[@ahmedbashir9290]

we really missing u bucky...!!!!

[@h.p.lovecraft9079]

This way is little better i think: foreach($xml->producer as $producer){ foreach($producer as $value){ echo $value.' '; } echo ' '; }

Nice simple example to get you started - often the most difficult part. Of course mine didn't work first go but that appears to be an issue with my xml file - don't know why yet because it opens in a browser OK. But using a small simple xml file got me past that.

[@horrorbreakdown]

Great tutorial!

[@lordyrich]

@MrValles10 XML elements dont need a dollar sign unless you turn on into a varaible for a foreach loop . So in that case he wasnt being a noob at all.

[@shaun_rambaran]

Thanks.

[@Dalwanaage]

goot tut.

[@cjvaans4484]

Nice!

[@VonSherman]

very helpful saved me a lot of time thanks mate :)

[@swapnilsonsurkar2136]

finally xml :0

[@MrValles10]

@deimis321 No, that part he was doing is BASIC PHP. Evn YOU wouldn't make a mistake like that. You can NEVER access a variabel by typing a 'word' without using the $-symbol, except if you define it. And secondary, he makes a second mistake on that same thing, cheezes

what if i want to display images? a big image and some thumbnails?

[@RahilWazirAli]

wish there could be 100's of subcribe buttons so i can click all of them for your videos

[@Arcthoor]

Why would you not want to use it? Seems organized and simple to me. What else would I use?

[@lordyrich]

@MrValles10 Are you refering to the XML element 'age'?

[@AlexGomes09]

+ reading xml seems a bit messy to me. Imagine there were too many deep structured xml data.

[@xXxBladeStormxXx]

Kinda reminds me of objects and classes in C++

[@TechLearningstudio]

is there any way where we can dynamically update our XML file as per user input, Please reply?

[@FFWDEntertainment]

What do you mean the root isn't important? What if I have multiple objects?

[@thesickbeat]

@MrValles10 If you speak as much programming languages as me or Alex does you make these kind of mistakes from time to time. If you consider someone a noob if he makes a mistake I wonder what knowledge you're sharing for free and how perfect you are.

[@workingTchr]

For some reason the British just explain everything better.

[@MrValles10]

BTW, to make things clear. I'm not saying that this tutorial is bad or something, I really done'! I just want to say that the part I am reffering to is really stupid. He could easily cut it out and rerecord it...

[@LargeCube]

@LargeCube ahh I got it :) silly me

[@Masteryxx]

Then those multiple objects would be enclosed by a root tag.

[@xxiRaQiAtheistxx]

I wonder what does this means ''$this -->"

[@LargeCube]

i have a problem.... $xml = simplexml_load_file('example.xml'); Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "example.xml" in H:\xampp\htdocs\Mokymasis\Reading a Simple XML File.php on line 2

[@xxiRaQiAtheistxx]

in your xml file don't add "&" character or any other characters.

[@MrValles10]

@lordyrich I am

Another cloned SimpleXML tutorial. They always have the same superfiacial content and they always use the producer[1] bullshit as if someone would actually count the order of the elements in an XML-file. Of course, one would use an key-child, but from that moment on, SimpleXML gets buggy and unreliable, especially the @-structure I have spent much time getting SimpleXML running in a real environment. It turnes out to be unnecessarily unsimple. For instance, every child has to be transformed into a PHP variable before you can use it. It would be easier to make one central php-files with hundreds of variables :)

[@rw7799]

what do you do instead? load xml into a database? not enough real world examples. xml is a piss of piss,,,its how you use it in websites etc that is the hard part..
