Hello List :
You know how they say you never know the worth of something till
its gone? Well ... its true. I am so glad the list is back up.
I've been struggling with this question for quite a time now.
New to PHP and XML, so please advise as appropriate :
How do I find the parent node of a XML tag? The sample XML data
that I'll be working with is here :
http://weather.interceptvector.com/weather.xml?id=VVNDQTA5ODI%3D
As you can see, <sky> <wid> and <precipitation> appear both as
children of <weather> and <forecast>. I managed to read the XML
file in, after understanding how the parser works, but got stuck
with this problem.
My current setup checks to see which tag the parser is on, and
then appropriately populates a class with the information.
However, I currently have no way of knowing if the parser is on
the <wid> of <weather> or the <wid> of <forecast>. My temporary
solution is that of setting a flag when we are in <forecast>,
and doing a bunch of ifs, but I know there has got to be a
better way to do this.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.
PS > I can donate some space on my server if evolt.org needs it.
