Very Basic XML

[JordashTalon]

I have an XML file like this

<varname>varvalue</varname>

saved as filename.xml

How would I get the all of the varnames into variables in PHP?

Thanks

This is probably not a valid xml file.
You should have only one root element in the xml file, then under the root you can put all your varname elements.

Then just use SimpleXML to parse your file.
look at this page:
http://us.php.net/manual/en/function...-load-file.php

It's hard to write an example because I don't know all the details, for example. do you know in advance which varnames you will have in the xml?

It's pretty simple either way.

so probably like this:

<variables>
<varname>text text</varname>
<varname1>text text</varname1>
</variables>

so probably like this:

<variables>
<varname>text text</varname>
<varname1>text text</varname1>
</variables>

Well, yes, that's better. If you going to store this in a file, you should add this to the top of file (it should be the very first line)

<?xml version="1.0"?>

That helped I read through that link you gave me and looks like PHP has some sweet XML reading functions I did this

$variables=simplexml_load_file('variables.xml');

echo 'Variable One: ' . $variables->varname;

and that will do exactly what I need,

Thanks for the help!
