loading a xml file instead of download - php

Question

Hey guys I have stored few xml files in database and want to get them for xslt transformation. But I am unable to load it for transformation, they get downloaded to PC. I want to process it instead of download.
here is my code: I am accessing the file with its id.
// Fetch the file information
$query = "
SELECT `pname`,`pdata`
FROM `plist`
WHERE `pid` = {$id}";
$result = $dbLink->query($query);
if ($result) {
// Make sure the result is valid
if ($result->num_rows == 1) {
// Get the row
$row = mysqli_fetch_row($result);
echo "$row[0]";
header("Content-Type:text/xml");
header("Content-Disposition: inline");
echo $row['pdata'];
}
mysqli_free_result($result);
---missing something here to get file data--
until now it gets downloaded but i want to continue the transformation
$xml = new DOMDocument;
$xml->load(what goes here??);
$xsl = new DOMDocument;
$xsl->load('file.xslt');
//etc
any help appreciated.

Answer 1

If you have a string with the XML then you can use $xml->loadXML($row['pdata']) I think to parse the XML.

Working solution that i found later enjoy..:)
<?php
if (isset($_GET['id'])) {
// Get the id
$id = intval($_GET['id']);
// Make sure the name is in fact a valid
if ($id <= 0) {
die('The id is invalid!');
} else {
// Connect to the database
include 'config.php';
}
// Fetch the file information
$query = "select id, name, data from data_table where id ={$id};";
$resultx = $mysqli->query($query) or die($mysqli->error . __LINE__);
$arr = array();
if ($resultx->num_rows > 0) {
while ($row = $resultx->fetch_assoc()) {
$arr[] = $row['tdata'];
}
}
$string = implode(",", $arr);
// Load XML file
$xml = new DOMDocument; // create new document
$xml->loadXML($string); // load string to it
