how do i parse an xml page to output its data pieces to the way i want?
- by ida
here is the page i want to parse
(the api link i gave is just a dev test so its ok to be public)
http://api.scribd.com/api?method=docs.getList&api_key=2apz5npsqin3cjlbj0s6m
the output im looking for is something like this (for now)
Doc_id: 29638658
access_key: key-11fg37gwmer54ssq56l3
secret_password: 1trinfqri6cnv3gf6rnl
title: Sample
description: k
thumbnail_url: http://i6.scribdassets.com/public/images/uploaded/152418747/xTkjCwQaGf_thumbnail.jpeg
page_count: 100
ive tried everything i can find on the internet but nothing works good. i have this one script
<?php
$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();
$xmlDoc->load("http://api.scribd.com/api?method=docs.getList&api_key=2apz5npsqin3cjlbj0s6m");
$x = $xmlDoc->documentElement;
foreach ($x->childNodes AS $item) {
print $item->nodeName . " = " . $item->nodeValue;
}
?>
its output comes out like this:

resultset =
29638658
