Yeah there is a way around it but not so easy. It would be to rewrite a lot of the code since PHP 4 doesn’t have the iterators I’m using neither the same XML library, sorry.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in C:\wamp\www\images\xmlgen2_dir.php on line 32

First of all you need PHP 5 to be able to run this script. Second, be sure the code isn’t messed up, try to download again and see what happens!

Bye!

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\xampp\htdocs\test\xmlgen2_dir.php on line 62

Fatal error: Call to a member function saveXML() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\test\xmlgen2_dir.php on line 73

And I don’t understand (Maybe result for the first warning) this:
“To run the above command on Windows you may need to add the php executable to your system path. To do that type: set path = %path%;c:\directory\of\php\; in your command prompt then restart it.”

Do I need to make a change in my php.ini ?

Thanks

First of all, the first error indicates that the path to your file is wrong. The following errors are consequence of it. Fixing it will solve your problems.

Now, about the windows system path, it’s just to be able to call the php executable from wherever you are. If php.exe isn’t in your system path you would need to execute php from its own dir.

Bye!

Thanks!

Thanks for this great script which saved me a lot of development time. I hacked it a bit to restrict images listing on specified image types only:

[line32, added 2 lines]
// list of researched image file types
$imageTypeList = array(’gif’,'jpg’,'png’);

[line 153, modified 1 line]
if($file->isFile() AND in_array(end(explode(”.”, $file)),$imageTypeList)) {

Thanks.

Not in the present state but everything is possible, we just need to write the code

But unfortunately I don’t have much time now to implement this feature.

Bye.

{input:caption}
{callback:discoverOrientation}
{callback:filesize}

To out put like this eg:

Nitro1 video.flv
webweaver
video.flv

Nitro2 video.flv
Underground
video.flv

Nitro3 video.flv
Underground
video.flv

Could someone please help me with the code, to get the output correct?

it would be much appreciated
thanks

I was blocking your comments because they aren’t kind comments/questions. You are posting a huge bunch of code! That’s not how it works mate, sorry.

I’m not sure if I understand your problem. But you should be aware that this code is for XML files. It needs an XML file structure to work. It won’t work for plain text files if its what you are trying to do.

If you need more help, please be kind to us and describe your problem more clearly and without pasting all your source code.

I have really tried everthing lol i think I hope this is clear information its just when i change it on the model_dir i get errors and i dont know where to change the info so it matchs with the XML Generator DIR
your help would be great , cheers

// list of directories to be read with no trailing slash
$directoryList = array(’pictures’);

// name of the XML file
$xmlFileName = ‘gallery.xml’;

// name of the XML model
$xmlModelName = ‘model.xml’;

I am assuming the model.xml is how i want my gallery.xml to look like.

I am failing to create the gallery.xml. I get the error shown below.

Strict Standards: Non-static method DOMDocument::load() should not be called statically in H:\p3t\phpappfolder\public_php\Photo Album\xml_convert2.php on line 50

I wrote one in Classic ASP and what it does is write out the resulting XML file to the browser.

It looks like yours writes out to the images.xml file which seems to me to kind of defeat the purpose of dynamic calling and a sort of RESTful request from another server with (in Flash, crossdomain.xml privilages).

The reason I need to use a PHP script this time around is that the images are on an Apache file.

All I need to do is generate something compatible with Slideshow Pro, so a model like this,

As you can see, the only thing I’m interested in is calling a .PHP file with a directory name, and getting back the results in the browser via XML.

Flash can easily parse this, as well as any app. like HTTPTear which is good for RESTful access, or even just calling in FLEX.

I find calling URLs with parameters and obtaining back XML results far easier than calling the URL with params, and then having to access an .xml file it generates.

Can you help here?

Thanks.

What you want is pretty simple, just change this:

$dom->save($directory.’/’.$xmlFileName);

to this:

echo $dom->saveXML();

Hope this works as expected!

$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->load(’thenameofthefile.xml’);
