Question

I’m not sure what is happening. I have this code:

`case (XMLREADER::ELEMENT):
 $node_type = $reader->nodeType;

 $node_name = $reader->name;

  if ($node_name == "gs_relay_rpc"){//I need this to work now

   $node_value = $reader->readInnerXML();

   get_xml_data("<gs_relay > ".$node_value."</gs_relay>");

   include($rpc_folder.$node_name.".php");
  }`

which is obviously part of a switch statement and it works perfectly. Then I have this code :

 `case (XMLREADER::ELEMENT):
 $node_type = $reader->nodeType;
 echo $node_type."->";
 $node_name = $reader->name;

  if ($node_name == "itp_exchange_rpc"){
   echo $node_name." = ";
   $reader->read();

   $node_value = $reader->readInnerXML();
   get_xml_data("<test > ".$node_value."</test>");

  } else {
   echo $node_name." = ";
   $reader->read();
   $node_value = $reader->value;
   echo $node_value."<br>";
  }`

Which is practically a carbon copy of the first block but with this second block readInnerXML() returns a blank. The xml chunk is valid because it does get parsed. My problem is that I need to recurse on it but I can’t since the function returns blank.

The xml:
<itp_exchange_rpc > <itp_floor > <itp_floor_name > [e-mail]</itp_floor_name> </itp_floor></itp_exchange_rpc>

Answer 1

Turns out God was smiting me. It took a car crash in the morning to show me I had one too many reader->read() in the second block. I’m getting the string fine now.
