Re: [PHP] manipulating XML via php DOM

Jonas, that's what I want to get (and is valid).
Thanks,
....
<And>

<PropertyIsEqualTo>
<PropertyName>genus</PropertyName>
<Literal>ontophaugs332</Literal>
</PropertyIsEqualTo>


<Or>
<PropertyIsEqualTo>
<PropertyName>genus</PropertyName>
<Literal>ontophaugs332</Literal>
</PropertyIsEqualTo>

<PropertyIsEqualTo>
<PropertyName>genus</PropertyName>
<Literal>ontophaugs</Literal>
</PropertyIsEqualTo>

</Or>
</And>
....

I don't think it is valid to have an opening tag and a closing tag with
nothing in between. So an initial <or> and a final </or>, as you recall
it, should become <or/>.
Second, I'm not sure I understand what you want to accomplish. From the
example document you added is this the result you expect:

<And>

<PropertyIsEqualTo>
<PropertyName>genus</PropertyName>
<Literal>ontophaugs332</Literal>
</PropertyIsEqualTo>

<Or/>
<Or/>
</And>


Regards

Jonas

please, I need some help with php DOM, for me it's becoming a hell!

After trying other methods (check message from 19th november, called
"php
DOM question"), I'm getting a little more success to manipulate XML.

From the code you can see below you generate this xml. Now I just want
to
keep only the initial <Or> and the final </Or>. How can I access and
delete
the other (the "between" tags)?
I suppose there is no way to create an initial <Or> without the
associated
</Or>.
Thanks a lot,

Pere

This is the WRONG XML generated from code.
...
<And>

<PropertyIsEqualTo>
<PropertyName>genus</PropertyName>

<Or>

<PropertyIsEqualTo>

<Literal>copris</Literal>
</PropertyIsEqualTo>
</Or>
<Or>

<PropertyIsEqualTo>
<PropertyName>genus</PropertyName>
<Literal>copris2</Literal>
</PropertyIsEqualTo>
</Or>
</And>

<?php
$species=array('ontophaugs332','copris','copris2');
$dom = new DOMDocument;
//XML we will insert the data to
$dom -> load('edit_iberia3.xml');


$count=count($species);

foreach ($species as $sp=>$value) {
//we pass parameters of the array

$where_to_insert= $dom->getElementsByTagName('And')->item(0);

$child = $dom->createElement('Or');
$or=$where_to_insert->appendChild($child);

$child = $dom->createElement('PropertyIsEqualTo');
$first=$or->appendChild($child);

$child2 = $dom->createElement('PropertyName');
$first->appendChild($child2);

$child3 = $dom->createElement('Literal');
$first->appendChild($child3);

//inserting the array data
$values = $dom->createTextNode($value);
$values = $child3->appendChild($values);
}

echo $dom->save(nou_iberia);
?>
