QUESTION Foreach how?

[smdp-1971]

hello, I have a problem with using foreach function.

the following code works ok when I use addAttribute name= ...

PHP Code:

foreach ($testfile->data as $data) 
    {
        $atts= $data->attributes();
        $data = $xml->addChild('data');
        $data->addAttribute('name', $atts['name']);                
    }

    $data = $xml->addChild('data');
    $data->addAttribute('name', $_POST['name']); 


Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test>
<data name="1"/>
<data name="2"/>
<data name="3"/>
</test>

My question is how to get results using foreach when I us addChild -> name? I need this:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<test>
    <data>
        <name>1</name>
        ...
    </data>
    <data>
        <name>2</name>
        ...
    </data>
    <data>
        <name>3</name>
        ...
    </data>
</test>

I've tried various combinations, but always returns an empty result.

plugin -> test.php

PHP Code:

$thisfile=basename(__FILE__, ".php");
 
# register plugin
register_plugin(
    $thisfile, //Plugin id
    'Name of plugin',     //Plugin name
    '1.0',         //Plugin version
    '',  //Plugin author
    '', //author website
    'Description', //Plugin description
    'pages', //page type - on which admin tab to display
    'test_content'  // administration
);
 
add_action('nav-tab','createSideMenu',array($thisfile,'TEST')); 

define('simpleDATATEST', GSDATAOTHERPATH  . 'test_page.xml');

function test_content() {

if(isset($_GET['test-add']))
    {
        add();
    }
    else
    {
        echo '<h3 class="clearfix">SOME TITLE</h3>';
        echo '<p><a href="load.php?id=test&test-add">Add Data</a></p>';
    }
}
# end function


function add(){

echo '<p><a href="load.php?id=test">Back</a></p>';

if(file_exists(simpleDATATEST))
    {    
        $testfile = getXML(simpleDATATEST);
    }

$xml = new SimpleXMLExtended('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><test></test>');

    if(isset($_GET['test-add']))
    {
    
    ?>
    <div class="add-new">
    <p><a href="load.php?id=test&test-add">Add New</a></p>
        <h3 class="clearfix">Some Title</h3>    
            <form method="post" class="add" action="load.php?id=test&test-add">
                <label for="name">Name</label>
                <p><input class="text short" name="name" type="text" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['name'])){ echo $_POST['name'];}?>" /></p>
                <p><input type="submit" class="submit" name="save" value="Save" /></p>
            </form>
    </div>
    <?php

    if(isset($_POST['save']))
        {    
            foreach ($testfile->data as $data) 
                {
                    $atts= $data->attributes();
                    $data = $xml->addChild('data');
                    $data->addAttribute('name', $atts['name']);                
                }

                $data = $xml->addChild('data');
                $data->addAttribute('name', $_POST['name']);
                
                
/* EXAMPLE -> NOT WORKING
foreach ($testfile->data as $data) 
    {
                    
        $atts= $data->children();
        $data = $xml->addChild('data');
        $data->addChild('name', $atts['name']);
                                    
    }

        $data = $xml->addChild('data');
        $data->addChild('name', $_POST['name']);
*/    

            XMLsave($xml, simpleDATATEST);
        }
    }    
} 


tnx,

does your input data change also
"$atts= $data->children();" instead of attributes , is that correct for the input data ?

It looks ok at a glance, hmm

also you are modifying your foreach value variable $data
$data = $xml->addChild('data');
use another varname like $node

PHP Code:

foreach ($testfile->data as $data) 
    {
                    
        $atts= $data->children();
        $node= $xml->addChild('data');
        $node->addChild('name', $atts['name']);
                                    
    }

Thank shawn_a for your reply.

After your suggestion looks like this:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test><data><name/></data><data><name>6</name></data></test>

previous entries are empty only displays the last!?

I found a solution to store data.

PHP Code:

foreach ($testfile->item as $prox) 
    {          
        $node = $xml->addChild('item');
        $node->addChild('name', $prox->name);
        $node->addChild('something', $prox->something);
                                 
    } 
        $node = $xml->addChild('item');
        $node->addChild('name', $_POST['name']);
        $node->addChild('something', $_POST['something']);

XMLsave($xml, simpleGSECCONTENT); 


Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<monthly>
    <item>
        <name>First name<name/>
        <somenthing>Bla bla<somenthing/>
    </item>
    
    <item>
        <name>Second name</name>
        <startdate>Bla bla 2</startdate>
    </item>
</monthly>  

Now I have a problem with editing existing data.

Can someone help?
