What I am trying to do is send a url request to multimaps which in
turn gives me a xml form which looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <Results xmlns="http://clients.multimap.com/API" xmlns:xsi="http://
www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://
clients.multimap.com/API http://clients.multimap.com/Schema/geocode_1.2.xsd"
locationCount="1">
- <Location geocodeQuality="4" geocodeScore="1.000" zoomFactor="16">
- <Address>
<PostalCode></PostalCode>
<DisplayName></DisplayName>
<CountryCode></CountryCode>
</Address>
- <Point>
<Lat></Lat>
<Lon>-</Lon>
</Point>
</Location>
</Results>
What I would like to do is output the lat and lon tags into html, but
I am quite new to php and keep coming up against problems. If anyone
can point me in the right direction that would be great. So far I have
got:
<?php
function produce_XML_object_tree($raw_XML) {
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
try {
$xmlTree = new SimpleXMLElement($raw_XML);
} catch (Exception $e) {
// Something went wrong.
$error_message = 'SimpleXMLElement threw an exception.';
foreach(libxml_get_errors() as $error_line) {
$error_message .= "\t" . $error_line->message;
}
trigger_error($error_message);
return false;
}
return $xmlTree;
}
$url = "http://developer.multimap.com/API/geocode/1.2/
OA10102712756649236?qs=";
$postcode ="";
$fullurl = ($url. $postcode);
$xml_feed_url = $fullurl;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $xml_feed_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$xml = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$feed = produce_XML_object_tree($xml);
$second_entry_title = $feed->point[0]->lat;
?>
<html>
<h3><?php echo $second_entry_title ?></h3>
</html>
Now I think I am mixing up how SimpleXML works, as I am getting a
"Trying to get property of non-object" with reference to <?php echo
$second_entry_title ?> any help would be greatly appriciated.
