XML Parsing

[Aravinthan]

Hi, I have a code that parses this xml file:
http://www.elorating.com/ranking-services/ratingquery?name=_ŴӨŴ_&mode=SP&laddertype=51&game=3
Code:

<?php
 
$xml_name_key = "*RATINGS*CLANRATING*NAME";
$xml_abbrev_key = "*RATINGS*CLANRATING*ABBREV";
$xml_rank_key = "*RATINGS*CLANRATING*RANK";
$xml_rate_key = "*RATINGS*CLANRATING*RATE";
$xml_active_key = "*RATINGS*CLANRATING*ACTIVE";
$story_array = array();
$counter = 0;
class xml_story{
    var $name, $abbrev, $rank, $rate, $ractive;
}
function startTag($parser, $data){
    global $current_tag;
    $current_tag .= "*$data";
}
function endTag($parser, $data){
    global $current_tag;
    $tag_key = strrpos($current_tag, '*');
    $current_tag = substr($current_tag, 0, $tag_key);
}
function contents($parser, $data){
    global $current_tag, $xml_name_key, $xml_abbrev_key, $xml_rank_key, $xml_rate_key, $xml_active_key, $counter, $story_array;
    switch($current_tag){
        case $xml_name_key:
            $story_array[$counter] = new xml_story();
            $story_array[$counter]->name = $data;
            break;
         case $xml_abbrev_key:
    $story_array[$counter]->abbrev = $data;
    break;
        case $xml_rank_key:
            $story_array[$counter]->rank = $data;
            break;
        case $xml_rate_key:
            $story_array[$counter]->rate = $data;
            break;
        case $xml_active_key:
            $story_array[$counter]->active = $data;
            $counter++;
           break;
    }
}
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startTag", "endTag");
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "contents");
$fp = fopen("[URL]http://www.elorating.com/ranking-services/ratingquery?name=_%C5%B4%D3%A8%C5%B4_&mode=SP&laddertype=51&game=3[/URL]", "r") or die("Could not open file");

$data = fread($fp, 4096)  or die("Could not read file");
if(!xml_parse($xml_parser, $data))
{
    die("Error on line " . xml_get_error_code($xml_parser));
}
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
 
?>

And the code that shows the data:

<table>
 <?php
for($x=0;$x<count($story_array);$x++){
  echo "<tr><td>Name: </td>" ;
  echo "<td>" . $story_array[$x]->name . "</td></tr>";
  echo "<tr><td>Abbrev: </td>" ;
  echo "<td>" . $story_array[$x]->abbrev . "</td></tr>";
  echo "<tr><td>Rank: </td>" ;
  echo "<td>" . $story_array[$x]->rank . "</td></tr>";
  echo "<tr><td>Rate: </td>" ;
  echo "<td>" . round($story_array[$x]->rate, 4) . "</td></tr>";

}
?>
</table>

But as you can see The name and abbrev tag as special characters,
and when it outputs it doesnt show it the same way:
http://www.warriorsofwar.co.nr
How can I change the script to output the same results, or at least Warriors of War normally and WoW normally?
I am sure its stuff like:

If name=ŴầРthen W

Something like that, but I aint sure...

Thanks for your help.

Whoa, this seems really complicated comparing to SimpleXML whose functions are integrated in PHP core

 

[Aravinthan]

TO get good results, you have to work hard

 

[scorch94]

Lol, yeah but... as we say here in Serbia "Don't invent hot water"

Hey, this is just a warning guys, but please stop spamming. We have the forum "Off Topic" for that x)

Anyways, I'll take a look into this, and I'll post back if I can find a solution to your problem...

You're specifying the page's character set as iso-8859-1. So you need to change this:

<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

to this:

<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
