m88 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Hi, I have a working PHP script that picks data from an XML file. I would like the script to pick values from certain range. Right now the PHP shows every Item with name and value in a table. So when all 4 of the item values are shown they are beneath each other in a column. But i would like them all to be next to each other. Therefore if i have these 4 item values (Name 0000), if i could pick them from the XML e.g. not the first but the second than i could make them manually with 4 different PHP scripts and put them next to each other. I'm not very good at PHP, but i think this is probably very easy thing to do. Thanks in advance. The PHP script looks like this: <? // DOMElement->getElementsByTagName() -- Gets elements by tagname // nodeValue : The value of this node, depending on its type. // Load XML File. You can use loadXML if you wish to load XML data from a string $objDOM = new DOMDocument(); $objDOM->load("feed.xml"); //make sure path is correct $note = $objDOM->getElementsByTagName("item"); // for each note tag, parse the document and get values for // tasks and details tag. foreach( $note as $value ){ $places = $value->getElementsByTagName("name"); $place = $places->item(0)->nodeValue; $details = $value->getElementsByTagName("amount"); $detail = $details->item(0)->nodeValue; echo "<BODY STYLE='background-color:transparent'> <table border='0'> <tr> <td width='127'><table width='127px' border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'> <tr> <td><p style='font-family:arial;color:white;font-size:22px;padding-left:3px;text-align:left; background:url(bg2.png)'><strong> $place</strong></p></td> </tr> </table> </td> <td width='115'> <table width='115px' border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'> <tr> <td><p style='font-family:arial;color:white;font-size:22px;text-align:right;padding-right:5px; background:url(bg1.png)'><strong>$detail</strong></p></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table> "; $i++; } ?> And the XML looks like this: <xml> <item> <name>Examplename</name> <amount>0000</amount> </item> <item> <name>Examplename</name> <amount>0000</amount> </item> <item> <name>Examplename</name> <amount>0000</amount> </item> <item> <name>DExamplename</name> <amount>0000</amount> </item> </xml> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m88 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 FYI: http://www.php.net/manual/en/simplexml.examples-basic.php Thanks, but it does'nt show how to get a sepcific value if the tags repeat in the XML. The thing is I cant change the XML myself, it's done by someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
