I want to add Data2 as a child of Request, but instead it gets added as a child of Data.
class xml{
public function __construct(){
$this->request_xml = new SimpleXMLElement("<Request></Request>");
$this->request_xml->addAttribute('RequestType', "1");
$this->request_xml->addChild("Data");
$this->request_xml->addChild("Data2");
var_dump($this->request_xml->asXml());
}
}
$object = new xml();
the result is:
<request>
<data>
<data2></data2>
</data>
</request>
I want
<request>
<data></data>
<data2></data2>
</request>
What am I missing?
Thanks!
The XML output is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Request RequestType="1"><Data/><Data2/></Request>
In other words the Data and Data2 elements are siblings, but short empty tags. If the browser loads it as HTML it will try to repair the missing closing tags. This will not happen if it is parsed as XML. Make sure that you send the correct content type header:
header('Content-type: application/xml; charset=utf-8');
If you import the SimpleXMLElements into DOM (or better generate the document using DOM in the first place) you get a more options for saving the XML.
$element = dom_import_simplexml($request_xml);
echo $element->ownerDocument->saveXml(NULL, LIBXML_NOEMPTYTAG);
Output:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Request RequestType="1"><Data></Data><Data2></Data2></Request>

Hy guys this is my simple code:
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<p:FatturazioneElettronica xmlns:p="http://microsoft.com/wsdl/types/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://dummy.com"/>');
$xml->addAttribute("versione","FPR12");
$FatturaElettronicaHeader = $xml->addChild('FatturaElettronicaHeader',null,'http://dummy.com');
the xml results is:
<p:FatturazioneElettronica xmlns:p="http://microsoft.com/wsdl/types/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://dummy.com" versione="FPR12">
<FatturaElettronicaHeader>
<DatiTrasmissione>
....
How can add at the top of my xml "xml-stylesheet"?
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="fatturapa_v1.2.xsl" ?>
SimpleXML isn't very good at doing anything other than simple things (think that's were the name is very apt). The only way I can think of doing it is to use DOMDocument, which provides a richer API and you should be able to do it as follows...
$xmlD = new DOMDocument( "1.0", "ISO-8859-15" );
$xmlD->appendChild($xmlD->createProcessingInstruction('xml-stylesheet', 'type="text/xsl" href="fatturapa_v1.2.xsl"'));
$xmlD->appendChild($xmlD->importNode(dom_import_simplexml($xml)));
echo $xmlD->saveXML();
This creates a new DOMDocument instance and then adds a few things. First it uses createProcessingInstruction() to add the processing instruction for the style sheet. Then it imports the existing contents of your SimpleXML document (in $xml) and appends this to the end. The echo should give you a document something like...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-15"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="fatturapa_v1.2.xsl"?>
<p:FatturazioneElettronica xmlns:p="http://microsoft.com/wsdl/types/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://dummy.com" versione="FPR12"/>
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
The problem i was having is the Root XML was being produced every time it writes to the XML.
The Main issue was setting up Child and Defining the Root. From the help of Łza
I now understand the Root XML Node is ignored.
So then you setup and create a Child and then add your content, And example of the correct format is.
$xml = simplexml_load_file('FILENAME.xml'); // Load XML File Need to add IF Statment to create if does not exist
$result = $xml->addchild('Result'); // Ignore Root NODE and Add Child Results
$result->addChild('Time', gmdate('D-M-Y -H:i:s')); // Rest of the below adds Child to Result and outputs results
$result->addChild('Channel', $Site);
$result->addChild('Type', '**');
$result->addChild('Process', $Status);
$result->addChild('SKU', $code->SKU);
$result->addChild('item', $item);
$result->addChild('Status', '$Feedback');
$result->addChild('ErrorID', '$Error');
$result->addChild('Message', '$Message');
$xml->asXml('FILENAME.xml'); //Write to file would be
// All of the above Code is using variables from another part of the script
The output would be
<Root>
<Result>
<Time>Fri-May-2013 -09:15:22</Time>
<Channel>20</Channel>
<Type>**</Type>
<Process>Update</Process>
<SKU>98746524765</SKU>
<Item/>
<Status>Problem</Status>
<ErrorID>999-Error</ErrorID>
<Message>Unknown file format support</Message>
</Result>
<Result>
<Time>Fri-May-2013 -09:15:22</Time>
<Channel>20</Channel>
<Type>**</Type>
<Process>Update</Process>
<SKU>5412254785</SKU>
<Item/>
<Status>Problem</Status>
<ErrorID>123-Error</ErrorID>
<Message>Invalid Item</Message>
</Result>
</Root>
Thanks
Try to use SimpleXMLElement library instead hardcoded xml creation. This is maybe more complicate to use at the begining, but much more safe (I mean avoid possible errors in xml structure when you hardcode the xml) and easy to use when you just get start to use it.
