Resolved Parse XML in PHP

[Courtney]

Hello,

I am a novice at php and xml and am having some difficulty parsing a simple xml document because of what I see as bad structure. I want to parse this link: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=10000&xml

I am using:

$doc = new DOMDocument();
	$doc->load('http://www.wowhead.com/?item=10000&xml');
	$arrFeeds = array();
	foreach ($doc->getElementsByTagName('wowhead') as $node) {
		$itemRSS = array ( 
			'item id' => $node->getElementsByTagName('item id')->item(0)->nodeValue,
			'name' => $node->getElementsByTagName('name')->item(0)->nodeValue,
			'level' => $node->getElementsByTagName('level')->item(0)->nodeValue,
			'quality' => $node->getElementsByTagName('quality')->item(0)->nodeValue,
			'class id' => $node->getElementsByTagName('class id')->item(0)->nodeValue,
			'subclass id' => $node->getElementsByTagName('subclass id')->item(0)->nodeValue,
			'inventorySlot id' => $node->getElementsByTagName('inventorySlot id')->item(0)->nodeValue,
			'htmlTooltip' => $node->getElementsByTagName('htmlTooltip')->item(0)->nodeValue,
			'json' => $node->getElementsByTagName('json')->item(0)->nodeValue,
			'jsonEquip' => $node->getElementsByTagName('jsonEquip')->item(0)->nodeValue,
			'link' => $node->getElementsByTagName('link')->item(0)->nodeValue,
			);
		array_push($arrFeeds, $itemRSS);
	}
print_r($arrFeeds);

My issue is the tags with the value in the tag like <item id="10000"> my output after parsing has the tag name but no value... [item id] =>

Can someone point me in the right direction?

'item id' => $node->getElementsByTagName('item id')->item(0)->nodeValue,

should be

'item id' => $node->getElementsByTagName('item')->item(0)->getAttribute('id'),

Thank you!!! I had done so many google searches I was out of ways to form the search terms.

So I learn something from this:

The tag name is actually the first part and the second part is the attribute. And then the actual data inside the tags is the element?

The tag name is actually the first part and the second part is the attribute. And then the actual data inside the tags is the element?

Tag name shouldn't have a blank space and thus what you've said is okay about it. Whatever comes after the tag name before the first > is attribute, and there can be multiple attributes (attribute also has certain rules). An element is the whole thing, consisting of tag name, attributes and the content inside the tags. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML#Key_terminology
