Reading from an XML file

amessimon

Hi

I need to read from an XML document formatted in this manner

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<result>
<book>
<title>A new book</title>
<url>http://www.newbookstor e.co.uk</url>
<description>pe rspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem
accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae
ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi </description>
<logo>http://serversomewhere/images23.gif</logo>
</book>
</result>
etc.....

And write the results to the page in this manner

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" border="0" class="" width="760">
<tr>
<td><img src="http://serversomewhere/images23.gif" alt=""
border="0"></td>
<td>A new book 
perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem
accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa
quae
ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi 
<a href="http://www.newbookstor e.co.uk"></a> </td>
</tr>
etc.....

I figure i need to load all the data into some kind of container and loop
through it but cant find much information
about how to do this kind of thing. Can anyone point me in the right
direction?

Thanks in advance

Create an XSLT file that creates the output you need. You can then run the
XML and XSLT into an XmlTransform object and get the output. There are
plenty of XSLT tutorials on the web to get you started.

Reading unformatted text from stdin

by: Lionel B | last post by:

Greetings, I need to read (unformatted text) from stdin up to EOF into a char buffer; of course I cannot allocate my buffer until I know how much text is available, and I do not know how much text is available until I have read it... which seems to imply that multiple reads of the input stream will be inevitable. Now I can correctly find the number of characters available by: |

Hi folks, Suppose I have a large (1 GB) text file which I want to read in reverse. The number of characters I want to read at a time is insignificant. I'm confused as to how best to do it. Upon browsing through this group and other sources on the web, it seems that there are many ways to do it. Some suggest that simply fseek'ing to 8K bytes before the end of file, and going backwards is the way. In this case, am I guaranteed best results...

Hello. I'm writing an application that writes to a file a month, day, year, number of comments, then some strings for the comments.

Reading structures from a binary file

reading a XML file on every page execution - convert to PHP?

by: Derik | last post by:

I've got a XML file I read using a file_get_contents and turn into a simpleXML node every time index.php loads. I suspect this is causing a noticeable lag in my page-execution time. (Or the wireless where I'm working could just be ungodly slow-- which it is.) Is reading a file much more resource/processor intensive than, say, including a .php file?
