  1. POXML Loop Statement in PHP
    text
    copied!<p>Hey, i have an simpleXMLElement document that features an array of data to do with an artist's albums. </p> <p>Below is an extract of that XML</p> <pre><code> [2] =&gt; SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] =&gt; Array ( [num] =&gt; 3 [type] =&gt; artist ) [title] =&gt; DJ Tiësto [uri] =&gt; http://www.discogs.com/artist/DJ+Ti%C3%ABsto [summary] =&gt; DJ Tiësto Tijs Michiel Verwest Dutch trance DJ &amp; producer. </code></pre> <p>In this XML document there are multiple different types of information from artist info to titles of albums. I want to extract certain parts of this data and echo them out. For instance i want to extract the summary's of the array entries that have the [type] defined to artist. I'm guessing i would use a foreach loop that went through all the entries and checked if this was true? Is this the right way to go about it.</p> <p>I apologise for my confusing explanation</p> <p>---- EDIT ----</p> <p>Heres the PHP code that grabs the data - </p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $curl = curl_init(); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.discogs.com/search?type=all&amp;" . "q=DJ+Tiësto&amp;" . "f=xml&amp;" . "api_key=&lt;key&gt;"); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_ENCODING, "gzip"); $result = curl_exec($curl); curl_close($curl); $xmlmusic = new SimpleXMLElement($result,NULL,true); foreach ($xmlmusic as $xm) { $attrs = $xm-&gt;attributes(); if($attrs["type"] == "title") echo $xm-&gt;summary."\n"; } </code></pre> <p>?></p>
