How to use "simplexml_load_file".

[MappingFOR]

Hello, today... I will try to write English tutorial. ;P (Never trying before)


simplexml_load_file is a function which we can load XML file to PHP Variable.

Example 1

<?php
$PHPVariable = simplexml_load_file('stages.xml');
?>

Nice! We load stages.xml to file, but what that variable have inside?

Example 2

<?php
$PHPVariable = simplexml_load_file('stages.xml');
print_r($PHPVariable);
?>

SimpleXMLElement Object ( [world] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 0 [multiplier] => 1 ) [stage] => Array ( [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [minlevel] => 1 [maxlevel] => 5 [multiplier] => 5 ) ) [1] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [minlevel] => 6 [maxlevel] => 15 [multiplier] => 4 ) ) [2] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [minlevel] => 16 [maxlevel] => 35 [multiplier] => 3 ) ) [3] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [minlevel] => 36 [maxlevel] => 49 [multiplier] => 2 ) ) [4] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [minlevel] => 50 [multiplier] => 1 ) ) ) ) )

For begginer - that's the same as "ahdhG[sghgs]fgsh>fg]hfs[fs]", but I can see a new powers

SimpleXMLElement Object
(
 *[world] => SimpleXMLElement Object
  (
    [@attributes] => Array
    (
      [id] => 0
      [multiplier] => 1
    )
    [stage] => Array
    (
      [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object
      (
        [@attributes] => Array
        (
          [minlevel] => 1
          [maxlevel] => 5
          [multiplier] => 5
        )
      )
      [1] => SimpleXMLElement Object
      (
        [@attributes] => Array
        (
          [minlevel] => 6
          [maxlevel] => 15
          [multiplier] => 4
        )
      )
      [2] => SimpleXMLElement Object
      (
        [@attributes] => Array
        (
          [minlevel] => 16
          [maxlevel] => 35
          [multiplier] => 3
        )
      )
      [3] => SimpleXMLElement Object
      (
        [@attributes] => Array
        (
          [minlevel] => 36
          [maxlevel] => 49
          [multiplier] => 2
        )
      )
      [4] => SimpleXMLElement Object
      (
        [@attributes] => Array
        (
          [minlevel] => 50
          [multiplier] => 1
        )
      )
    )
  )
)

You see it now? ;]
But how to show that's tree..

It's easy:
Example 3

<?php
$PHPVariable = simplexml_load_file('stages.xml');
print $PHPVariable->world->stage[0][minlevel]; // That's will show me first minimal stage level. ( 1 )
?>

Now, show all values in first stage.

Example 4

<?php
$PHPVariable = simplexml_load_file('stages.xml');

$a = 0;
while(isset($PHPVariable->world->stage[$a])){
$stages[$a] = $PHPVariable->world->stage[$a][minlevel].' - '.$PHPVariable->world->stage[$a][maxlevel];
$a++;
}

foreach($stages as $stage){
print $stage.'<br/>';
}
?>

On screen with my DATA:

1 - 5
6 - 15
16 - 35
36 - 49
50 -

That's stages on my OTS.. but where's rate?

Example 5

<?php
$PHPVariable = simplexml_load_file('stages.xml');

$a = 0;
while(isset($PHPVariable->world->stage[$a])){
$stages[$a]['mimx'] = $PHPVariable->world->stage[$a][minlevel].' - '.$PHPVariable->world->stage[$a][maxlevel];
$stages[$a]['rate'] = $PHPVariable->world->stage[$a][multiplier];

$a++;
}

foreach($stages as $stage){
print $stage['mimx'].' ('.$stage['rate'].')<br/>';
}
?>

+ FINAL

Example 6

<?php
$PHPVariable = simplexml_load_file('stages.xml');

$a = 0;
while(isset($PHPVariable->world->stage[$a])){

$stages[$a]['mimx'] = $PHPVariable->world->stage[$a][minlevel].''.($PHPVariable->world->stage[$a][maxlevel] != "" ? ' - '.$PHPVariable->world->stage[$a][maxlevel].'' : '+');
$stages[$a]['rate'] = $PHPVariable->world->stage[$a][multiplier];

$a++;
}

foreach($stages as $stage){
print $stage['mimx'].' (x'.$stage['rate'].')<br/>';
}
?>

1 - 5 (x5)
6 - 15 (x4)
16 - 35 (x3)
36 - 49 (x2)
50+ (x1)

That simple way we can read stage on OTS.
We can read ALL XML FILES!

This is way to create a superprecision serverinfo.php site ;] With actually data.


How to read data from vocations.xml.

Read all name's + desc.
Example 7

$PHPVariable = simplexml_load_file('vocations.xml');

$a = 0;
while(isset($PHPVariable->vocation[$a])){

$vocations[$a]['name'] = $PHPVariable->vocation[$a][name];
$vocations[$a]['desc'] = $PHPVariable->vocation[$a][description];

$a++;
}

foreach($vocations as $vocation){
print $vocation['name'].', He is '.$vocation['desc'].'.<br/>';
}

?>

My return.

Fighter, He is a fighter.
Scout, He is a scout.
Adept, He is a adept.

All vocation data:
Example 8

<?php
$PHPVariable = simplexml_load_file('E:/WraithOTS [old]/data/XML/vocations.xml');


$a = 0;
while(isset($PHPVariable->vocation[$a])){

$loads = array(name,description,needpremium,gaincap,gainhp,gainmana,gainhpticks,gainhpamount,gainmanaticks,gainmanaamount,manamultiplier,attackspeed,soulmax,gainsoulticks,lessloss);

foreach($loads as $load){
$vocation[$a]["$load"] = $PHPVariable->vocation[$a][$load];
}

$a++;
}
?>

Now you can load ALL data from vocations...

$vocation[ID][WhatYouWant];

Ok.. that's end... sorry for my very bad english. That's my first english tut.
