hi there,

i just started using phpwcms and i already love it

anyway here is my way to insert xml in to my page.
i tought i could share it with you guys&girls

<?php
$newsfeed = 'http://some-xml-or-rss-link.xml';

$fp = @fopen($newsfeed, 'r');
while(!feof($fp)){
$row .= @fgets($fp, 4096);
}
@fclose($fp);

if( eregi('<item>(.*)</item>', $row, $rowitem ) ) {
$item = explode('<item>', $rowitem[0]);

for( $i = 0; $i < count($item) - 1; $i++ ) {

  eregi('<title>(.*)</title>', $item[$i+1], $title );
  eregi('<link>(.*)</link>', $item[$i+1], $url );
  eregi('<description>(.*)</description>', $item[$i+1], $description);
  eregi('<title>(.*)</title>', $item[$i+1], $title2 );


$title[1]= substr ($title[1], 0, 25);
echo "<table  cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr>";
echo "<td>";
 echo '<a href="' . $url[1] . '" title="' . $title2[1] . '">' . $title[1] . '</a><br />';
echo "</td></tr>";
echo "</table>";

}
}
?>

i think it explains it self
just make a file with a name like xml.php or something and import with

Code: Select all

{PHP:xml.php}

have fun with it

well, if there is no xslt processor in your webspace environment, it's a possibility to show the rss content, but you are limited to rss feeds, that have exactly the xml-structure you are "replacing with nothing".

if you have xslt processor in your webspace environment (check phpinfo) then it is better to transform the xml content with xsl-stylesheets. this is the usual way.
and there are advantages: you can create many xsl-stylesheets and transform different rss feeds or other xml files.

Hi,

I gave this a try and all I get is a error on the page of

Code: Select all

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/k/e/l/kelleylaw/html/xml.php on line 15

Any Ideas.

hmmm, a parse error could be appear with any change. hard to say what happened there...

what did you change?

edit: i see, you used the above code. well, probably it's what i tried to explain, if the xml file structure differs from the one the php code is replacing, it will fail... that's why you should use xslt or with php5 you could also use simple-xml functions.
