parsing XML

Post by DavidBurleigh » Mon Apr 20, 2009 1:03 am

has anyone a link to a white paper that has a complete segment of code that shows how to parse xml? Dumb Rev books and online docs have no examples. I went to search online docs and put in "parse xml" and go NO hits. Are these people just stupid? Parsing XML is a critical need in development and they have NO examples (that I can find) on how to do it. Sure they explain each function one at a time, but have nothing in context.

you can send me a link or code, whatever you might have directly to incomex@hotmail.com.

thanks.

we really need to start complaining about the lack of quality with respect to bugs and documentation, it really is inexcusable.

I just went through the same frustration a couple days ago.
http://forums.runrev.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2929

Got no help from the forum, but after taking apart Rev's RSS tutorial demo stake, and finding a great old Ken Ray comment on XML parsing in the mailing list, I was on my way and parsing.

Oh and Ken also has his own XML library that I haven't tried, but a lot of users on the list seem to use instead of revXML too.

I have found Tereza Snyder's Califex Tree Field stack very useful too:
