I have the following XML and code that I try to save it in mySQL. It is working but my problem is that I can not get the product id attribute.
SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1048 Column 'product_id' cannot be null
<product id="1111845">
<name><![CDATA[MadBiker 600]]></name>
<link>http://demo.com/p.MadBiker-600.1111845.html</link>
<price_with_vat>107.01</price_with_vat>
...
...
...
</product>
Here is the code
$xml = simplexml_load_file("demo.xml");
foreach($xml->products->product as $data) {
$sql = "INSERT INTO products (shop, product_id, name, price, shipping, manufacturer, stock, availability)
VALUES (:SHOP, :ID, :NAME, :PRICE, :SHIPPING, :MANUFACTURER, :STOCK, :AVAILABILITY)";
$stmt = $dbh->prepare($sql);
"ID" => $data->product[id] ,
"NAME" => $data->name,
"PRICE" => $data->price_with_vat,
How to do this?
Your foreach
loop iterates over <product>
nodes already:
foreach ($xml->products->product as $data) {
//...
}
So in this case, $data
already represents <product>
and you don't want to use $data->product
. Then it is just a matter of referencing the ['id']
attribute by array key on $data
itself so:
"ID" => (string)$data['id']
(Don't forget to cast it to a string - and the other nodes will need the same treatment via (string)
)
"NAME" => (string)$data->name,
"PRICE" => (string)$data->price_with_vat,
The fact that PHP didn't show other warnings suggests you don't have display_errors
on. Always when developing code, use
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
Or set them in php.ini.
Instead of using
$data->product['id'],
$data->name,
$data->price_with_vat,
use
$data['product'][0]
$data['name']
$data['price_with_vat']
Try (int)$data->product['id']
, you need to cast attributes when using SimpleXML.
