copied!<p>I will try to explain as well as possible what I'm trying to do.</p> <p>I have a folder on a server with about 100 xml files. These xml files are content pages with text and references to attachment filenames on the server that will be pushed to a wiki through an API.</p> <p>It's all working fine 1 XML file at a time but I want to loop through each one and run my publish script on them.</p> <p>I tried with opendir and readdir and although it doesn't error it only picks up the one file anyway.</p> <p>Could someone give me an idea what I have to do. I'm very new to PHP, this is my first PHP project so my code is probably not very pretty!</p> <p>Here's my code so far.</p> <p><strong>The functions that gets the XML content from the XML file:</strong></p> <pre><code><?php function gettitle($file) { $xml = simplexml_load_file($file); $xmltitle = $xml->xpath('//var[@name="HEADLINE"]/string'); return $xmltitle[0]; } function getsummary($file) { $xml = simplexml_load_file($file); $xmlsummary = $xml->xpath('//var[@name="summary"]/string'); return $xmlsummary[0]; } function getsummarymore($file) { $xml = simplexml_load_file($file); $xmlsummarymore = $xml->xpath('//var[@name="newslinetext"]/string'); return $xmlsummarymore[0]; } function getattachments($file) { $xml = simplexml_load_file($file); $xmlattachments = $xml->xpath('//var[@name="attachment"]/string'); return $xmlattachments[0]; } ?> </code></pre> <p><strong>Here's the main publish script which pushes the content to the wiki:</strong></p> <pre><code><?php // include required classes for the MindTouch API include('../../deki/core/dream_plug.php'); include('../../deki/core/deki_result.php'); include('../../deki/core/deki_plug.php'); //Include the XML Variables include('loadxmlfunctions.php'); //Path to the XML files on the server $path = "/var/www/dekiwiki/skins/importscript/xmlfiles"; // Open the XML file folder $dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path"); // Loop through the files while ($xmlfile = readdir($dir_handle)) { if($xmlfile == "." || $xmlfile == ".." || $xmlfile == "index.php" ) continue; //Get XML content from the functions and put in the initial variables $xmltitle = gettitle($xmlfile); $xmlsummary = getsummary($xmlfile); $xmlsummarymore = getsummarymore($xmlfile); $xmlattachments = getattachments($xmlfile); //Build the variables for the API from the XML content //Create the page title - replace spaces with underscores $pagetitle = str_replace(" ","_",$xmltitle); //Create the page path variable $pagepath = '%252f' . str_replace("'","%27",$pagetitle); //Strip HTML from the $xmlsummary and xmlsummarymore $summarystripped = strip_tags($xmlsummary . $xmlsummarymore, '<p><a>'); $pagecontent = $summarystripped; //Split the attachments into an array $attachments = explode("|", $xmlattachments); //Create the variable with the filenames $pagefilenames = '=' . $attachments; $pagefilenamefull = $xmlattachments; //Create the variable with the file URL - Replace the URL below to the correct one $pagefileurl = 'http://domain/skins/importscript/xmlfiles/'; //authentication $username = 'admin'; $password = 'password'; // connect via proxy $Plug = new DreamPlug('http://domain/@api'); // setup the deki api location $Plug = $Plug->At('deki'); //authenticate with the following details $authResult = $Plug->At('users', 'authenticate')->WithCredentials($username, $password)->Get(); $authToken = $authResult['body']; $Plug = $Plug->With('authtoken', $authToken); // Upload the page content - http://developer.mindtouch.com/Deki/API_Reference/POST:pages//%7Bpageid%7D//contents $Plug_page = $Plug->At('pages', '=Development%252f' . $pagetitle, 'contents')->SetHeader('Expect','')->Post($pagecontent); // Upload the attachments - http://developer.mindtouch.com/MindTouch_Deki/API_Reference/PUT:pages//%7Bpageid%7D//files//%7Bfilename%7D for($i = 0; $i < count($attachments); $i++){ $Plug_attachment = $Plug->At('pages', '=Development' . $pagepath, 'files', '=' . $attachments[$i])->SetHeader('Expect','')->Put($pagefileurl . $attachments[$i]); } } //Close the XMl file folder closedir($dir_handle); ?> </code></pre> <p>Thanks for any help!</p>
