I have a small requirement where I need to create a XML file on the fly. It was no problem for me to create a normal xml file which would be looking like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<item>
<name></name>
</item>
</root>
But my requirement is such that I need to create a XML file whose output is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<item>
<name url = "C:\htdocs\proj1\source_file1"/>
<name url = "C:\htdocs\proj1\source_file2"/>
<name url = "C:\htdocs\proj1\source_file3"/>
</item>
</root>
I have tried in this fashion:
<?php
$domtree = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
$domtree->formatOutput = true;
$xmlRoot = $domtree->createElement("root");
$xmlRoot = $domtree->appendChild($xmlRoot);
$item = $domtree->createElement("item");
$item = $xmlRoot->appendChild($item);
$name= $domtree->createElement("name");
$name = $item->appendChild($name);
$sav_xml = $domtree->saveXML();
$handle = fopen("new.xml", "w");
fwrite($handle, $sav_xml);
fclose($handle);
?>
But I wanted to append/add the url="path" to my elements. I have tried declaring variables with url and path but this throws me errors like:
Uncaught exception 'DOMException' with message 'Invalid Character Error'
Any ideas how to approach this problem!
Thanks
You just have to declare that attributes via php DOM:
...
$name= $domtree->createElement("name");
$urlAttribute = $domtree->createAttribute('url');
$urlAttribute->value = 'C:\htdocs\proj1\source_file1';
$name->appendChild($urlAttribute);
$item->appendChild($name);
...

I am trying to parse XML with PHP. The XML is a response from ebay getsellerlist api, and is structured like so:
<!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?-->
<getsellerlistresponse xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
<timestamp>2016-08-11T14:17:39.869Z</timestamp>
<ack>Success</ack>
<version>967</version>
<build>E967_CORE_APISELLING_17965876_R1</build>
<itemarray>
<item>
<itemid>itemid1</itemid>
<listingdetails>
<viewitemurl>itemurl1</viewitemurl>
</listingdetails>
<primarycategory>
<categoryid>categoryid1</categoryid>
<categoryname>categoryname1</categoryname>
</primarycategory>
<title>title1</title>
<picturedetails>
<galleryurl>url1</galleryurl>
<photodisplay>thumbnail1</pictureurl>
<pictureurl>picture1</pictureurl>
</picturedetails>
</item>
</itemarray>
</getsellerlistresponse>
My php is as follows:
<?
$xml = '<!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?--><getsellerlistresponse xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents"><timestamp>2016-08-11T14:17:39.869Z</timestamp><ack>Success</ack><version>967</version><build>E967_CORE_APISELLING_17965876_R1</build><itemarray><item><itemid>itemid1</itemid><listingdetails><viewitemurl>itemurl1</viewitemurl></listingdetails><primarycategory><categoryid>categoryid1</categoryid><categoryname>categoryname1</categoryname></primarycategory><title>title1</title><picturedetails><galleryurl>url1</galleryurl><photodisplay>thumbnail1</pictureurl><pictureurl>picture1</pictureurl></picturedetails></item><item><itemid>itemid2</itemid><listingdetails><viewitemurl>itemurl2</viewitemurl></listingdetails><primarycategory><categoryid>categoryid2</categoryid><categoryname>categoryname2</categoryname></primarycategory><title>title1</title><picturedetails><galleryurl>url2</galleryurl><photodisplay>thumbnail2</pictureurl><pictureurl>picture2</pictureurl></picturedetails></item></itemarray></getsellerlistresponse>';
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadXML($xml);
$title_nodes = $dom->getElementsByTagName('title');
$titles = array();
foreach ($title_nodes as $node) {
$titles[] = $node->nodeValue;
echo $node->nodeValue;
}
echo $titles[0];
echo count($titles);
?>
When I run it, I get a blank page, no errors, nothing.
If I check $titles length using count(), it comes back as zero.
For some reason it is not getting the title node (or any other nodes) and I can't figure out how to parse the xml string with php and get the node values.
Any help most appreciated, if the question is vague or lacking detail, please let me know and I will correct it.
The XML isn't valid:
Unable to parse any XML input. org.jdom2.input.JDOMParseException: Error on line 2: The element type "photodisplay" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "".
And that's only after you remove the comments in your XML declaration:
<!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?-->
shoud be
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I have the following PHP code from which I need to generate XML.
$hparams["SiteName"]="";
$hparams["AccountCode"]="";
$hparams["UserName"]='xxxx';
$hparams["Password"]='xxxx';
$client_header = new SoapHeader('url','AuthenticationData',$hparams,false);
$cliente = new SoapClient($wsdl); $cliente->__setSoapHeaders(array($client_header));
$opta=array();
$opta["Search"]["request"]["Origin"]="MAA";
$opta["Search"]["request"]["Destination"]="BOM";
$opta["Search"]["request"]["DepartureDate"]="2014-05-20T00:00:00";
$opta["Search"]["request"]["ReturnDate"]="2014-05-22T00:00:00";

$opta["Search"]["request"]["IsDirectFlight"]="true";
$opta["Search"]["request"]["PromotionalPlanType"]="Normal";
$h=array();
$h= (array)$cliente->__call('Search',$opta);
How can I generate an XML of the above variables in PHP ?
