Formating XML Parsed Through PHP

programming
1

Alright, so I’m trying to create this page where data is displayed from a XML file on the page however, I’m having trouble formatting the text once it is displayed.

I tried using CSS on the PHP file but I only got it to work on Firefox so that’s not going to work:

PHP CODE:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<?php

$xml_file = "article.xml";

$xml_headline_key = "*NEWS*ARTICLE*ARTICLE_TITLE";
$xml_description_key = "*NEWS*ARTICLE*DESCRIPTION";
$xml_hdate_key = "*NEWS*ARTICLE*HDATE";
$xml_hyperlink_key = "*NEWS*ARTICLE*HYPERLINK";

$story_array = array();

$counter = 0;
class xml_story{
    var $headline, $description, $hdate, $hyperlink;
}

function startTag($parser, $data){
    global $current_tag;
    $current_tag .= "*$data";
}

function endTag($parser, $data){
    global $current_tag;
    $tag_key = strrpos($current_tag, '*');
    $current_tag = substr($current_tag, 0, $tag_key);
}

function contents($parser, $data){
    global $current_tag, $xml_headline_key, $xml_description_key, $xml_hdate_key, $xml_hyperlink_key, $counter, $story_array;
    switch($current_tag){
        case $xml_headline_key:
            $story_array[$counter] = new xml_story();
            $story_array[$counter]->headline = $data;
            break;
        case $xml_description_key:
            $story_array[$counter]->description = $data;   
            break;
		case $xml_hdate_key:
            $story_array[$counter]->hdate = $data;
            break;
		case $xml_hyperlink_key:
            $story_array[$counter]->hyperlink = $data;
			$counter++;
            break;
    }
}

$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();

xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startTag", "endTag");

xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "contents");

$fp = fopen($xml_file, "r") or die("Could not open file");

$data = fread($fp, filesize($xml_file)) or die("Could not read file");

if(!(xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp)))){
    die("Error on line " . xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser));
}

xml_parser_free($xml_parser);

fclose($fp);

?>

<html>
<head>
<title>CNT HEADLINE NEWS</title>
<style type="text/css">
	h1{
		color : #FFFFFF;
		font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
		font-size: 10px;
		font-weight:bold;
	}
	date {
	color : #FFFFFF;
	font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 10px;
	font-weight:bold;
	}
	description {
	color : #FFFFFF;
	font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 10px;
	}
	hyperlink {
	color : #333;
	font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 10px;
	}
</style>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#333">
<?php
for($x=0;$x<count($story_array);$x++){
    echo "	<h1>" . $story_array[$x]->headline . "</h1>
";
    echo "		
";
    echo "	<date>" . $story_array[$x]->hdate . "</date>
";
	echo "	<br/>
";
	echo "	<description>" . $story_array[$x]->description . "</description>
";
	echo "	<br/>
";
	echo "	<hyperlink>" . $story_array[$x]->hyperlink . "</hyperlink>
";
}
?>



</body>
</html>

And even once I get the text formatted properly, I have no idea how I will be able to put this in a table. Any ideas or sites that would point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
