Editing the string that is passed to two different xml files

Rabel · 01-04-2012, 03:47 PM

Hi Guys,
I am taking a form and updating two xml files with the information, but I need to slightly alter the info.
I need to add a piece of the url to the output.
I need to add this url to the beginning on the content info on the second xml file
http://mediasrv3.blahblah.net/arch/

I have tried a bunch of different codes but it just hasn't worked,
$media2->setAttribute('url', "http://mediasrv3.blahblah.net/arch/" + $_POST['content']);
or
$media2->createTextNode('http://mediasrv3.blahblah.net/arch/'+ $_POST['content'])

The input data in the form comes in and looks like this
videos/hd/2185/36kil1vntk5uvq4auh1p4z7jbsl6e530.mp4

in the file
loadAndEdit.xml
the data that is being added should stay the same
videos/hd/2185/36kil1vntk5uvq4auh1p4z7jbsl6e530.mp4

in the file
loadAndEdit-html.xml
the data should add
http://mediasrv3.blahblah.net/arch/
to the beginning of the output, so it would equal
http://mediasrv3.blahblah.net/arch/vide ... l6e530.mp4

Thanks for the help.
Randy

PHP Code:


			
/*if form to add an element has been submitted we write new item to the file*/

if (isset($_POST['submitAdd'])) {

    $xml_fname = "loadAndEdit.xml";

    $xml = new DOMDocument();

    $xml->load($xml_fname);

    $root = $xml->documentElement;

       

        $xml2_fname = "loadAndEdit-html.xml";

    $xml2 = new DOMDocument();

    $xml2->load($xml2_fname);

    $root2 = $xml2->documentElement;



    $xpath = new DOMXPath($xml);

    $xpath->registerNamespace('c', 'http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/');

       

        $xpath2 = new DOMXPath($xml2);

    $xpath2->registerNamespace('c', 'http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/');



    $channel = $xpath->query("//channel");

    $item = $xml->createElement('item');

    $channel->item(0)->appendChild($item);

    $elTitle = $xml->createElement('title');

    $item->appendChild($elTitle);

    $elTitle->appendChild($xml->createTextNode($_POST['itemtitle']));

    $media = $xml->createElement('media:credit');

    $item->appendChild($media);

    $media->setAttribute('role', 'author');

    $media->appendChild($xml->CreateTextNode($_POST['credit']));

    $media = $xml->createElement('media:content');

    $item->appendChild($media);

    $media->setAttribute('url', $_POST['content']);

    $media = $xml->createElement('media:thumbnail');

    $item->appendChild($media);

    $media->setAttribute('url', $_POST['thumbnail']);  

        $elprov = $xml->createElement('jwplayer:provider');

    $item->appendChild($elprov);

    $elprov->appendChild($xml->createTextNode('rtmp'));

        $elstream = $xml->createElement('jwplayer:streamer');

    $item->appendChild($elstream);

    $elstream->appendChild($xml->createTextNode('rtmp://mediasrv3.praizevision.net/aecarch')); 

    $xml->formatOutput = true;

    $xml->save($xml_fname);

       

    $channel2 = $xpath2->query("//channel");

    $item2 = $xml2->createElement('item');

    $channel2->item(0)->appendChild($item2);

    $elTitle2 = $xml2->createElement('title');

    $item2->appendChild($elTitle2);

    $elTitle2->appendChild($xml2->createTextNode($_POST['itemtitle']));

    $media2 = $xml2->createElement('media:credit');

    $item2->appendChild($media2);

    $media2->setAttribute('role', 'author');

    $media2->appendChild($xml2->CreateTextNode($_POST['credit']));

    $media2 = $xml2->createElement('media:content');

    $item2->appendChild($media2);

    $media2->setAttribute('url', $_POST['content']);

    $media2 = $xml2->createElement('media:thumbnail');

    $item2->appendChild($media2);

    $media2->setAttribute('url', $_POST['thumbnail']);

       

    $xml2->formatOutput = true;

    $xml2->save($xml2_fname);  

}

this is the important line
$media2->setAttribute('url', $_POST['content']);

I just need to add
http://mediasrv3.blahblah.net/arch/
before the post content

Any Ideas?

If you want to concantenate it to the post content you need to use a .

$media2->setAttribute('url', 'http://mediasrv3.blahblah.net/arch/' . $_POST['content']);
