We are currently in the midst of developing an XML parser written in PHP to take the data and insert it into a MySQL database. We have some questions to the community.
Here is an example of what our XML data looks like: (just an example - not the actual data)
-<shoes xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes" id="f1121" sizes="mens"/> -<sizes id="mens"> <size dt:dt="int">8</size> <size dt:dt="int">10</size> <size dt:dt="int">12</size> </sizes>
1. What functions/classes do we use when creating a parser to read such data? 2. How is the "dt:dt = "int"" handled, especially since we don't even need this data - just what between the tags. Is there a way to skip over this information and just read what's in front of the datatype information - without error? 3. How does the hyphen play a part in the parsing of this information? We recognize that this provides some sort of tree functionality - but does this interfer with the parsing process?
Any input would be greatly appreciated. This is for our senior project and we've run into some errors in our code and need this cleared up.
Thanks!
