IF statements with XML files Magpie Parser

buildakicker · 10-02-2008, 09:22 PM

Hello all,

I have a XML file that I have set up with a <status> item. I have been trying to use an IF statement to grab the Items that only have <fostatus>YES</fostatus>. Why can't I just do this:

PHP Code:


			
            echo '<ul class="newsclass">';

        foreach ($items as $item ){ 

if(!$item['fostatus'] = 'NO'){        

        echo '<li><strong><a href="'.$item['link'].'">'.$item['title'].'</a></strong><br /><span class="readmorehilite">Forest Order #: ' .$item['ordernumber']. '</span> - <span class="readmore">In Effect? </span><span class="readmorefostatus">' .$item['fostatus']. '</span><br />' .$item['description']. '</li>';

            }

}

            echo '</ul>';

I am using Magpie to parse.

Try one of the following:

if ($item['fostatus'] != 'NO') {
if ($item['fostatus'] == 'YES') {
