PHP-XML Demo: XML to HTML
This is a slightly modified example from the XML manual:
- Different data
- endElementHandle(parser, name) function fixed!)
- Has 2 arrays: one for beginning and an other for end tags
- The translation list contains arbitrary text
Here we go:
"RECIPE LIST
",
"RECIPE" => "
",
"RECIPE_NAME" => "",
"AUTHOR" => "Author: ",
"MEAL" => "",
"COURSE" => "",
"INGREDIENTS" => "Ingrediants
",
"ITEM" => "- ",
"DIRECTIONS" => "
Directions
"
);
$end_array = array(
"LIST" => "
",
"RECIPE" => "
",
"RECIPE_NAME" => "
",
"AUTHOR" => "",
"MEAL" => "
",
"COURSE" => "",
"INGREDIENTS" => "",
"ITEM" => "",
"DIRECTIONS" => ""
);
function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs)
{
global $begin_array;
// print "DEBUG: $name
";
if ($htmlexpr = $begin_array[$name]) {
print "$htmlexpr";
}
}
function endElement($parser, $name)
{
global $end_array;
if ($htmlexpr = $end_array[$name]) {
print "$htmlexpr";
}
}
function characterData($parser, $data)
{
print $data;
}
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
// use case-folding so we are sure to find the tag in $begin_array
// does this REALLY work ??? / DKS
xml_parser_set_option($xml_parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, true);
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement");
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "characterData");
if (!($fp = fopen($file, "r"))) {
die("could not open XML input");
}
while ($data = fread($fp, 4096)) {
if (!xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp))) {
die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",
xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),
xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));
}
}
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
?>
