hello all,

I am working on a script to open xml file, and find certain conditions and correct the information under those conditions. My code is rather junky and unoptimized at the moment, while I get the process down.

PHP Code:


			
<?php
$file = "contactLast.xml";

function contents($parser, $data){
 //information is in this area
 $info = $data;

 if ($info == "Hewlett-Packard Company")
 {
 correct();
   }
 else {
  
    $handle = fopen('XXX.xml', 'a');
    $text = $info;
    fwrite($handle, $text);
 }
  }

function correct()
{
    $handle = fopen('XXX.xml', 'a');
    $text = 'Next';
    fwrite($handle, $text);
}

function startTag($parser, $data){
  $handle = fopen('XXX.xml', 'a');
    $text = $data;
    fwrite($handle, $text);
}
function endTag($parser, $data){
 $handle = fopen('XXX.xml', 'w');
    $text = $data;
    fwrite($handle, $text);
}

$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();

xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startTag", "endTag");

xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "contents");

$fp = fopen($file, "r");

$data = fread($fp, 2000000);

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);

?>

Here is a sample of my xml file

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<row>
    <Cell ss:StyleID="s73"><Data ss:Type="String">Service</Data></Cell>
    <Cell ss:StyleID="s73"><Data ss:Type="String">Status</Data></Cell>
    <Cell ss:StyleID="s73"><Data ss:Type="String">Body</Data></Cell>
    <Cell ss:StyleID="s73"><Data ss:Type="String">Officer</Data></Cell>
    <Cell ss:StyleID="s73"><Data ss:Type="String">Service</Data></Cell>
    <Cell ss:StyleID="s73"><Data ss:Type="String">Status</Data></Cell>
</row>
<row>
   <Row>
    <Cell ss:StyleID="s77"/><Data ss:Type="String">Info Here</Data>
    <Cell ss:StyleID="s77"/><Data ss:Type="String">Info Here</Data>
    <Cell ss:StyleID="s77"/><Data ss:Type="String">Info Here</Data>
    <Cell ss:StyleID="s77"/><Data ss:Type="String">Info Here</Data>
    <Cell ss:StyleID="s77"/><Data ss:Type="String">Info Here</Data></Cell>
    <Cell ss:StyleID="s77"><Data ss:Type="String">Member</Data></Cell>
</row>

Its not done in a "conventional" xml fashion. How do I go about doing this? I am trying to write the new information back to a new xml file, or would it be better to write it back to the same one?
