PHP Parsing of XML Response from API -


i have xml response i'm trying extract single item from, here response:

<getproductstockresponse>   <getproductstockresult>     <productstock>       <product>         <sku>aa-hf461</sku>         <stock>23</stock>       </product>     </productstock>   </getproductstockresult> </getproductstockresponse>

if echo screen is displayed as:

aa-hf461 23

i tried using simplexml_load_string it's not working, nothing comes out:

$res = $soapclient->getproductstock($q_param);     $clfresponse = $res->getproductstockresult; echo $clfresponse; // works - see above  $xml = simplexml_load_string($clfresponse); echo $xml; // empty          echo $xml->stock; // empty

am making schoolboy error?

echo $xml print string value of outer tag of xml. since getproductstockresponse doesn't have text content, there no output. if want dump full xml string, use

echo $xml->asxml();

echo $xml->stock; empty, outer element not contain <stock> tag. if want drill down it, need access via each level of document:

echo (int) $xml->getproductstockresult->productstock->product->stock; // 23

(the typecasts important when dealing simplexml elements, see this answer more details)

if want able access elements level of document, can use simplexml's xpath method, this:

echo (int) $xml->xpath('//stock')[0]; // 23

this print first <stock> element level of document, in general it's better idea navigate document according structure.

finally, if testing via browser, aware xml elements not render correctly unless escape output:

echo htmlspecialchars($xml->asxml());

android - InAppBilling registering BroadcastReceiver in AndroidManifest -

i'm implementing inapp billing in android app. works well, however, i'm trying decouple broadcast receiver activity manifest. suggestion in android's trivialdrive sample: // important: dynamically register broadcast messages updated purchases. // register receiver here instead of <receiver> in manifest // because call getpurchases() @ startup, therefore can ignore // broadcasts sent while app isn't running. // note: registering listener in activity bad idea, done here // because sample. regardless, receiver must registered after // iabhelper setup, before first call getpurchases(). currently there's class extends broadcastreceiver : public class iabbroadcastreceiver extends broadcastreceiver { /** * intent action receiver should filter for. */ public static final string action = "com.android.vending.billing.purchases_updated"; private final iabbroadcastlistener mlistener; public iabbroadcastreceiver(iabbroadcastlistener listener) { m...

sql server - Why does Linq-to-SQL add unnecessary COUNT()? -

here tables: create table customer ( cid int primary key, name varchar(32) ) create table ord ( oid int primary key, cid int foreign key references customer, address varchar(20) ) here's linq-to-sql statement: var aaa = c in db.customer select new { c, o = c.ord.tolist() }; and here's inexplicable query generated linq-to-sql: select [t0].[cid] [cid], [t0].[name] [name], [t1].[oid] [oid], [t1].[cid] [cid2], [t1].[address] [address], (select count(*) [dbo].[ord] [t2] [t2].[cid] = [t0].[cid]) [value] [dbo].[customer] [t0] left outer join [dbo].[ord] [t1] on [t1].[cid] = [t0].[cid] order [t0].[cid], [t1].[oid] i want understand how rid of count(*) part. it's entirely uncalled for! linq needs count(*) in order determine number of entries returned o = c.ord.tolist() .
