  • 0

Been looking around and am stumped. Basically I’m trying to filter out a result from an xml feed and hide it from displaying in the html output. I’m trying to find out the venue “Hornblower Cruises and Events” and if it exists, hide the whole , which is the parent of all the nodes.

Here’s the URL: http://www.sandiegomagazine.com/goldstartest/rss3-exclude.php

Here’s my code:

<?php
 $myfeed = simplexml_load_file('https://www.goldstar.com/api/listings.xml?api_key=6d0d598c69dfecfcf028b0d2b3c9b693b606ad8c&postal_code=92101');
 $i = 0;
foreach ($myfeed as $goldstar): 
    $title=$goldstar->headline_as_html; 
    $summary=$goldstar->summary_as_html; 
    $dates=$goldstar->upcoming_dates->event_date->date; 
    $ourprice=$goldstar->our_price_range; 
    $fullprice=$goldstar->full_price_range; 
    $img=$goldstar->image; 
    $link=$goldstar->link; 
    $venue_name=$goldstar->venue->name;
    $venue_street=$goldstar->venue->address->street_address;
    $venue_locality=$goldstar->venue->address->locality;
    $venue_region=$goldstar->venue->address->region;
    $venue_zip=$goldstar->venue->address->postal_code;
    $venue_phone=$goldstar->venue->phone;
    $category=$goldstar->category_list->category->name;


   // if ($venue_name == 'Hornblower Cruises and Events'){
     // unset($myfeed->event);
        //echo $myfeed->asxml();

    //}

    if (++$i > 20) {
    // stop after 10 loops
    break;
}


?>

<html>
<head></head>
<body>







<div class="gs-item">
<div class="gs-itemcontent">

<h3 class="gs-cat"><?php echo $category; ?></h3>
<h2><a href="<?php echo $link; ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo $title; ?></a></h2>
<h4 class="gs-date">Date: <?php echo $dates; ?> <br/>For more show dates, <a href="<?php echo $link; ?>" target="_blank">click here</a></h4>

<img src="<?php echo $img; ?>" />
<p><?php echo $summary; ?></p>


<div id="gs-callout">
<span class="fullprice">Full Price: <?php echo $fullprice; ?></span>
<br/>
<span class="ourprice">Our Price:  <span class="gs-hilite"><?php echo $ourprice; ?></span></span>
 <p><a class="gs-button" href="<?php echo $link; ?>" target="_blank">Buy Tickets &raquo;</a></p>

</div>


<ul class="gs-venue">
<li><strong><?php echo $venue_name; ?></strong> | </li>
<li><?php echo $venue_street; ?></li>
<li><?php echo $venue_locality; ?>, <?php echo $venue_region; ?> <?php echo $venue_zip; ?></li>
<li><?php echo $venue_phone; ?></li>


</ul> 

</div>
<div class="gs-clear"></div>
</div>







    <?  endforeach; ?>



</body>

    Use a keyed foreach

     foreach ($myfeed as $key => $goldstar):

    And then unset the entire current xml using the key

    unset($myfeed->$key);

    Or unset just the venue with unset($myfeed->$key->venue);

    Alternately, you could just build a new obj instead of trying to edit the existing one. Instantiate a new object before your loop and then only add the pieces to it that you want to keep.

    Or, you can just continue the foreach if you find the unwanted venue. The only downside is that you won’t have a copy of your ok’d list in $myfeed. So…

    if ($venue_name == 'Hornblower Cruises and Events') { continue; }
