Re: Using PHP to parse specific XML tag content?

Hi,

I have quite different approach. Since PHP is only the engine to
produce HTML from XML data, then all processing of XML I do with XSLT.
PHP is only a kind of manager (gets the name of XML file, sends
content-type, selects proper xsl file). Here is the code:

<?php
header() ;
$xsl = "MyForm.xsl" ;
$command = "xsltproc " . $xsl . " " . $_GET[XML_File] ;
$last_line = system( $command ) ;
?>

Of course you have to have xsltproc installed, but I assume you have
it. This way enables you to test your XML --> HTML transformation in
testing environment. For example:
bash# xsltproc MyForm.xsl TestData.xml

That is the end of the story if you want only to display the data from
XML file.

If not, and you want HTML to be a FORM to post the data back to the
server then you need to parse it in the PHP, but this part is easy
isn't it?

Cheers
