AWS A Brief Introduction Using PHP tutorial

[Best.Flash]

Dan - or anyone who would know :)

I've been scratching my hand all afternoon on this one.

Using your AWS XML-PHP tutorial (http://www.websitepublisher.net/article/aws-php/) as a guide how would I go about parsing the Authors and Customer reviews into PHP as their another level down in the XML?

Example:

<Authors>
<Author>Derek Franklin</Author>
<Author>Jobe Makar</Author>
</Authors>

As per your tutorial im trying the following to set the variable(s):


elseif($d_ar[$j]['tag'] == 'Authors'){
$Authors = $d_ar[$j]['value'];
}


thanks for your help!

Hey Best.Flash, look closer in the tutorial, for items like author or reviews that could have multiple items the variable you set is an array. For authors, look for the <Author> XML tag (not <Authors>).


elseif($d_ar[$j]['tag'] == 'Author'){
$Author[] = $d_ar[$j]['value'];
}


foreach($Author as $auth){
echo '<a href="search.php?q=' .$auth. '&t=Author">' .$auth. '</a> ';
}

I tried to use this code in the browse.php script but I have the authors repeated themselves all the time.

result 1
Neil A. Campbell, Jane B. Reece
result 2
Neil A. Campbell, Jane B. Reece, Gerard J. Tortora, Berdell R. Funke, Christine L. Case

and so on.
It must be something like a break or someting but can't find the way to do it.

problem also with the ProductDescription.
If you use use browse.php in heavy mode and add the following line

elseif($d_ar[$j]['tag'] == 'ProductDescription') {$ProductDescription = $d_ar[$j]['value'];}

The ProductDescription appears also in the records where there is no productdescription
