simplexml

I am a beginner in PHP and I know nothing about XML manipulation. I am working on a Google CSE annotation XML shown below: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> - <Annotations> - <Annotation about="http://sanspace.in/"> <Label name="_cse_byxamvbyjpc" /> </Annotation> - <Annotation about="http://blog.sanspace.in/"> <Label name="_cse_byxamvbyjpc" /> </Annotation> - <Annotation about="http://google.com/"> <Label name="_cse_exclude_byxamvbyjpc" /> </Annotation> </Annotations> I want achieve this from the above shown file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> - <Annotations> - <Annotation

This is killing me! I've never had so much trouble and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here. If I have a number, say 2.32, and I want to do math with it it won't work out. The very simplest example: $income = $commission; //Commission is 2.32, retrieved from XML echo "income: $income<br>"; $income100 = $income*100; echo "income100: $income100<br>"; The result I get is: income: 2.32 income100: 200 How can I use a decimal number accurately with math without it changing it? Thanks so much! You need to assign $income in the following manner to get rid of the underlying SimpleXMLElement :

I have an XML file which contains ![CDATA[]] data. Like this: <link><![CDATA[https://google.de]]></link> Now I heard that I can not modify ![CDATA[]] data or that they contains some special characters. But I do not remember anymore... That's the reason why I'am asking here. Can I change the values in ![CDATA[]] and if yes, how? I just want to append something like "?=dadc" on the link. Edit: My XML file structure (Want to edit the url): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rss> <channel xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0" version="2.0"> <title>Google Eur English 1</title> <description/>

In every article about SimpleXML performance and memory usage it is mentioned that all parsed content is stored in memory and that processing large files will lead to large memory usage. But recently I found that processing large files with SimpleXML do not cause large memory usage even more it causes almost none memory usage. There is my test script: <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set("display_errors", 1); print "OS: " . php_uname() . "\n"; print "PHP version: " . phpversion() . "\n"; print round(memory_get_usage() / 1024 / 1024, 2) . " Mb\n"; $large_xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding=

I'm using SimpleXML to try to parse a large XML file with <!ENTITY declarations. Unfortunately, SimpleXML seems too eager to go ahead and expand those entities, and I'd rather it didn't, since the entity symbols are short, easily parseable, and theoretically won't change in newer versions of the file, while the expanded entities are English sentences that may change. Is there any way to tell SimpleXML to knock it off? I've thought of "pre-parsing" the XML file to strip out the <!ENTITY bits before passing the file contents to the XML parser, but that feels hacky, and since it's a huge file, I

I have an xml formatted like this: <?xml version="1.0"?> <root> <foo id="1"> <bar>text</bar> </foo> <foo id="2"> <bar>text2</bar> </foo> </root> I know that, in PHP, you I can access the nth element of an xml file loaded with SimpleXML like so: $xml = simplexml_load_file('file.xml'); echo $xml->foo[2]->bar; but I need to access an element by a variable pulled from $_GET , so: echo $xml->foo[$var]->bar; This doesn't seem to work, and I'd really appreciate any advice. Thanks! It seems SimpleXML distinguishes between numeric and non-numeric array offsets in a slightly different way to a normal
