OnLinux

I've been playing around with it and there's something I can't figure out.

The XML is based of an RSS Feed. Here's a example of XML I am trying to play with.

<item>
   <title>Dinner at Chilis</title>
   <link></link>
   <description>
       [!CDATA[<div><b>Location:</b> Chilis </div>
                     <div><b>Start Time:</b> 4/21/2010</div>
                     <div><b>Description:</b> Dinner at Chilis </div>]]>
    </description>
</item>

Here's a part of the XSL I've been playing around.
<xsl:template match="item">
    <xsl:value-of select="title"/>
    <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="substring-before(substring-after(description, ']]'), '[CDATA[') "/>
</xsl:template>

I'm not sure why it's not displaying the string.

My previous code was like this:
<xsl:template match="item">
<xsl:value-of select="title"/>
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="description"/>
</xsl:template>
It displays, but I won't have control on how to select the specific text in the description tag.

It's something I want to learn how to do it. I'm still a beginner in XSL so my apologies for being a newbie. Tongue out

EDIT*
Ok. I got it.
It displays only the first line though. lol. Here's the code I have right now.
<xsl:template match="item">
<xsl:value-of select="title"/>
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="substring-before(substring-after(description, '<div>'), '</div>') "/>
</xsl:template>

So far so good. I'll play around a bit more.

libxml writer - XML writer

<?php 
 
// THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL - DO NOT FORGET TO SET THIS 
@date_default_timezone_set("GMT"); 
 
$writer = new XMLWriter(); 
 // Output directly to the user 

$writer->openURI('php://output'); 
 $writer->startDocument('1.0'); 
 
$writer->setIndent(4); 
 
// declare it as an rss document 
$writer->startElement('rss'); 
 $writer->writeAttribute('version', '2.0'); 
 $writer->writeAttribute('xmlns:atom', 'http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'); 
 

$writer->startElement("channel"); 
 //---------------------------------------------------- 
//$writer->writeElement('ttl', '0'); 
 $writer->writeElement('title', 'Latest Products'); 
 $writer->writeElement('description', 'This is the latest products from our website.'); 
 $writer->writeElement('link', 'http://www.domain.com/link.htm'); 
 $writer->writeElement('pubDate', date("D, d M Y H:i:s e")); 
     $writer->startElement('image'); 
         $writer->writeElement('title', 'Latest Products'); 
         $writer->writeElement('link', 'http://www.domain.com/link.htm'); 
         $writer->writeElement('url', 'http://www.iab.net/media/image/120x60.gif'); 
         $writer->writeElement('width', '120'); 
         $writer->writeElement('height', '60'); 
     $writer->endElement(); 
//---------------------------------------------------- 
 


//---------------------------------------------------- 
$writer->startElement("item"); 
 $writer->writeElement('title', 'New Product 8'); 
 $writer->writeElement('link', 'http://www.domain.com/link.htm'); 
 $writer->writeElement('description', 'Description 8 Yeah!'); 
 $writer->writeElement('guid', 'http://www.domain.com/link.htm?tiem=1234'); 
 
$writer->writeElement('pubDate', date("D, d M Y H:i:s e")); 
 
$writer->startElement('category'); 
     $writer->writeAttribute('domain', 'http://www.domain.com/link.htm'); 
     $writer->text('May 2008'); 
 $writer->endElement(); // Category 
 
// End Item 
$writer->endElement(); 
 //---------------------------------------------------- 


// End channel 
$writer->endElement(); 
 
// End rss 
$writer->endElement(); 
 
$writer->endDocument(); 

$writer->flush(); 
 ?>

The above will give you this:

Code:

 <?xml version="1.0"?> 
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"> 
<channel> 
 <title>Latest Products</title>

A Perl module is a discrete component of software for the Perl
programming language. Technically, it is a particular set of
conventions for using Perl's package mechanism that has become
universally adopted.[discuss] A module defines its source code to be
in a package (much like a Java package), the Perl mechanism for
defining namespaces, e.g. CGI or Net::FTP or XML::Parser; the file
structure mirrors the namespace structure (e.g. the source code for
Net::FTP is in Net/FTP.pm). Furthermore, a module is the Perl
equivalent of the class when object-oriented programming is employed

Now we'll see an easy way to manage them, install, list, delete
(uninstall) from the command line.

Perlmod is a program that will help you manage Perl Modules.
