a little XML help?
So I have these standings in an XML page which somebody does here:
http://erikberg.com/rss/nba.xml (( also have this XML Feed...not sure which to use
http://erikberg.com/nba/standings.xml )) and as you can tell they have a link to get more detailed standings as well.
there is a site I know that uses this feed on their site at :
http://realballers.com/standings/
Basically I wanna be able to use this feed on my site as well. I have an account on
http://feed.informer.com/ to make feeds, but I don't think that's how I should do it...as it;s not working properly. Also would be nice to have it in it's own css colors even if it's just a feed.
I guess my question is how do I accomplish this and what's the best way to do it? Is it simpler then i'm making it out to be?
I APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE!!!!!!!!!!

Yea. How do I take that particular XML feed and make it appear on my site and update by itself. And additionally how do I do it so as to edit it with my own CSS colors as well if possible.

You need XML Parser.
Let me find it for you. I have it posted here on NP sometime ago.
Will update the thread in a moment.
PHP Code:
<?php
( 0 );
$file = "XMLFILEHERE" ;
$rss_channel = array();
$currently_writing = "" ;
$main = "" ;
$item_counter = 0 ;
startElement ( $parser , $name , $attrs ) {
$rss_channel , $currently_writing , $main ;
$name ) {
"RSS" :
"RDF:RDF" :
"ITEMS" :
$currently_writing = "" ;
"CHANNEL" :
$main = "CHANNEL" ;
"IMAGE" :
$main = "IMAGE" ;
$rss_channel [ "IMAGE" ] = array();
"ITEM" :
$main = "ITEMS" ;
$currently_writing = $name ;
endElement ( $parser , $name ) {
$rss_channel , $currently_writing , $item_counter ;
$currently_writing = "" ;
$name == "ITEM" ) {
$item_counter ++;
characterData ( $parser , $data ) {
$rss_channel , $currently_writing , $main , $item_counter ;
$currently_writing != "" ) {
$main ) {
"CHANNEL" :
$rss_channel [ $currently_writing ])) {
$rss_channel [ $currently_writing ] .= $data ;
$rss_channel [ $currently_writing ] = $data ;
"IMAGE" :
$rss_channel [ $main ][ $currently_writing ])) {
$rss_channel [ $main ][ $currently_writing ] .= $data ;
$rss_channel [ $main ][ $currently_writing ] = $data ;
"ITEMS" :
$rss_channel [ $main ][ $item_counter ][ $currently_writing ])) {
$rss_channel [ $main ][ $item_counter ][ $currently_writing ] .= $data ;
$rss_channel [ $main ][ $item_counter ][ $currently_writing ] = $data ;
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create ();
xml_set_element_handler ( $xml_parser , "startElement" , "endElement" );
xml_set_character_data_handler ( $xml_parser , "characterData" );
$fp = fopen ( $file , "r" ))) {
"could not open XML input" );
$data = fread ( $fp , 4096 )) {
xml_parse ( $xml_parser , $data , feof ( $fp ))) {
sprintf ( "XML error: %s at line %d" ,
xml_error_string ( xml_get_error_code ( $xml_parser )),
xml_get_current_line_number ( $xml_parser )));
xml_parser_free ( $xml_parser );
$rss_channel [ "ITEMS" ]))
"<font face='Verdana' color='#333333'>" ;
count ( $rss_channel [ "ITEMS" ]) > 0 )
$i = 0 ; $i < count ( $rss_channel [ "ITEMS" ]); $i ++)
$rss_channel [ "ITEMS" ][ $i ][ "LINK" ]))
"<a href=\"" . $rss_channel [ "ITEMS" ][ $i ][ "LINK" ] . "\"><font color='#333333'><b>" . $rss_channel [ "ITEMS" ][ $i ][ "TITLE" ] . "</b></font></a><br>" ;
"<font color=\"#333333\">" . $rss_channel [ "ITEMS" ][ $i ][ "TITLE" ] . "</font><br>" ;
$rss_channel [ "ITEMS" ][ $i ][ "DESCRIPTION" ] . "<p>" ;
"<b>There are no articles in this feed.</b>" ;
"</font>" ;
?>
