xml Parser for PHP site

[crounauer]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help with this xml parser. I have got as far as I can, but just can't fugure out why its not working.

Thanks,
Simon.

<?php

$insideitem = false;
$tag = "";
$hotel_name = "";
$hotel_address = "";
$hotel_link = "";

function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs) {
global $insideitem, $tag, $hotel_name, $hotel_address, $hotel_link;
if ($insideitem) {
$tag = $name;
} elseif ($name == "HOTEL") {
$insideitem = true;
}
}

function endElement($parser, $name) {
global $insideitem, $tag, $hotel_name, $hotel_address, $hotel_link;
if ($name == "HOTEL") {
printf("<dt><b><a href='%s'>%s</

http://xml.laterooms.com/xml_1.php3?pid=P1LAT&htl_ref=73737,3&date=2005-08-24&nights=1a></b></dt>",

trim($link),htmlspecialchars(trim($title)));
printf("<dd>%s</dd>",htmlspecialchars(trim($description)));
$hotel_name = "";
$hotel_address = "";
$hotel_link = "";
$insideitem = false;
}
}

function characterData($parser, $data) {
global $insideitem, $tag, $hotel_name, $hotel_address, $hotel_link;
if ($insideitem) {
switch ($tag) {
case "HOTEL_NAME":
$hotel_name .= $data;
break;
case "HOTEL_ADDRESS":
$hotel_address .= $data;
break;
case "HOTEL_LINK":
$hotel_link .= $data;
break;
}
}
}

$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement");
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "characterData");
$fp = fopen("

http://xml.laterooms.com/xml_1.php3?pid=P1LAT&htl_ref=73737,3&date=2005-08-24&nights=1","r")

or die("Error reading XML data.");
while ($data = fread($fp, 4096))
xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp))
or die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",
xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),
xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));
fclose($fp);
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
