I'm trying to pull the video title and tags for this video, but magicparser always skips down to the comments section.
$url = "http://www.youtube.com/api2_rest?method=youtube.videos.get_details&dev_id=*snip*&video_id=6kID5W9k-Zw";
MagicParser_parse($url,"myRecordHandler","xml|UT_RESPONSE/VIDEO_DETAILS");
Tried it on your demo page and it does the same thing. Is there a workaround for this?
The incoming data looks like this:
<ut_response status="ok">
<video_details>
<author>HappySlip</author>

</ut_response>Thanks.
I basically got it to work, but I don't understand something. I can print the returned values out inside the function, but when I try to pass them to variables to be used outside of it, the values are blank. What am I don't wrong here?
MagicParser_parse($url,"myRecordHandler","xml|UT_RESPONSE/VIDEO_DETAILS/");
// DOESN'T WORK
echo $author.$title.$tags.$desc.$length.$channel;
function myRecordHandler($record){
// This is where you write your code to process each record, such as loading a database
// You can display the record contents using PHP's internal print_r() function:
// print_r($record);
// The following code will print out each field in your sample data:
$author = $record["AUTHOR"];
$title = $record["TITLE"];
$tags = $record["TAGS"];
$desc = $record["DESCRIPTION"];
$length = $record["LENGTH_SECONDS"];
$channel = $record["CHANNEL"];
// DOES WORK
echo $record["AUTHOR"];
echo $record["TITLE"];
echo $record["TAGS"];
echo $record["DESCRIPTION"];
echo $record["LENGTH_SECONDS"];
echo $record["CHANNEL"];
}Hi,
You need to declare your variables as global inside myRecordHandler. Try this:
MagicParser_parse($url,"myRecordHandler","xml|UT_RESPONSE/VIDEO_DETAILS/");
echo $author.$title.$tags.$desc.$length.$channel;
function myRecordHandler($record){
global $author,$title,$tags,$desc,$length,$channel;
// This is where you write your code to process each record, such as loading a database
// You can display the record contents using PHP's internal print_r() function:
// print_r($record);
// The following code will print out each field in your sample data:
$author = $record["AUTHOR"];
$title = $record["TITLE"];
$tags = $record["TAGS"];
$desc = $record["DESCRIPTION"];
$length = $record["LENGTH_SECONDS"];
$channel = $record["CHANNEL"];
}Cheers,
David.
Hi,
I think the only problem with your example code is the format string, which should end in a trailing slash character, so instead of:
xml|UT_RESPONSE/VIDEO_DETAILS/I've just tested this with the following code (view output):
<?phpheader("Content-Type: text/plain");
require("MagicParser.php");
function myRecordHandler($record)
{
print_r($record);
}
MagicParser_parse("ut.xml","myRecordHandler","xml|UT_RESPONSE/VIDEO_DETAILS/");
?>
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
David.
