Ok, this must be simple but the more i search the more i don't find.
It's about SimpleXML and PHP.
How to find non-existing nodes or nodes with no text
My XML file looks a little bit like this:
i.e. 1
<discography>
<CD>
<title></title>
<year>1978</year>
</CD>
</discography>
i.e. 2:
<discography>
<CD>
<year>1978</year>
</CD>
</discography>
In i.e. 1, the tag <titleis empty. How do i test for empty tags in
PHP?
In i.e. 2, the tag <titledoesn't even exist. How do i test for non-
existing tags?
This is how i get the values from XML in PHP without validation
....
//set the XML file name as a PHP string
$cd_xml = "db/discography/cd.xml";
//load the XML file
$xml = @simplexml_load _file($cd_xml) or die ("Error: The XML file
can't open.") ;
....
//no validation if empty, creates empty <h1tags. Not good!
<h1><?php echo $xml->CD->title; ?></h1>
<h2><?php echo $xml->CD->year; ?></h2>
How to validate?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Have you tried RTFM? A string with no characters is just that - a
zero-length string.

Hi,
First of all, I'm a beginner with Unix.
I have a "make" (Unix command) problem with a Pro*C sub-program since
I installed Oracle8i (before I was at 7.3.4). I have a script builder
that generate a makefile (that include env_precomp.mk) and launch this
makefile after. So, I receive this error:
make: 1254-002 Cannot find a rule to create target

Hello,
Can anybody have idea as how to find it there exist consective one's in
a word/dword using bitwise operatiors in C language.
Obviously this can be done by shifting and looping one by one; but
there must be some faster way of doing it.
The thing I want is to define some masks and macros and find if there
are consective ones on a word/dword. e.g. 0000b has no consective

hi, hope this cross-post is OK. it's unclear to me whether this question
belongs more under vstudio or dotnet...
i'm using VS2005 pro and am one co-developer of a web solution that is
getting to be at least medium sized. (about 60k lines of C# in the solution
itself and perhaps another 20k lines in libraries we've developed.)
finding classes we've built can be challenging at times and in theory the
object browser should be my friend.

I tried my level best even after the quiz to come up with a solution

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
