PHP Script to read XML

[NZ_Kiwis]

I need a script to read a page like this http://www.stuff.co.nz/feeds/League.xml and it will set all nodes like title, link and description into a variables like $title $link

I've looked into this for several days but it's doing my head in, can someone help

What you're trying to do is read RSS. Check out http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-element-construct.php . Then, with a loop, you can read the RSS and do whatever you want with it.

Yeah Ive read that but i seem to make a right mess of it....

here is my try

<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->load('http://www.stuff.co.nz/feeds/League.xml');
//echo $doc->saveXML(); 

$newNode = $dom->createElement('item id') ;
foreach ($nodeList as &$node) {
  echo $node->nodeValue ;
  $newNode->appendChild($node) ;
}

?>

But why would you pick createElement() ? You don't want to create anything new, you just want to search the XML.

Try using this function on that line instead: [man]domdocument.getelementsbytagname[/man].

This code should get you started.

$feed_details = @new SimpleXMLElement($rss_contents,LIBXML_NOCDATA);

if (!empty($feed_details->channel->item)) {
  foreach ($feed_details->channel->item as $num=>$rss_object) {
    // You now have these.  You could also do print_r($rss_object) to see all options
    $rss_object->title
    $rss_object->link
    $rss_object->description
  }
}
