XML parsing with PHP5 and SimpleXML HELP!!!

[include_me]

Hi there,

I have an XML file with the following structure,

<item>
<name></name>
<description></description>
<Images>
<img src="" alt="" width="" height="" />
<img src="" alt="" width="" height="" />
<img src="" alt="" width="" height="" />
<img src="" alt="" width="" height="" />
</Images>
</item>

their are about 100 items but when i loop through each item and echo them onto the screen I only one to display one of the images that is listed..

Can anyone help me with the code to display just one?

I have tried $item->Images but this does not seem to display anything and I know that using children() will just show a count of the children..

Im pulling my hair out and it seems like such a small problem 🙁

Thanks,
Chris

You need to NOT include the tag, only include the src attribute

try...

foreach ($xml->children()->Images as $child) {
  echo '<img src="'.$child->src.'" alt="" width="" height="" />';
}

This should work for you, it is tested:

<?php
  $xmlstring  = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n". // The xmldecl is not required.
                "<item>".
                "\t<name></name>".
                "\t<description></description>".
                "\t<Images>".
                "\t\t<image src='img/p/1-1.jpg' />".
                "\t\t<image src='img/p/1-2.jpg' />".
                "\t\t<image src='img/p/1-3.jpg' />".
                "\t</Images>".
                "</item>";
  $xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlstring);

  foreach ($xml->children()->Images->image as $child) {
    echo "<img src=\"".$child['src']."\" alt=\"\" width=\"\" height=\"\" /><br>\n";
  } 
?>
