How to parse this xml file?

Hi!

I trying to parse a xml file with this method;

		$feed="http://www.ersinacar.com/video.xml";
		$ch = curl_init();
		$timeout = 0;
		curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $feed);
		curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
		curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
		$xml = curl_exec($ch);
		curl_close($ch);
		//echo $xml;
preg_match_all("/<video videoId=\"(.*?)\" permalinkId=\"(.*?)\" extension=\"(.*?)\" length=\"(.*?)\" size=\"(.*?)\" fileHash=\"(.*?)\" tags=\"(.*?)\" previewHash=\"(.*?)\" previewHashLow=\"(.*?)\" highResImage=\"(.*?)\" medResImage=\"(.*?)\" username=\"(.*?)\" writerName=\"(.*?)\" directorName=\"(.*?)\" producerName=\"(.*?)\" castName=\"(.*?)\" studio=\"(.*?)\" screenFormat=\"(.*?)\" copyRightOwner=\"(.*?)\" releaseDate=\"(.*?)\" views=\"(.*?)\" rating=\"(.*?)\" numRatingVotes=\"(.*?)\" numDownloads=\"(.*?)\" numViews=\"(.*?)\" description=\"(.*?)\" title=\"(.*?)\" dateAdded=\"(.*?)\" age=\"(.*?)\" primaryCollectionPermalink=\"(.*?)\" primaryCollectionTitle=\"(.*?)\" primaryCollectionThumb=\"(.*?)\" allowEmbedding=\"(.*?)\" premium=\"(.*?)\" contentRatingId=\"(.*?)\" category=\"(.*?)\" numOfComments=\"(.*?)\">/i",$xml,$out,PREG_SET_ORDER);

print_r($out);

PHP:

but it's not working. any idea?
Thanks.

 

Tried to echo $xml but nothing appeared.

Peace,

 

try right click --> show source

 

If all you're doing is parsing xml, you might try simplexml. Look it up on php.net. It's a really good library

 

regular expressions for xml can get messy quick. i would suggest actually using php's built in xml parser and doing it that way. in the end, it's much easier...

www.php.net/xml
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.xml-parser-create.php

 

i tiried xml_parser exp. but it's not working.
used on my xml file and result

Array
(
    [ok] => Array
        (
            [1] => Array
                (
                    [1054] => Array
                        (
                            [TAGLIST] => 
			
	
                            [THUMBNAILLIST] => 
			
	
                        )

                    [1907] => Array
                        (
                            [TAGLIST] => 
			
	
                            [THUMBNAILLIST] => 
			
	
                        )

                )

        )

)

PHP:

it can't parse videos..

 

because in order to use it, you need to get rid of all of the attributes and put them in their own tags...

<rsp>
	<videos>
		<video>
			<title>some title</title>
			<length>12:34</length>
			<tags>jay cross blogs bloggers theweblogproject opensource robin good</tags>
		</video>
		<video>
			<title>another title</title>
			<length>1:34</length>
			<tags>jay cross blogs bloggers theweblogproject opensource robin good</tags>
		</video>
	</videos>
</rsp>

Code (markup):

 

but this xml file is not mine getting from a video site... so i can't change anything.
