XML-PHP Outputing <ol>

programming
1

Hi,

This is probably very simple. Attempting to output an <ol> from the following XML with PHP. I’m unable to echo the <li> start element or</ol> end element. What did I goof?


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<list>
	<item>Apples</item>
	<item>Oranges</item>
	<item>Pears</item>
	<item>Peaches</item>
	<item>Mangos</item>
	<item>Bread</item>
	<item>Cookies</item>
	<item>Olives</item>
	<item>Cheese</item>
	<item>Bacon</item>
</list>




<?php
//The XML file that you wish to be parsed.
$xmlFile = "xml_items.xml";
/*	The character data Handler
*	Depending on what the currentElement is, 
*	the handler assigns the value to the appropriate variable
*/
function characterData($parser, $data){
	echo $data;

}
/*	The start Element Handler	
*	This function tells the parser to place a <b> 
*    where it finds a start eleement.
*	This is also where we get the attribute, if any.
*/
function startElement($parser, $data){
	if(strcmp($data,"item")==0){
		echo "<li>";
		}else{
		echo "<ol>";
		}


}
/*Creating the xml parser*/
function endElement($parser,$data){
	echo "</li>";


}
/*Register the handlers*/
$xml_parser=xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser,"startElement","endElement");
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser,"characterData");
/*Open the xml file and feed it to the parser in 4k blocks*/
if(!($fp=fopen($xmlFile,"r"))){
	die("Cannot Open $xmlSource ");
	}
	while(($data=fread($fp,4096))){
		if(!xml_parse($xml_parser,$data,feof($fp))){
			die(sprintf("XML error at line %d column %d ",
						xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser),
						xml_get_current_column_number($xml_parser)));
						
		
		}
		
	

}
//Free the memory used to create the parser.
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
//Close the file when your done reading it.
fclose($fp);
?>