And easy to add/remove nodes, childnodes.
This is an example for your code:
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<xml/>');
$data = $xml->addChild('data');
$result = $data->addChild('Result');
$result->addChild('Time', gmdate('D-M-Y -H:i:s'));
$result->addChild('Channel', $SiteID);
// ... and the same way create all your xml nodes.
// if you want add next <result> node witch all elements repeat the code, (or put it in loop if you want more <result> elements):
$result = $data->addChild('Result');
$result->addChild('Time', gmdate('D-M-Y -H:i:s'));
$result->addChild('Channel', $SiteID);
// and after create all nodes save the file:
$xml->asXml('DHError.xml');
above code will create xml:
<xml>
<data>
<Result>
<Time>Fri-May-2013 -12:14:39</Time>
<Channel>data</Channel>
</Result>
<Result>
<Time>Fri-May-2013 -12:14:39</Time>
<Channel>data</Channel>
</Result>
</data>
</xml>
Thats it. Then if you need to load and process the xml it would be easy:
To load the File simply use:
$xml2 = simplexml_load_file('DHError.xml');
// to add new node <Result>:
$resultNext = $xml2->data->addchild('Result');
$resultNext->addChild('Time', gmdate('D-M-Y -H:i:s'));
$resultNext->addChild('Channel', $SiteID);
//and save file
$xml2->asXml('DHError.xml');
this create a xml:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xml>
<data>
<Result>
<Time>Fri-May-2013 -12:27:24</Time>
<Channel>data</Channel>
</Result>
<Result>
<Time>Fri-May-2013 -12:27:24</Time>
<Channel>data</Channel>
</Result>
<Result>
<Time>Fri-May-2013 -12:27:24</Time>
<Channel>data</Channel>
</Result>
</data>
</xml>
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 was tesing with a simple example of how to display XML in browser using PHP and found this example which works good
<?php
$xml = new DOMDocument("1.0");
$root = $xml->createElement("data");
$xml->appendChild($root);
$id = $xml->createElement("id");
$idText = $xml->createTextNode('1');
$id->appendChild($idText);
$title = $xml->createElement("title");
$titleText = $xml->createTextNode('Valid');
$title->appendChild($titleText);
$book = $xml->createElement("book");
$book->appendChild($id);
$book->appendChild($title);
$root->appendChild($book);
$xml->formatOutput = true;
echo "<xmp>". $xml->saveXML() ."</xmp>";
$xml->save("mybooks.xml") or die("Error");
?>
It produces the following output:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<data>
<book>
<id>1</id>
<title>Valid</title>
</book>
</data>
Now I have got two questions regarding how the output should look like.
The first line in the xml file '', should not be displayed, that is it should be hidden
How can I display the TextNode in the next line. In total I am exepecting an output in this fashion
<data>
<book>
<id>1</id>
<title>
Valid
</title>
</book>
</data>
Is that possible to get the desired output, if so how can I accomplish that.
Thanks
To skip the XML declaration you can use the result of saveXML on the root node:
$xml_content = $xml->saveXML($root);
file_put_contents("mybooks.xml", $xml_content) or die("cannot save XML");
Please note that saveXML(node) has a different output from saveXML().
First question:
here is my post where all usable threads with answers are listed: How do you exclude the XML prolog from output?
Second question:
I don't know of any PHP function that outputs text nodes like that.
You could:
read xml using DomDocument and save each node as string
iterate trough nodes
detect text nodes and add new lines to xml string manually
At the end you would have the same XML with text node values in new line:
<node>
some text data
</node>
