Hi, I'm using PHP to parse an xml file but for some reason it is truncating the xml file and only taking the last characters.
<?php
class xItem {
var $xTitle;
var $xUsername;
var $xCountry;
var $xDate;
var $xContent;
}
// general vars
$sTitle = "";
$sUsername = "";
$sCountry = "";
$sDate = "";
$sContent = "";
$arItems = array();
$itemCount = 0;
// ********* Start User-Defined Vars ************
// rss url goes here
$uFile = "http://www.codymcculloch.com/clients/Necro/news.xml";
// ********* End User-Defined Vars **************
function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs) {
global $curTag;
$curTag .= "^$name";
}
function endElement($parser, $name) {
global $curTag;
$caret_pos = strrpos($curTag,'^');
$curTag = substr($curTag,0,$caret_pos);
}
function characterData($parser, $data) { global $curTag; // get the Channel information first
global $sTitle, $sLink, $sDescription;
$titleKey = "^NEWSBOX^NEWS^TITLE";
$contentKey = "^NEWSBOX^NEWS^CONTENT";
$usernameKey = "^NEWSBOX^NEWS^USERNAME";
$countryKey = "^NEWSBOX^NEWS^COUNTRY";
$dateKey = "^NEWSBOX^NEWS^DATE";
if ($curTag == $titleKey) {
$sTitle = $data;
}
elseif ($curTag == $usernameKey) {
$sUsername = $data;
}
elseif ($curTag == $contentKey) {
$sContent = $data;
}
elseif ($curTag == $countryKey) {
$sCountry = $data;
}
elseif ($curTag == $dateKey) {
$sDate = $data;
}
// now get the items
global $arItems, $itemCount;
$itemTitleKey = "^NEWSBOX^NEWS^TITLE";
$itemContentKey = "^NEWSBOX^NEWS^CONTENT";
$itemUsernameKey = "^NEWSBOX^NEWS^USERNAME";
$itemCountryKey = "^NEWSBOX^NEWS^COUNTRY";
$itemDateKey = "^NEWSBOX^NEWS^DATE";
if ($curTag == $itemTitleKey) {
// make new xItem
$arItems[$itemCount] = new xItem();
// set new item object's properties
$arItems[$itemCount]->xTitle = $data;
}
elseif ($curTag == $itemContentKey) {
$arItems[$itemCount]->xContent = $data;
}
elseif ($curTag == $itemUsernameKey) {
$arItems[$itemCount]->xUsername = $data;

$arItems[$itemCount]->xCountry = $data;
}
elseif ($curTag == $itemDateKey) {
$arItems[$itemCount]->xDate = $data;
// increment item counter
$itemCount++;
}
}
// main loop
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement");
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "characterData");
if (!($fp = fopen($uFile,"r"))) {
die ("could not open RSS for input");
}
while ($data = fread($fp, 1048576)) {
if (!xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp))) {
die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d", xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)), xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));
}
}
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
// write out the items

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Quisque vitae wisi. Suspendisse euismod. Curabitur varius, nulla ut egestas elementum, mauris dolor vehicula ante, non venenatis neque risus eget ligula. Fusce in magna vitae elit ornare fringilla. Nullam ac odio. Morbi iaculis eros nec nulla. Donec sed wisi quis sem fringilla commodo. Phasellus lacinia. Donec erat felis, egestas ut, aliquam sit amet, ultricies et, mi. Nunc consequat massa at metus. Proin sem nibh, feugiat sit amet, convallis molestie, luctus at, leo.
if I take out the linebreaks I get:
ut egestas elementum, mauris dolor vehicula ante, non venenatis neque risus eget ligula. Fusce in magna vitae elit ornare fringilla. Nullam ac odio. Morbi iaculis eros nec nulla. Donec sed wisi quis sem fringilla commodo. Phasellus lacinia. Donec erat felis, egestas ut, aliquam sit amet, ultricies et, mi. Nunc consequat massa at metus. Proin sem nibh, feugiat sit amet, convallis molestie, luctus at, leo.
Hopefully someone has some more experience with XML/PHP than me that will help out 😃. Thanks for any help in advance. btw, if u have a better way of parsing XML I'd love to hear it because this way obviously isn't working for me 😛
