Yes, me again.

I just downloaded and installed Status2FTP, and I immediatly fell in love with it. It does what it has to do, and now I want to use it in my signature, as replacement for Web2Messenger.

This means that I have to replace this:

code:

---

<Details>
<Username>[c=1]<simply[b]_me>[/b][/c=12]</Username>
<PSM><:o) Messenger Plus! [c=7]Live[/c] is arrived! <:o)</PSM>
<Status>Online</Status>
</Details>

---

into this:

code:

---

$nick = "[c=1]<simply[b]_me>[/b][/c=12]";
$psm = "<:o) Messenger Plus! [c=7]Live[/c] is arrived! <:o)";
$status = "Online";

---

So far, I managed to create a function called getXMLData($i) to return the value for $nick, $psm and $status:

code:

---

function getXMLData($i) {
global $content2;
$data = str_replace(array("<Details>","</Details>"), "", $content2);
$data0 = preg_replace("/<Username>(.*?)<\/Username>/","\\1", $data);
$data1 = preg_replace("/<PSM>(.*?)<\/PSM>/","\\1", $data);
$data2 = preg_replace("/<Status>(.*?)<\/Status>/","\\1", $data);
eval("return \$data$i;");
}

---

$content2 is the variable containing the XML file, but unfortunaly it doesn't works like I wanted. As you can see, it only drops the <Username> and </Username> tags, where it has to drop these tags and everything before and behind it. And with my small knowledge of regular expressions, I'm back to ask the Messenger Plus! Live community.

Any replies or questions are more than welcome!

Woops! Already solved!

code:

---

//Get the XML data and return it
function getXMLData($i) {
    global $content2;
    $data = str_replace(array("<Details>","</Details>"), "", $content2);
    $data0 = preg_replace("/^<Username>(.*?)<\/Username>(.*?)$/","\\1", $data);
    $data1 = preg_replace("/^(.*?)<PSM>(.*?)<\/PSM>(.*?)$/","\\2", $data);
    $data2 = preg_replace("/^(.*?)<Status>(.*?)<\/Status>(.*?)$/","\\2", $data);
    eval("return \$data$i;");
}

Heh... well, thanks for reading.

First of all thanks for loving my script

Secondly, why do it that way when you can use SimpleXML (PHP5 only)

code:

---

<?php
$xml = simplexml_load_file('details.xml');
$Username = $xml->Username;
$PSM = $xml->PSM;
$Status = $xml->Status;
?>

---

Insted of eval you could of used variable varibles
http://php.net/language.variables.variable

you shouldnt preg_replace that , either use simplexml (like eljellybeanfishdog said) or use preg_match and use its matches variable to extract the results

http://php.net/preg_match

Hmm... it seems like that XML thing doesn't work too great. Let's see...

Can you give me an example?


BTW, still didn't found a solution to strip the ·$(color) tags...

code:

---

$string = preg_replace("/·\$[0-9]{1,2}/", "", $string);
