Question

I am working on some Plesk integration using the XML API and I am trying to figure out how to parse the XML response that I get back. Most of the data is fine, but the http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PPP9/Doc/en-US/plesk-9.2-api-rpc/index.htm?fileName=28788.htm>Limits and Permissions are setout differently. Essentially they are set out like so:

<data>
  <limits>
    <limit>
      <name>foo</name>
      <value>bar</value>
    </limit>
    <limit>
      <name>foo2</name>
      <value>bar2</value>
    </limit>
  </limits>
</data>

How do I extract ‘bar’ from the xml given that I know I want the value of ‘foo’, but not the value of ‘foo2’?

Answer 1

<cfset my_xml = XmlParse(XMLCODE) />

<cfoutput>
1: #my_xml.data.limits[0].limit.value#
<br />2: #my_xml.data.limits[1].limit.value#
</cfoutput>
