Is there anyway to store HTML in XML?

When I try to parse the XML in PHP, it gives me errors. I could see why this is, just wondering if anyone has had to solve this problem before?

Hello,

I tried to parse XML string using the DOM methode

All I got is an error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in ...

on: $root = $dom->root();

I don't know why, I'm running under WIN2K and the domxml extension is loaded...

any idea??

Thanks in advance,

Xavier

xmldocfile(),xmldoc(), xmltree()

There are not such functions in PHP 4.0
manual.
There are not such functions in
"Professional PHP programming".

That's why the paragraph from

http://www.devshed.com/Client_Side/XML/XMLwithPHP2/page2.html

"PHP offers three functions to do this: the xmldoc() and xmltree() functions accept a string containing XML data as argument, and build a tree structure from that string, while the xmldocfile() function accepts a filename as argument, and builds a DOM tree after reading the data in the file."


sounds confusing to me.

And I would like some clarification on the existence of these functions.

http://www.php.net/manual/fr/ref.domxml.php

Maybe this may help!

I've got a similar problem with both URLs and Mailto: links. If you find a solution, I'd appreciate knowing about it.

I've tried various things such as XSL attributes, various formattings of the embedded HTML, all with no result.

I've asked in several forums, but with little or no useful response so far.

I found a partial answer, using XSL Style Sheets to do the transformation (at last!), in the XSL-List archives:

<xsl:if test="WEB[.!='']">
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">http://<xsl:value-of select="WEB"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="target">_blank</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="WEB"/></font></li>
</a>
</xsl:if>

But this does require that the XML data only has the stuff after the 'http://'

It works for me...

Thank you !

I have exactly the same problem. Do you know how to resolve it ?

Nope I didn't solve the problem...I think I'll install the sablotron extension on my server to use PHP, XML and XSLT...

but if someone has the answer I'd be interesed !!

thx in advance

Xavier,

everybody around the web seems to have the same pb as us.

I already installed xslt extension and xml sax. It works fine.
