XML to Text File

So I'm working on something to try to get xml to parse,
and then after it is parsed and is in the proper format
I would like - to have it write to a text file for later
processing.

Now I have the proper formatting I want (it displays on the
page properly) and now it's time to write it to a text file.

But my theory got screwed up somewhere.

I thought I would be able to parse out the data while
writing to the file. But that really isn't working properly.
Instead it's only writing a 1 to the file.

So I've removed the write to a text file code and this
is what I have:

<?php
// The XML file that is to be parsed for osc
$file = "sample.xml";

# Get the contents of each tag
function contents($parser, $data){
	
	echo $data;
}

// This helps setup some formatting for the top

function startTag($parser, $data){
$temp_data1 = str_replace('INVENTORY', '', $data);
$temp_data2 = str_replace('DATA', '', $temp_data1);

		echo $temp_data2 . ': ';
	}

// And the end tag needs to be set for formatting
function endTag($parser, $data){
	echo "<br />";
}

// These lines create the parser and then parse the data

$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();

// Sets the functions for start and end tags
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startTag", "endTag");

// Sets the function for the contents/data
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "contents");

// Open the xml feed for reading
$fp = fopen($file, "r");

// Read the file and store a variable
$data = fread($fp, 80000);

// Parse the document, if it faults out tell them where/why.



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



// Free the memory used to create the parser
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);

// Close xml file as we are done.
fclose($fp);
?>

PHP:

The key - somewhere in there the ability to write to a text
file the data that is parsed by the xml and script.

Any help is appreciated.

Thought - should the writing portion be split up into
my functions?

 

header('Content-type: text/plain');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="newname.text"');
readfile('yourxml.xml');

try this one..

 

thats not what i really need tho.

That would just output to a text file that can be downloaded.

I want it stored on the server - thus the part of writing to a text file
being incorporated to what is there.


Thanks tho!
