alternative to simplexml command in php4, HELP!!!
just found out my server doesn't have php5 and doesn't plan to for months.
am trying to make a geocoding parsing script (i am very newbie to all this)
there is a great php geocde script here - http://www.developer.com/db/article.php/3621981
but uses simplexml command (line 19) that is not used by php4
found this as a possible alternative for simplexml command-
http://www.shop24-7.info/32-0-simple...tive-php4.html
but being a newbie am clueless how to do it, but i tried to no avail....
PHP Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<?php
class sxml
{
var $parser;
var $error_code;
var $error_string;
var $current_line;
var $current_column;
var $data = array();
var $datas = array();
function parse($data)
{
$this->parser = xml_parser_create('UTF-8');
xml_set_object($this->parser, $this);
xml_parser_set_option($this->parser, XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE, 1);
xml_set_element_handler($this->parser, 'tag_open', 'tag_close');
xml_set_character_data_handler($this->parser, 'cdata');
if (!xml_parse($this->parser, $data))
{
$this->data = array();
$this->error_code = xml_get_error_code($this->parser);
$this->error_string = xml_error_string($this->error_code);
$this->current_line = xml_get_current_line_number($this->parser);
$this->current_column = xml_get_current_column_number($this->parser);
}
else
{
$this->data = $this->data['child'];
}
xml_parser_free($this->parser);
}
function tag_open($parser, $tag, $attribs)
{
$this->datas[] =& $this->data;
$this->data =& $this->data['child'][$tag][];
}
function cdata($parser, $cdata)
{
@$this->data['data'] .= $cdata;
}
function tag_close($parser, $tag)
{
$this->data =& $this->datas[count($this->datas)-1];
array_pop($this->datas);
}
}
// Your Google Maps API key
$key = "***have removed my google api key but it was in here!!!***";
// Desired address
$address = "http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=411+Woody+Hayes+Drive,+Columbus,+OH&output=xml&key=$key";
//// Retrieve the URL contents
// $page = file_get_contents($address);
//
// // Parse the returned XML file
// $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($page);
//Demo: Einsatz von sxml
$url=$address;
$xml_parser = new sxml;
$src=implode ('', file ($url));
$xml_parser->parse($src);
$xml=$xml_parser->data;
// print_r($xml);
/// Parse the coordinate string
list($longitude, $latitude, $altitude) = explode(",",
$xml->Response->Placemark->Point->coordinates);
// Output the coordinates
echo "Longitude: $longitude, Latitude: $latitude";
?>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Anyone able to spot the mistake???? just want it to echo the results, will then be using the extended script on page 2 of the first link to mysql it....
