i have written two seperate scripts in php. one of them is parsing xml data and the other one is date sorting.
xml parsing
<?php
$date = date ("d.m.Y");
$url = "http://www.cbar.az/currencies/" .$date. ".xml";
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->load($url);
$valyutalar = $doc->getElementsByTagName( "Valute" );
foreach( $valyutalar as $valyuta )
{
$nominal = $valyuta->getElementsByTagName( "Nominal" );
$nom = $nominal->item(0)->nodeValue;
$code = trim($valyuta->getAttribute('Code'));
$value = $valyuta->getElementsByTagName( "Value" );
$val = $value->item(0)->nodeValue;
echo "<b>".$code." - " .$val. "AZN\n</b><br>-----------------------<br>";
}
?>
date
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
$beginning = "25.11.1993";
$ending = date("d.m.Y");
$date = $beginning;
while(strtotime($date) <= strtotime($ending))
{
/* echo "$date<br />"; */
$date = date ("d.m.Y", strtotime("+1 day", strtotime($date)));
}
?>
i want to join thetse two, for parsing the data from 1993 to now. i`m aware of that i have to put the parser in a while loop but have no any idea exactly where to put. can anyone give an archimedean point just to start? -))

Answer 1

If $date is iterating +1 day in your while loop correctly, then:
while(strtotime($date) <= strtotime($ending))
{
/* echo "$date<br />"; */
$date = date ("d.m.Y", strtotime("+1 day", strtotime($date)));
$url = "http://www.cbar.az/currencies/" .$date. ".xml";
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->load($url);
$valyutalar = $doc->getElementsByTagName( "Valute" );
foreach( $valyutalar as $valyuta )
{
$nominal = $valyuta->getElementsByTagName( "Nominal" );
$nom = $nominal->item(0)->nodeValue;
$code = trim($valyuta->getAttribute('Code'));
$value = $valyuta->getElementsByTagName( "Value" );
$val = $value->item(0)->nodeValue;
echo "<b>".$code." - " .$val. "AZN\n</b><br>-----------------------<br>";
}
}$u
?>
so if $date is incrementing, each time the while loop is triggered, it will load your $url with the next iteration of $date
