I have a document that it's structure is like below.
There are a lot of <entry>
. My question is how can I output the <uri>
of each entry? And another question, how can I output only the USERNAME
?
This is the file I want to get the usernames http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=yankees
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<feed xmlns:google="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0" xml:lang="en-US" xmlns:openSearch="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:twitter="http://api.twitter.com/" xmlns:georss="http://www.georss.org/georss">
<entry>
<author>
<name></name>
<uri>http://twitter.com/USERNAME</uri>
</author>
</entry>
<?php
$xml = new DOMDocument;
// link to ur file
$xml->load('');
foreach ($xml->getElementsByTagName('entry') as $product )
{
$append = array();
foreach($product->getElementsByTagName('uri') as $name ) {
// Stick $name onto the array
$append[] = $name;
}
}
$result = $xml->saveXML();
print_r(str_replace('http://twitter.com/','',$result));
?>
You can use Xpath queries
http://www.php.net/manual/en/simplexmlelement.xpath.php
or
http://php.net/manual/en/domxpath.query.php
You should use SimpleXML some kind of a loop which goes trough all the s.
(foreach($xml->entry as $entry)
loop should work fine, I think.)
And for the second: if it is always http://twitter.com/USERNAME
, simply count the prefix's length than use a substr.
