XML link into a PHP array - php

Question

I'm having trouble getting this page (http://ventrilostatus.net/xml/V98.DARKSTARLLC.COM:3789/) to array into php. I'm not very good with xml and I currently can only get it to display:
Server
Channel
Channel
Channel
(etc)
Could anyone help me get it to show the channel name and the users?
if there are not clients when you look at it it will be:
<client admin="1" cid="994" phan="0" ping="186" sec="56935" name="WHERE USER'S NAME HIS HERE" comm=""/>

Answer 1

U can use the simple_xml functions of PHP to load the xml file into a class.
http://php.net/manual/de/book.simplexml.php
Edit with an example:
// XML example
$xmlContent = '<server name="GuiltyofDestruction" phonetic="God" comment="http://guiltyofdestruction.com" auth="1" maxclients="25" uptime="137600" platform="Linux-i386" version="3.0.6" channelcount="36" clientcount="1" voicecodec="GSM 6.10" voiceformat="44 KHz, 16 bit"><channel cid="0" pid="-1" prot="0" name="Lobby" comm="">
<channel cid="1033" pid="0" prot="1" name="Admin" comm=""/>
<channel cid="1030" pid="0" prot="0" name="AFK Channel" comm="AFK">
<client admin="1" cid="1030" phan="0" ping="182" sec="67575" name="US_ChairForce" comm=""/>
</channel>
</channel>
</server>';
// Loading XML information as object
//$xml = simplexml_load_file('http://ventrilostatus.net/xml/V98.DARKSTARLLC.COM:3789/'); // for files
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlContent); // for strings
foreach($xml->channel->channel as $channel) {
if($channel->client)
echo $channel->client->attributes()->name; // returns "US_ChairForce"
}
I think it's clear now. You have to iterate through every channel and look for clients.

sorry this is the code I updated:
<?PHP
echo "<table width=\"209\" bgcolor=\"#0d0d0d\">";
$xml = simplexml_load_file('http://ventrilostatus.net/xml/V98.DARKSTARLLC.COM:3789/'); // for files
//$xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlContent); // for strings
foreach($xml->channel as $lobby) {
echo "<tr><td>";

}
foreach($xml->channel->channel as $channel) {