The format should be
<xml>
<credential>
<Sitename>sitename</Sitename>
<AccountCode>ACC Code</AccountCode>
</credentials>
<Data>
<Origin>MAA</Origin>
<Destination>BOM</Destination>
</Data>
</xml>
Any help would be appreciate.
Thank you.
<?php
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
$dom = new DomDocument('1.0'); // making xml
$credentials = $dom->appendChild($dom->createElement('Credentials')); // adding root element <credentials>
$sitename = $credentials->appendChild($dom->createElement('Sitename')); // adding element <sitename> in <credentials>
$accountcode = $credentials->appendChild($dom->createElement('AccountCode')); // adding element <accountcode> in <credentials>
$sitename->appendChild($dom->createTextNode('sitename')); // adding text in <sitename>
$accountcode->appendChild($dom->createTextNode('ACC Code')); // adding text in <accountcode>
$data = $dom->appendChild($dom->createElement('Data'));
$origin = $data->appendChild($dom->createElement('Origin'));
$destination = $data->appendChild($dom->createElement('Destination'));
$origin->appendChild($dom->createTextNode('MAA'));
$destination->appendChild($dom->createTextNode('BOM'));
$dom->formatOutput = true; // generating xml
// generating XML as string or file
$test1 = $dom->saveXML();
$dom->save('test1.xml');
?>
I think you could write loop by yourself ;)
P.S. PHP 5+
First of all, your xml is not well structured.
It should be like:
<xml>
<credentials>
<Sitename>sitename</Sitename>
<AccountCode>ACC Code</AccountCode>
<Data>
<Origin>MAA</Origin>
<Destination>BOM</Destination>
</Data>
</credentials>
<credentials>
...
</credentials>
</xml>
Iterate the obtained result, and by concating , form the needed xml.
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<root>
<pages>
<page><title>Home</title><content>Lorem Ipsum</content></page>
<page><title>Pictures</title><content>Lorem Ipsum</content></page>
<page><title>Information</title><content>Lorem Ipsum</content></page>
</pages>
<css>
<css-tag><title>background-color</title><value>#FFF</value></css-tag>
</css>
<layout>1</layout>
</root>
PHP:
$title = $_GET['0'];
$xml = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'ISO-8859-1');
$xml->formatOutput = true;
$xml->preserveWhiteSpace = true;
$xml->load($location);
$pages = $xml->getElementsByTagName("page");
foreach($pages as $page){
$pagetitle = $page->getElementsByTagName("title");
$pagetitlevalue = $pagetitle->item(0)->nodeValue;
if($title == $pagetitlevalue){
$pagetitle->item(0)->parentNode->removeChild($pagetitle->item(0));
}
}
$xml->save($location);
This code gets rid of just the <Title> node, how can it be changed to get rid of the parent <Page> node?
I can't figure out how to do this, I just manage to get rid of the title node and get loads of error codes
Whilst this is something I'd probably use xpath for, you can find...
$pagetitle->item(0)->parentNode->removeChild($pagetitle->item(0));
and replace with...
$pagetitle->item(0)->parentNode->parentNode->removeChild($pagetitle->item(0)->parentNode);
to go one level higher in your XML tree
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2"?>
<!DOCTYPE pasaz:Envelope SYSTEM "loadOffers.dtd">
<pasaz:Envelope xmlns:pasaz="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<pasaz:Body>
<loadOffers xmlns="urn:ExportB2B">
<offers />
</loadOffers>
</pasaz:Body>
</pasaz:Envelope>
I've to add some child nodes to "offers" node and I'm using SimpleXML.
The PHP code: $offer = $xml->offers->addChild('offer') returns an error.
It's all wrong because I've got problem with handling namespaces in SimpleXML! Please help!
E.g. by using xpath the get the target/parent element.
<?php
$envelope = new SimpleXMLElement('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2"?>
<!DOCTYPE pasaz:Envelope SYSTEM "loadOffers.dtd">
<pasaz:Envelope xmlns:pasaz="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<pasaz:Body>
<loadOffers xmlns="urn:ExportB2B">
<offers />
</loadOffers>
</pasaz:Body>
</pasaz:Envelope>');
$envelope->registerXPathNamespace('pasaz', 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/');
$envelope->registerXPathNamespace('b2b', 'urn:ExportB2B');
$ns = $envelope->xpath('//pasaz:Body/b2b:loadOffers/b2b:offers');
if ( 0<count($ns) ) {
$offers = $ns[0];
$offers->a = 'abc';
$offers->x = 'xyz';
}
echo $envelope->asXml();
prints
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2"?>
<!DOCTYPE pasaz:Envelope SYSTEM "loadOffers.dtd">
<pasaz:Envelope xmlns:pasaz="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<pasaz:Body>
<loadOffers xmlns="urn:ExportB2B">
<offers><a>abc</a><x>xyz</x></offers>
</loadOffers>
</pasaz:Body>
</pasaz:Envelope>
