i have a xml file and I am trying to access the data in a xml file but it return an empty array.
Could the problem be in the file itself?
I have tried to use Basic SimpleXML usage this is my php code i used:
<?php
libxml_use_internal_errors(TRUE);
$xml = file_get_contents("https://egytech4uu.herokuapp.com/data.xml");
$XML = simplexml_load_string($xml, "SimpleXMLElement", LIBXML_NOCDATA);
$json = json_encode($XML);
$arr = json_decode($json,TRUE);
print_r($arr);
?>

CodePudding user response:
Here's one for you:
<?php
$xmldata = file_get_contents("https://egytech4uu.herokuapp.com/data.xml");
$xmlparser = xml_parser_create();
$arr = [];
xml_parse_into_struct($xmlparser, $xmldata, $arr);
xml_parser_free($xmlparser);
print_r($arr);
So what's going there? It returns a flat array, but for each node at least we can see its level. A random item in this array might look like this:
{
"tag": "XS:ELEMENT",
"type": "complete",
"level": 9,
"attributes": {
"NAME": "ARABIC_NAME",
"TYPE": "xs:string",
"MINOCCURS": "0"
}
},
You are looking to loop the <Ticker>
tags.
<Ticker diffgr:id="Ticker209" msdata:rowOrder="208">
<SYMBOL>AMPI.CA</SYMBOL>
<ARABIC_NAME>المؤشر للبرمجيات ونشر المعلومات</ARABIC_NAME>
<CLOSE>2.37</CLOSE>
<OPEN>2.37</OPEN>
<ENGLISH_NAME>Al Moasher for Programming and Information Dissemination</ENGLISH_NAME>
</Ticker>
It's equivalent array nodes are (remember this is flat array):
{
"tag": "TICKER",
"type": "open",
"level": 4,
"attributes": {
"DIFFGR:ID": "Ticker209",
"MSDATA:ROWORDER": "208"
},
"value": "\n "
},
{
"tag": "SYMBOL",
"type": "complete",
"level": 5,
"value": "AMPI.CA"
},
{
"tag": "TICKER",
"value": "\n ",
"type": "cdata",
"level": 4
},
{
"tag": "ARABIC_NAME",
"type": "complete",
"level": 5,
"value": "المؤشر للبرمجيات ونشر المعلومات"
},
{
"tag": "TICKER",
"value": "\n ",
"type": "cdata",
"level": 4
},
{
"tag": "CLOSE",
"type": "complete",
"level": 5,
"value": "2.37"
},
{
"tag": "TICKER",
"value": "\n ",
"type": "cdata",
"level": 4
},
{
"tag": "OPEN",
"type": "complete",
"level": 5,
"value": "2.37"
},
{
"tag": "TICKER",
"value": "\n ",
"type": "cdata",
"level": 4
},
{
"tag": "ENGLISH_NAME",
"type": "complete",
"level": 5,
"value": "Al Moasher for Programming and Information Dissemination"
},
{
"tag": "TICKER",
"value": "\n ",
"type": "cdata",
"level": 4
},
{
"tag": "TICKER",
"type": "close",
"level": 4
},
{
"tag": "TICKER",
"value": "\n ",
"type": "cdata",
"level": 3
},
So there's some work to do here, but I think all the data is there.
