XML_PARSE_INTO_STRUCT

[Jack]

Hi,
I am trying to parse an xml file and I am having some problems. Here
is a sample structure of my xml file.

<title>Example</title>
<link rel="self" href="http://link0.com"/>

<entry>
<title>E1</title>
<link href="http://link1.com"/>
</entry>
<entry>
<title>E2</title>
<link href="http://link2.com"/>
</entry>

I want to be able to output the following

<p><a href="http://link0.com'">Example</a></p>
<p><a href="http://link1.com'">E1</a></p>
<p><a href="http://link2.com'">E2</a></p>

here is my code:
$file="test.xml";

$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();

$handle = fopen($file, "rb");
while (!feof($handle)) {
$data .= fread($handle, 8192);
}
fclose($handle);

xml_parse_into_struct($xml_parser, $data, $vals, $index);
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);

foreach ($vals as $xml_elem) {
if ($xml_elem['level'] == 1){
// THIS IS WHERE I SOMEHOW GOING TO READ AHEAD OR ACCESS THE NEXT
TAG=LINK AND SOMEHOW READ ITS ATTRIBUTE
if ($xml_elem['tag'] == 'TITLE')
printf ("<h1>%s</h1>\n", $xml_elem['value']);
else if ($xml_elem['tag'] == 'SUBTITLE')
printf ("<h3>%s</h3>\n", $xml_elem['value']);
}

The problem is write here because i don't know how I can first read
the LINK attribute first and then the title.

Thanks

I think that SimpleXML would be more convenient for your task. Below
you have sample code:

<?php
$xml = "<test>".
"<entry><title>Test1</title><link>www.test1.org</link></entry>".
"<entry><title>Test2</title><link>www.test2.org</link></entry>".
"</test>";

$xmlTable = simplexml_load_string($xml); //Use
simplexml_load_file($filename) for file loading

for ($i = 0; $i < count($xmlTable->entry); $i++){
echo '<p><a href="'.$xmlTable->entry[$i]->link.'">'.$xmlTable-

>entry[$i]->title.'</a></p>';

}
?>
