PHP, XML - Get child nodes and their attributes
$XML = <<<XML<parent> <seatmap id="1"> <seat row="A" seatnum="01" available="1" /> <seat row="A" seatnum="02" available="1" /> <seat row="A" seatnum="03" available="1" /> <seat row="A" seatnum="04" available="1" /> <seat row="A" seatnum="05" available="1" /> </seatmap></parent>XML;$xml_nodes = new SimpleXMLElement($XML);$nodes = $xml_nodes->xpath('//seatmap[@id = "1"]/seat'); // Replace the ID value with whatever seatmap id you're trying to accessforeach($nodes as $seat){ // You can then access: $seat['row'], $seat['seatnum'], $seat['available']}
Easily can be done with DOM:
$dom = new DOMDocument;$dom->load('xmlfile.xml');$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);$seats = $xpath->query('//seatmap[@id="1"]/seat');if ($seats->length) { foreach ($seats as $seat) { echo "row: ".$seat->getAttribute('row').PHP_EOL; echo "seatnum: ".$seat->getAttribute('seatnum').PHP_EOL; echo "available: ".$seat->getAttribute('available').PHP_EOL; }} else { die('seatmap not found or is empty');}
