Hi there, how do I go about getting the data from the classification name="" instead of the order they are in?
I am currently using the code MagicParser_parse($file,"myRecordHandler","xml|JOBS/JOB/"); but when pulling the data it currently says
$record["CLASSIFICATIONS/CLASSIFICATION"]
$record["CLASSIFICATIONS/CLASSIFICATION@1"]
But some jobs may not contain the classifications in that particular order or have all the fields names.

Hi,
What I would suggest is reading the classifications into their own associative array, and then you can read from that array by name directly so that you don't have to rely on knowing the position.
Have a go with something like this; within your myRecordHandler function:
$classifications = array();$postfix = "";
$i = 0;
do {
if ($i) $postfix = "@".$i;
if (!$record["CLASSIFICATIONS/CLASSIFICATION".$postfix]) break;
$name = $record["CLASSIFICATIONS/CLASSIFICATION".$postfix."-NAME"];
$value = $record["CLASSIFICATIONS/CLASSIFICATION".$postfix];
$classifications[$name] = $value;
$i++;
} while(1);
// example usage after the above loop
print $classifications["Category"];
print $classifications["Work Type"];
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
