Current Date in XML

[thokala]

Hi Everyone,

I have XML file. It have some date to display the Graph. In that file i need to provide the date value. I would like to give the current date instead of hard coded date. I tried someways that i found in net , but no use of it. Can anyone help how to do this.


This is my XML file.

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!-- created: Fri May  4 10:18:56 2007 -->
<graph animation="1" bgColor="FFFFFF" canvasBgColor="FFFFFF" canvasbordercolor="CCCCCC" canvasborderthickness="1" canvasbgalpha="100" hovercapbgColor="FFFFFF" basefontcolor="000000" outcnvbasefontsize="10" areabordercolor="ffffff" hoverCapBorderColor="CCCCCC" PYAxisMinValue="0" numdivlines="4" divLineColor="FFFFFF" decimalPrecision="0" shownames="1" showAlternateHGridColor="1" alternateHGridColor="CCCCCC" showAlternateVGridColor="1" alternateVGridColor="CCCCCC" alternateVGridAlpha="80" showSecondaryLimits="1" showDivLineSecondaryValue="1" PYAxisName="" SYAxisName="" SYAxisMaxValue="420000" PYAxisMaxValue="420000" numVdivlines="10" formatNumberScale="1" showLegend="0" com_testing_caption="Potential Attacks By Category" com_testing_subcaption ="05-07 - 06-07" com_testing_changepct="-55.4%">
<categories>
    <category name="May"/>
    <category name="Jun"/>
    <category name="Jul"/>
    <category name="Aug"/>
    <category name="Sep"/>
    <category name="Oct"/>
    <category name="Nov"/>
    <category name="Dec"/>
    <category name="Jan"/>
    <category name="Feb"/>
    <category name="Mar"/>
    <category name="Apr"/>
</categories>
<dataset color="000080" areaBorderColor="000080" seriesName="other-activity" showValues="0">
    <set value="3598"/>
    <set value="2626"/>
    <set value="2174"/>
    <set value="7109"/>
    <set value="1154"/>
    <set value="3150"/>
    <set value="3391"/>
    <set value="7208"/>
    <set value="14767"/>
    <set value="2312"/>
    <set value="11950"/>
    <set value="9084"/>
</dataset>
</graph>
 

In the above code, i want to replace "com_testing_subcaption ="05-07 - 06-07" " with the current date. from PHP i can't pass any variable to this.


I would appriciate any suggestions that would help to get it work.

Thanks in advance :)

If you are using PHP to generate this, you can use PHP code to create and insert the date into the XML output.
For example:

$myXML = "<xmlNode>!-CurrentDate-!</xmlNode>";
$myXML = str_replace("!-CurrentDate-!", date('Y-m-d', time()), $myXML);
echo $myXML;
 

This would output:
<xmlNode>2007-06-18</xmlNode>
