Allrighty so you client wanted XML to be imported or read using your PHP application and you got stuck on the actual 'reading' of XML?
Here's a solution to parse / convert the XML into a nice readable PHP array:

Try it yourself using this webbased demo!

ps: read the next post if you have PHP5 or access to the simpleXML functions-set !

Perhaps even better:
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/simplexml.examples.php
| Code: | <?php
$xmlstr = <<<XML
<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?>
<movies>
<movie>
<title>PHP: Behind the Parser</title>
<characters>
<character>
<name>Ms. Coder</name>
<actor>Onlivia Actora</actor>
</character>
<character>
<name>Mr. Coder</name>
<actor>El ActÓr</actor>
</character>
</characters>
<plot>
So, this language. It's like, a programming language. Or is it a
scripting language? All is revealed in this thrilling horror spoof
of a documentary.
</plot>
<great-lines>
<line>PHP solves all my web problems</line>
</great-lines>
<rating type="thumbs">7</rating>
<rating type="stars">5</rating>
</movie>
</movies>
XML;
?>
|
| Code: | <?php
include 'example.php';
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);
echo $xml->movie[0]->plot; // "So this language. It's like..."
?>
|
| Code: | <?php
include 'example.php';
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);
/* Access the <rating> nodes of the first movie.
* Output the rating scale, too. */
foreach ($xml->movie[0]->rating as $rating) {
switch((string) $rating['type']) { // Get attributes as element indices
case 'thumbs':
echo $rating, ' thumbs up';
break;
case 'stars':
echo $rating, ' stars';
break;
}
}
?>
