renaming <tag?>

X-No-Archive

How do I quickly rename xml tags enmass without altering the contents
of the tag?

eg.

from:

<root>
<row>
<field>whatever</field>
<field>wherever</field>
</row>
..
..
..
</root>

to:

<root>
<row>
<fieldone>whatever</fieldone>
<fieldtwo>wherever</fieldtwo>
</row>
</root>
..
..
..

This is PHP?? I don't think so. If you told us something like your
name so we can talk to you, or what software you are using or something
like that, then we might be able to help you.

preg_replace might help, if I understand your problem correctly (but I
can't be sure, so I haven't given a full example).

It's cool, I sort of hacked together a solution that did the job. It
might not be the best
code but it worked. I had to replace the first <field> with <un> and
the second <field>
with <description>.

$filename = "dg3.xml";
$handle = fopen($filename, "r");
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
$simple = $contents;
$p = xml_parser_create();
xml_parse_into_struct($p, $simple, $index);
xml_parser_free($p);
for ($i=0; $i <= count($index); $i++) {
if (is_numeric($index[$i]['value']) and (($index[$i]['level']) == 3))
{
echo "<un>".$index[$i]['value']."</un>";
} elseif (is_string($index[$i]['value']) and ($index[$i]['level'] ==
3)) {
echo "<description>".$index[$i]['value']."</description>";
}
}

Thanks for the suggestion.
regards.
