Hi David,
I've managed to shuffle the array like you said in: http://www.magicparser.com/node/558
This works fine, but how can I limit the number of result being displayed from the array.
Right now I used a foreach, but this is, of course, wrong.
Can you help me out?
My current code is:
<?php
require("MagicParser.php");
$records = array(); // global array of records to pick from later
function myRecordHandler($record)
{
global $records;
$records[] = $record;
}
MagicParser_parse("productfeed.xml","myRecordHandler");
shuffle($records);
// now you pick off as many random records as you require....
foreach ($records as $record) {
print $record["NAME"];
print $record["PRICE"];
print $record["PRICE-CURRENCY"];
print $record["PRODUCTURL"];
print $record["IMAGEURL"];
}
?>
Thanks!

Hi Jasper,
The most efficient way to do this, which doesn't involve copying the array around in memory is to do this:
$count = 0;foreach ($records as $record) {
print $record["NAME"];
print $record["PRICE"];
print $record["PRICE-CURRENCY"];
print $record["PRODUCTURL"];
print $record["IMAGEURL"];
$count++;
if ($count == 5) break;
}
Simply change the value of 5 as required...
Cheers,
David.
