Question

I have some problems with an xml that has a a href link, that I just can’t echo out in the right order.

XML :

<root>
      <x>290</x>
      <y>204</y>
      <width>420</width>
      <height>70</height>
        <htmlText>
                 <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="7">
                 <P ALIGN="CENTER">
                 <FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="12" COLOR="#333333" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">
                 SOME TEXT 
                 <A HREF="mailto:[e-mail]" TARGET="">
                 <U>[e-mail]</U>
                 </A> SOME TEXT
                 </FONT>
                 </P>
                 </TEXTFORMAT>
                 </htmlText>
    </root>

My moduletext function :

<?php 
class modules
{
     private $xml;
     protected $build;
     // div text
     public $div_x, $div_y, $div_width, $div_height, $title, $post, $date, $caption_fontfamily, $caption, $caption_fontsize, $caption_color, $caption_ls, $serverEmail, $name, $email, $message, $src;

     private $direction, $fontFamily, $af_color, $color, $bold, $italic, $underline, $af_bold, $af_italic, $af_underline, $size;
     // P
     public $p_attr_color, $p_attr_align, $p_attr_fontfamily, $p_attr_fontsize, $p_content, $p_content_temp;
     // Image module
     private $img_path, $img_x, $img_y, $img_rotation, $img_width, $img_height;
     // Shape module
     private $shape_x, $shape_y, $shape_width, $shape_height, $fill_color, $border_color, $border_size, $shape_type, $alpha, $rotation, $prettyPrinting, $opacity;
    public function moduleText($xml,$print = '')
     {
         $this->xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);
         // Plocka ut XML-data
         $this->div_x = $this->xml->x;

         $this->divStart = $this->xml->htmlText[0]->TEXTFORMAT->attributes->LEADING;
         $this->build = '<div id="printthis" style="position:absolute; overflow:auto;left:'.$this->div_x.'px;top:'.$this->div_y.'px;width:'.$this->div_width.'px;height:'.$this->div_height.'px;">';

     foreach($this->xml->htmlText as $htmltext)
         {

PHP calling the method with xml:

<?php include("functions_modules.php"); 
$module = new modules; $xmlcode = '<root>
<x>290</x>
<y>204</y>
<width>420</width>
<height>70</height>
<htmlText>
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="7">
<P ALIGN="CENTER">
<FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="12" COLOR="#333333" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">
SOME TEXT
<A HREF="mailto:[e-mail]" TARGET="">
<U>[e-mail]</U>
</A>
SOME TEXT
</FONT></P>
</TEXTFORMAT>
</htmlText>
</root>'; 
echo $module->moduleText($xmlcode); ?>

The result becomes this :

SOME TEXT
SOME TEXT
<a href="mailto:[e-mail]">[e-mail]</a>

It should be:

SOME TEXT
[e-mail]
SOME TEXT

I hope this is helpful. I enjoy using xpath to cut through the XML I get back from SimpleXML:

<?php
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement("xml_file_path", NULL, True);
$tags = $xml->xpath('//a');  //use xpath on the XML to find the a tags

foreach($tags as $tag){  
    echo $image['href'] ;  //here is the a tag src
}
?>
