Thinking Up Some XML Tags<\/h2>\n
\nFirst you have to identify repeating elements of your web page. This can be menus, headlines,
\nlinks, shopping cart products and so on. Then look at the parameters you want to assign to your
\nelements. Look at this example XML, and you will get the idea: <\/div>\n
\nfile test.pxml:<\/div>\n
\n
\n<doc title=\"Pizza menu\" bgcolor=\"lightblue\">\n\t<bigheadline>\n\t\tPizza Palace - Our Menu for  <dayofweek \/>\n\t<\/bigheadline>\n\t<br \/><br \/>\n\t<b>Buon appetito!!!<\/b>\n\t<br \/><br \/>\n\t\n\t<nicebox bordercolor=\"green\">\n\t\t<product id=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t<product id=\"1\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t<product id=\"2\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t<product id=\"3\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t<product id=\"4\" \/><br \/>\n\t<\/nicebox>\n<\/doc>\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Dynamically Constructing XML<\/h2>\n
\nPHP doesn’t care if it is embedded in HTML or XML.
\nSo if we use a little trick, we are able to use PHP to construct our XML. <\/div>\n
\nThis function creates an output buffer, opens and executes a file using the include-function,
\nand returns the contents of the output buffer.\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n
<?php\u00a0
\n
<\/span>function\u00a0<\/span>LoadAndExec<\/span>(<\/span>$filename<\/span>)\u00a0{
\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>ob_start<\/span>();
\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0include(<\/span>$filename<\/span>);
\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>$content<\/span>=<\/span>ob_get_contents<\/span>();
\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>ob_end_clean<\/span>();
\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0return\u00a0<\/span>$content<\/span>;
\n
}
\n
<\/span>?>
\n
<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/code><\/font><\/div>\n
\nSo now we can create the XML on the fly: <\/div>\n
\nfile test.pxml:<\/div>\n
\n
\n<doc title=\"Pizza menu\" bgcolor=\"lightblue\">\n\t<bigheadline>\n\t\tPizza Palace - Our Menu for  <dayofweek \/>\n\t<\/bigheadline>\n\t<br \/><br \/>\n\t<b>Buon appetito!!!<\/b>\n\t<br \/><br \/>\n\t\n\t<nicebox bordercolor=\"green\">\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<?php\u00a0<\/span>for(<\/span>$x<\/span>=<\/span>0<\/span>;<\/span>$x<\/span><<\/span>5<\/span>;<\/span>$x<\/span>++){\u00a0<\/span>?>\n<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<product\u00a0id=\"<?php\u00a0<\/span>echo\u00a0<\/span>$x<\/span>;<\/span>?><\/span>\"\u00a0\/><br\u00a0\/>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<?php\u00a0<\/span>}\u00a0<\/span>?><\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/code><\/font>\t<\/nicebox>\n<\/doc>\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
