Store XML Data to MySQL - php

Question

I have an XML file. I want to save all the data from the XML file to the database
The file structure of XML is like
<STORY>
<BYLINE>abc</BYLINE>
<STORYID>123456</STORYID>
</STORY>
The code for storing data to database that I am using is
$dom = new DOMDOcument();
$dom->loadXML(equitymarketnews/$zname);
$xpath = new DOMXpath($dom);
$res = $xpath->query("//STORY/");
$allres = array();
foreach($res as $node){
$result = array();
$byline = mysql_real_escape_string($node->getElementsByTagName("BYLINE")->item(0)->nodeValue);
$storyid = mysql_real_escape_string($node->getElementsByTagName("STORYID")->item(0)->nodeValue);
}
$sql12="insert into equitymarketnews values('$byline','$storyid')";
mysql_query($sql12);
I am getting nothing in my database. All values are blanks.
Where am I going wrong?
I think something is wrong with this line
$res = $xpath->query("//STORY/");
i want to story the data ie ABC and 12345 FROm XML File To Table in database

Answer 1

I don't really know what your question is but assuming that the code you posted does not work as you aspect, one thing i noticed is the insertion of the record:
$sql12="insert into equitymarketnews values('$byline','$storyid','$pubdate','$author','$cat','$subcat','$titleline','$subtitleline,'$storymain','$flag')";
mysql_query($sql12);
shouldn't it be inside your foreach loop? Otherwise you won't get anything into your database.
In my opinion it should look something like that:
foreach($res as $node){
$result = array();
$byline = mysql_real_escape_string($node->getElementsByTagName("BYLINE")->item(0)->nodeValue);
$storyid = mysql_real_escape_string($node->getElementsByTagName("STORYID")->item(0)->nodeValue);
$sql12="insert into equitymarketnews values('$byline','$storyid')";
mysql_query($sql12);
}

You can actually use mysql client directly for importing XML data. I do not have much experience to provide you with a code sample, but MySQL docs have quite a bit documentation on it.
Essentially, you can do something like this:
LOAD XML LOCAL INFILE 'address.xml' INTO TABLE quitymarketnews ROWS IDENTIFIED BY '<STORY>';
