The ampersand & is a special character in HTML and XML. If you want to use it as a normal character, you have to encode it correctly. Write & instead of &: src=”https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6483807/…9623&w=180&h=46&style=white&variant=text&loc=en_US” & denotes the start of an encoded entity, such as < for <, or & for &. In your case the parser … Read more
Well, you are close. In SAX, events are triggered when the XML is being parsed. When the parser is parsing the XML, and encounters a tag starting (e.g. <something>), then it triggers the tagStarted event (actual name of event might differ). Similarly when the end of the tag is met while parsing (</something>), it triggers … Read more
Native XML Extensions I prefer using one of the native XML extensions since they come bundled with PHP, are usually faster than all the 3rd party libs and give me all the control I need over the markup. DOM The DOM extension allows you to operate on XML documents through the DOM API with PHP … Read more
You need to use the xsd.exe tool which gets installed with the Windows SDK into a directory something similar to: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin And on 64-bit computers: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin And on Windows 10 computers: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin On the first run, you use xsd.exe and you convert your sample XML into a … Read more
If you want to work with DOM you have to understand the concept. Everything in a DOM Document, including the DOMDocument, is a Node. The DOMDocument is a hierarchical tree structure of nodes. It starts with a root node. That root node can have child nodes and all these child nodes can have child nodes … Read more
Here is a quick DOM example that shows how to read and write a simple xml file with its dtd: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″ standalone=”no”?> <!DOCTYPE roles SYSTEM “roles.dtd”> <roles> <role1>User</role1> <role2>Author</role2> <role3>Admin</role3> <role4/> </roles> and the dtd: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?> <!ELEMENT roles (role1,role2,role3,role4)> <!ELEMENT role1 (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT role2 (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT role3 (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT role4 (#PCDATA)> … Read more
You won’t be able to make an ajax call to http://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml from a file deployed at http://run.jsbin.com due to the same-origin policy. As the source (aka origin) page and the target URL are at different domains (run.jsbin.com and www.ecb.europa.eu), your code is actually attempting to make a Cross-domain (CORS) request, not an ordinary GET. In … Read more
General case The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed. This error indicates that your XML has markup following the root element. In order to be well-formed, XML must have exactly one root element, and there can be no further markup following the single root element. One root element example (GOOD) … Read more
Thanks for the pointers. I don’t know, whether this is the best approach to the problem or not, but here is how I got it to work. I referenced the Microsoft XML, v2.6 dll in my VBA, and then the following code snippet, gives me the required values Dim objXML As MSXML2.DOMDocument Set objXML = … Read more
The real trouble is nested tags. Nested tags are very difficult to handle with regular expressions. It’s possible with balanced matching, but that’s only available in .NET and maybe a couple other flavors. But even with the power of balanced matching, an ill-placed comment could potentially throw off the regular expression. For example, this is … Read more
