1,5</field_g>
<field_gewicht>0.13</field_gewicht>
<field_gtin>4055953012781</field_gtin>
<field_l>40.00</field_l>
<field_t></field_t>
<field_abdrueckmutter>KM 9</field_abdrueckmutter>
<field_sicherung>MB 7</field_sicherung>
<field_wellenmutter>KM 7</field_wellenmutter>
</item>
<item key="1"></item>
</response>
To delete all empty elements, I could use the following working code:
foreach ($xml->xpath('/child::*//*[not(*) and not(text()[normalize-space()])]') as $emptyElement) {
unset($emptyElement[0]);
}
But that's not exactly what I want.
Basically, when the <title> element is empty, I want to remove it with all its siblings and keep the parent <item> element.
What's important: I also want to keep empty element, if the <title> is not empty. See <item key="0"> for example. The elements <field_e>, <field_g2> and <field_t>will be left untouched.
Is there an easy xpath query which can achieve that? Hope anyone can help. Thanks in advance!
This xpath query is working:
foreach ($xml->xpath('//title[not(text()[normalize-space()])]/following-sibling::*') as $emptyElement) {
unset($emptyElement[0]);
}
It keeps the <title> element but I can live with that.
DOM is more flexible manipulating nodes:
$document = new DOMDocument();
$document->loadXML($xmlString);
$xpath = new DOMXpath($document);
$expression = '/response/item[not(title[normalize-space()])]';
foreach ($xpath->evaluate($expression) as $emptyItem) {
// replace children with an empty text node
$emptyItem->textContent = '';
}
echo $document->saveXML();
i'm trying to remove one item from a xml with all of it's child nodes but when i excecute following php only the child nodes will be removed.
following is my php
<?php
header('Content-Type: text/xml');
$doc = new DOMDocument('1.0');
$url = '../../data/auction.xml';
$itemNo ="0";
$xml=simplexml_load_file($url);
foreach($xml->xpath('/items/item[itemNumber="'.$itemNo.'"]')as $child)
{
unset($child[0]);
//$child->parentNode->removeChild($node);
}
print $xml->asXML();
?>
the original XML
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<items>
<item>
<itemNumber>0</itemNumber>
<itemName>item1</itemName>
<category>Phones</category>
</item>
<item>
<itemNumber>2</itemNumber>
<itemName>item3</itemName>
<category>laptops</category>
</item>
</items>
Actual output
<items>
<item>
</item>
<item>
<itemNumber>2</itemNumber>
<itemName>item3</itemName>
<category>laptops</category>
</item>
</items>
Desired output
<items>
<item>
<itemNumber>2</itemNumber>
<itemName>item3</itemName>
<category>laptops</category>
</item>
</items>
Please tell me what i'm doing wrong
I have two XML files (that have a number of common nodes) that look a bit like these:
DESTINATION FILE: ('destination.xml')
<items>
<item>
<title>Item A</title>
<description>This is the description for Item A</description>
<id>1001</id>
</item>
<item>
<title>Item B</title>
<description>This is the description for Item B</description>
<id>1002</id>
</item>
<item>
<title>Item D</title>
<description>This is the description for Item D</description>
<id>1004</id>
</item>
and
SOURCE FILE: ('source.xml')
<items>
<item>
<title>Item A</title>
<description>This is the description for Item A</description>
<id>1001</id>
</item>
<item>
<title>Item C</title>
<description>This is the description for Item C</description>
<id>1003</id>
</item>
<item>
<title>Item B</title>
<description>This is the description for Item B</description>
<id>1002</id>
</item>
I need to grab the node from SOURCE with the 'id' matching '1003' (in this example) and import it into the DESTINATION. I'm looking for insight in using importNode (or a simpleXML option) and also the xpath in only getting only the node I need.
Just do that and it should work :
<?php
header('Content-type: application/xml'); //Just to test in the browser directly and have a good format
$docSource = new DOMDocument();
$docSource->loadXML(file_get_contents('source.xml'));
$docDest = new DOMDocument();
$docDest->loadXML(file_get_contents('destination.xml'));
$xpath = new DOMXPath($docSource);
$result = $xpath->query('//item[id=1003]')->item(0); //Get directly the node you want
$result = $docDest->importNode($result, true); //Copy the node to the other document
$items = $docDest->getElementsByTagName('items')->item(0);
$items->appendChild($result); //Add the copied node to the destination document
echo $docDest->saveXML();
To get the correct node, I think your XPath should look like this:
$xpath->query('/items/item/id[.="1003"]/..')
To import it to the other document, you'll need to create the document and call importNode with the second parameter set to true:
$newDom = new DOMDocument;
$newDom->load('destination.xml');
$newNode = $newDom->importNode($el, true);
$newDom->firstChild->appendChild($newNode);
file_put_contents('destination.xml', $newDom->saveXML());
I am completely new to DOM Documents, basically what I am trying to do, is to load a RSS feed in and select only one node, and then save it to a XML file.
Here is the XML I am loading from a web feed:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>Markets</title>
<description/>
<link>http://www.website.com</link>
<language>en-us</language>

<item>
<title>title</title>
<description>the description goes here
</description>
<enclosure url="http://www.website.com/images/image.png" type="image/png"/>
</item>
</channel>
</rss>
Here is my lame attempt at getting the <description> node and saving it to feed.xml:
<?php
$feed = new DOMDocument();
$feed->load('http://www.website.com/directory/directory/cz.c');
$nodeValue = $feed->getElementsByTagName('description')->item(0)->nodeValue;
$feed->save("feed.xml");
?>
So basically I need to get the description tag, and save it as a XML file.
Any help would be appreciated, thanx in advance!
Almost correct. To get the "outerXml" of a node, you can pass the node to saveXml()
$feed = new DOMDocument();
$feed->load('http://www.website.com/directory/directory/cz.c');
$xml = $feed->saveXml($feed->getElementsByTagName('description')->item(0));
file_put_contents("feed.xml", $xml);
Saving with file_put_contents will not include an XML prolog. Note that in your example, the first description element is empty, so the file will contain <description/>.
If you want to extract the node as standalone XML Document, you have to instantiate a new DOMDocument and import the DOMNode and then use save().
$dom = new DOMDocument($feed->xmlVersion, $feed->xmlEncoding);
$dom->appendChild(
$dom->importNode(
$feed->getElementsByTagName('description')->item(0),
TRUE
)
);
echo $dom->save('new.xml');
$feed = simplexml_load_file('feed.xml');
$descr=$feed->channel->description;
Try this
I have an xml document with the following structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<items>
<item>
<id>1</id>
<url>www.test.com</url>
</item>
<item>
<id>2</id>
<url>www.test2.com</url>
</item>
</items>
I would like to be able to search for a node value, such as the value of 1 for the id field. Then, once that node is found, select the parent node, which would be < item > and insert a new child within.
I know the concept of using dom document, but not sure how to do it in this instance.
This should be a start:
$dom = new DOMDocument;
$dom->loadXML($input);
$ids = $dom->getElementsByTagName('id');
foreach ($ids as $id) {
if ($id->nodeValue == '1') {
$child = $dom->createElement('tagname');
$child->appendChild($dom->createTextNode('some text'));
$id->parentNode->appendChild($child);
}
}
$xml = $dom->saveXML();
or something close to it.
You can do the same thing in a simpler way. Instead of looking for an <id/> node whose value is 1 then selecting its parent, you can reverse the relation and look for any node which has an <id/> child whose value is 1.
You can do that very easily in XPath, and here's how to do it in SimpleXML:
$items = simplexml_load_string(
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<items>
<item>
<id>1</id>
<url>www.test.com</url>
</item>
<item>
<id>2</id>
<url>www.test2.com</url>
</item>
</items>'
);
$nodes = $items->xpath('*[id = "1"]');
$nodes[0]->addChild('new', 'value');
echo $items->asXML();
