Adding PHP to the header
 
I have a set of PHP scripts that formats and displays dynamic xml data in nice little HTML tables...

I want to include these in my header.

I've searched around and found how to add the PHP to templates, but I can't find the actual PHP file the header is in.

If I read everything correctly I want to add this:

PHP Code:
<?php
ob_start();
include 'displayxml.php';
$displayxml = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean()
?>
to WHAT file?

(and then place $displayxml in my header template)

You can put this in a plugin (except the php open and close tags) in the 'global_start' hook location.

Hi,

Thanks for the lead.

This is what I have right now as a plugin (in global_start):

PHP Code:
ob_start();
$xml_file = "/home/path/to/info/data.xml";
echo "<table border=0 cellpadding=5>";


function startElement($parser_instance, $element_name, $attrs) {
    switch($element_name) {
        case "LABELONE"     :    echo "<tr><td>";
                            break;
        case "VALUE" :    echo "<td>";
                            break;
        case "LABELTWO" :    echo "<a";
                            break;
     }

 }
function characterData($parser_instance, $xml_data) {
    echo $xml_data;

 }
 
function endElement($parser_instance, $element_name) {
    switch($element_name) {
        case "LABELONE"     :    echo "";
                            break;
       case "VALUE"   :    echo "</td>";
                            break;
       case "LABELTWO" :    echo "></a></td></tr>";
                            break;
    }

 }
 
$parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($parser, "startElement", "endElement");

 xml_set_character_data_handler($parser, "characterData");
if (!($filehandler = fopen($xml_file, "r"))) {
    die("could not open XML input");

 }
while ($data = fread($filehandler, 4096)) {
    if (!xml_parse($parser, $data, feof($filehandler))) {
        die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",
                    xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($parser)),
                    xml_get_current_line_number($parser)));
    }

 }
fclose($filehandler);

 xml_parser_free($parser);
echo "</table>";
$displayxml = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean() 
Now I should be able to put $displayxml in the header template and it will spit out my html, correct? Because it isn't showing anything at all...

The PHP works standalone, or if I include it in one of my own pages. If you are interested in seeing what this ugly mess of code spits out, it is right here ;) http://www.friendcodes.com/forums/te...d_mkdsTOP5.php

Try putting a 'global $displayxml;' somewhere in your script (before the assignment of $displayxml).

That was it!

Thank you so much
