I am having trouble with a PHP script I have been piecing together for a real estate inventory management system. I have an XML document that is created from a form the user submits. That all works fine. Then I have a PHP page that displays the XML in an HTML table, one listing per row. It actually all works fine and looks good, but the problem is that it adds an extra entry at the beginning of the HTML table (it seems it runs through the script with no values first for some reason). I can't seem to find in my code where or why it adds this blank entry. It adds all other existing entries correctly.
Below is the PHP code:
Code: Select all
<?php
function start_tag($parser, $name, $attrs){
global $table_string;
$table_string .= "<tr>
<td width=\"100\" align=left bgcolor=#e7eee8 height=\"120px\" valign=\"middle\">
<span class=\"listingpadding03\"><img src=\"../images/thumbs/$attrs[title].gif\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" align=\"middle\" /></span>
</td>
<td width=\"90\" align=\"center\" bgcolor=#e7eee8 height=\"120px\">
<span class=\"listingpadding03\">$attrs[artist]</span>
</td>
<td width=\"170\" align=\"center\" bgcolor=#e7eee8 height=\"120px\">
$attrs[path]
</td>
<td width=\"120px\" align=\"center\" bgcolor=#e7eee8 height=\"120px\">
<span class=\"listingpadding03\">$attrs[squarefootage]</span>
</td>
<td width=\"120px\" align=\"center\" bgcolor=#e7eee8 height=\"120px\">
<span class=\"listingpadding03\"> $attrs[bedsbaths]</span>
</td>
<td width=\"90px\" align=\"right\" bgcolor=#e7eee8 height=\"120px\">
<span class=\"listingpadding03\">$attrs[price] </span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=\"6\" height=\"7\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\"></td>
</tr>";
}
function end_tag($parser, $name){}
$parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, 0);
xml_set_element_handler($parser, "start_tag", "end_tag");
$table_string = "<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" bgcolor=\"#e7eee8\" width=\"816\" class=\"phptablefont\">
<tr><td colspan=\"6\" bgcolor=\"#f6f6f6\"><img src=\"../images/list-fo.gif\" alt=\"Buffington Available Homes\" width=\"750\" height=\"22\" /></td></tr><tr><td colspan=\"6\"><img src=\"../images/list-head.gif\" alt=\"Buffington Available Homes\" width=\"816\" height=\"22\" /></td></tr>";
xml_parse($parser, file_get_contents("playlist.xml")) or die("Error parsing XML file");
$table_string .= "</table>";
echo $table_string;
?>
Code: Select all
<songs><song title="mckinleya" artist="testing" path="one" squarefootage="two" bedsbaths="three" price="four" /><song title="mckinleya" artist="testing" path="one" squarefootage="two" bedsbaths="three" price="four" /></songs>
Thanks again -
