how can i parse it? the problem is coming from first two chars of the xml file which is running nice remote site's google map application. Look at that array
[0] => ÿþ<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
You can use SimpleXML_Load_String.
<?php // RAY_temp_burhan.php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
echo '<pre>';
$xml = <<<ENDXML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<eqlist>
<earhquake name="2012.12.31 18:35:13" lokasyon="CAMONU-AKHISAR (MANISA) Ilksel" lat="38.9572" lng="27.8965" mag="2.9" Depth="5.0" />
<earhquake name="2012.12.31 18:54:09" lokasyon="VAN GÖLÜ Ilksel" lat="38.7273" lng="43.1598" mag="2.3" Depth="2.1" />
<earhquake name="2012.12.31 21:00:49" lokasyon="KUCUKESENCE-ERENLER (SAKARYA) Ilksel" lat="40.7347" lng="30.4742" mag="1.9" Depth="4.4" />
</eqlist>
ENDXML;
// CONVERT TO AN OBJECT
$obj = SimpleXML_Load_String($xml);
// PARSE OUT SOME ATTRIBUTES
foreach ($obj as $quake)
{
// ATTRIBUTE NAMES ARE CASE-SENSITIVE
$loc = $quake->attributes()->lokasyon;
$dep = $quake->attributes()->Depth;
echo PHP_EOL . "$loc $dep";
}
An object oriented way
$xml = <<<ENDXML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<eqlist>
<earhquake name="2012.12.31 18:35:13"
lokasyon="CAMONU-AKHISAR (MANISA) Ilksel"
lat="38.9572"
lng="27.8965" mag="2.9" Depth="5.0" />
<!-- Etc... -->
</eqlist>
ENDXML;
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadXML($xml, LIBXML_NOBLANKS);
Then you can use the various methods defined by DOMDocument. One of these methods that is useful for checking the validity with an XSD is schemaValidate
