Ok so I did the xml parsing tutorial here (http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml_php_parse_intermediate.htm (http://www.kirupa.com/forum/../web/xml_php_parse_intermediate.htm))and got everything to work.
Now i want to make my XML file an RSS file so people can subcribe to the file. Now the problem is: As soon as i put
<rss version="2.0">
underneath
<?xml version="1.0"?>
the php file cant read the xml file anymore.
Does anyone know whats the problem here?

Ok maybe this will get you started
this is the original xml file:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <news> <story> <headline> Godzilla Attacks LA! </headline> <description>Equipped with a Japanese Mind-control device, the giant monster has attacked important harbours along the California coast. President to take action. </description> </story></news>and this is how i want it:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss version="2.0">
<news> <story> <headline> Godzilla Attacks LA! </headline> <description>Equipped with a Japanese Mind-control device, the giant monster has attacked important harbours along the California coast. President to take action. </description> </story></news>
and this is the php file to read the xml file:
<?php
$xml_file = "xml_intermediate.xml";
$xml_headline_key = "*NEWS*STORY*HEADLINE";
$xml_description_key = "*NEWS*STORY*DESCRIPTION";
$story_array = array();
$counter = 0;
class xml_story{
var $headline, $description;
}
function startTag($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, $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;
$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);
?>
