Inserting URL Values into XML Page

Question

I trying to write a php page that will take url values and insert them into an xml file. Any sample files would be of great help.

Hi there, You could do something like the following:

<?php

// get parameters
$parameters = explode ( "&", $_SERVER ['QUERY_STRING'] );

// create new dom document
$doc = new DOMDocument();

// create new root node
$root = $doc->appendChild ( $doc->createELement ( "querystring", "" ));

// iterate all parameters
foreach ( $parameters as $parameter ) {
 // get keypair from parameter
 $keypair = explode ( "=", $parameter );
 // check if we have a key and a value
 if ( count ( $keypair ) == 2 ) { 
  // add new node to xml data
  $root->appendChild ( $doc->createElement( $keypair[0],$keypair[1] ) );
 } 
}

// save XML to variable
$xml = $doc->saveXML();

// echo or output to file...
echo $xml;

?>

It will take the parameters (key/value pairs) of an URL and adds it to a new XML document. After the saveXML you can do whatever you want with the XML data.

Hope that helps.

Johan.
