Hello,
i've purchased your parser and it's excellent.
Recently i had to parse a xml file wich looks correct but does not parse.
It returns an "autodetect failed" error.
I use the format string "xml|PROPERTIES/PROPERTY/"
Can you help me?
Thank you very much.
Peter.
Below an example of the xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

</properties>Thanks David.
Below the code i use to parse the file:
Regards,
Peter.
<?php
require("MagicParser.php");
$filename = "ireos.xml";
$format_string = MagicParser_getFormat($filename);
if (!$format_string)
{
print "<p>".MagicParser_getErrorMessage()."</p>";
exit;
}
else
{
print "<p><strong>Autodetected Format String:</strong> ".$format_string."</p>";
}
print "<p>Contents of first record:</p>";
function myRecordHandler($record)
{
print "<table border='0'>";
foreach($record as $key => $value)
{
print "<tr>";
print "<td>".$key."</td>";
print "<td>".htmlentities($value)." </td>";
print "</tr>";
}
print "</table>";
// return a non-zero value to stop reading any more records
return 1;
}
MagicParser_parse($filename,"myRecordHandler","xml|PROPERTIES/PROPERTY/");
?>
Hello Peter,
Autodetect is most likely failing because there are not enough of the main repeating record in the feed. However, as you are not relying on the result of the autodetect but instead using your own correct format string, simply remove that first section of code. All you need is this:
<?php
require("MagicParser.php");
$filename = "ireos.xml";
print "<p>Contents of first record:</p>";
function myRecordHandler($record)
{
print "<table border='0'>";
foreach($record as $key => $value)
{
print "<tr>";
print "<td>".$key."</td>";
print "<td>".htmlentities($value)." </td>";
print "</tr>";
}
print "</table>";
// return a non-zero value to stop reading any more records
return 1;
}
MagicParser_parse($filename,"myRecordHandler","xml|PROPERTIES/PROPERTY/");
?>
Cheers,
David.
Hello David,
you are right, the error is gone, thank you.
I've changed the code to test the fields with the code below but does not return a result.
As you suggested i've tried to read a larger feed with 2 properties, the result is empty.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much for your help.
Peter.
*table*
<?php
require("MagicParser.php");
function myRecordHandler($item) {
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>".$item["PROPERTYID"]."</td>";
echo "<td>".$item["PROPERTYREFERENCE"]."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
$url = "ireos.xml";
MagicParser_parse($url,"myRecordHandler","xml|PROPERTIES/PROPERTY/");
?>
Hello Peter,
Your code looked fine - and I just tested it with your example XML. Here is the output:
http://www.magicparser.com/examples/ireos.php
To test this I saved a copy of your sample XML from above - which is here:
http://www.magicparser.com/examples/ireos.xml
Here's the source:
<?php
require("MagicParser.php");
print "<table border='1'>";
function myRecordHandler($item) {
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>".$item["PROPERTYID"]."</td>";
echo "<td>".$item["PROPERTYREFERENCE"]."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
$url = "ireos.xml";
MagicParser_parse($url,"myRecordHandler","xml|PROPERTIES/PROPERTY/");
print "</table>";
?>
If this doesn't help please feel free to email me the original XML document and i'll make sure it works OK with the full feed...
Hope this helps!
David.
Thank you very much David!
You are right, i apologize, it did work except a stupid mistake i made with copy/paste extra properties.
Thanks again for your time and help :)
Regards,
Peter.
Hello Peter,
If you are using a format string, Magic Parser does not use the autodetect logic, so you should not be getting this error.
Could you post an example of your code and i'll check it over for you? If you don't want to post it on the forum, feel free to email it to me - reply to your forum registration email or reg code email is the easiest way to get me..
Cheers,
David.
