Hi,

I was wondering how would you display articles with an XML database. So far I figured out the code

PHP Code:

<?php
$title = "";
?>
<?php
require 'header.php';
?>
<div align="center"><div id="games">
hello
</div>

<div id="news">
<script type="text/javascript">
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("news.xml");

document.write("<h2>" + xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("title")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + "</h2>");
document.write(xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("author")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + "<br>" + "<br>");
document.write(xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("message")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + "<br>" + "<br>");

</script>
</div>
<?php
require 'footer.php';
?>

but this only displays one article. How would I make it display let's say five? and if you could could you explain why. I'm still new to it an am trying to learn, so I'd like an explanation.

Thanks

Place it in a loop.

Thanks for the reply. Are you telling me to do something like this...

PHP Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("news.xml");

document.write("<h2>" + xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("title")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + "</h2>");
document.write(xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("author")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + "<br>" + "<br>");
document.write(xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("message")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
</script>
<p><br></p>
<script type="text/javascript">
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("news.xml");

x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("title");
for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
  {
  document.write("<h2>");
  document.write(x[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
  document.write("</h2>");
  } 
x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("author");
for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
  {
  document.write(x[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
  document.write("<br>");
  document.write("<br>");
  } 
x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("message");
for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
  {
  document.write(x[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
  document.write("<br>");
  } 
</script> 


This only works if I have only two articles in my XML file. If I have more than two it shows the titles, authors, and messages together. Like I said, I'm really new to XML and am still trying to learn. The w3schools tutorial isn't very clear. If you could show me some code with an explanation on why that's the code you came up with it would be great.

Thanks

anybody know how to fix this?
