xml_parse

This is a follow up to the parser class posted by neoyahuu at yahoo dot com. The xml_set_character_data_handler function falls prey to the weird splitting caused by special characters (i.e. new lines whenever an umlaut is found) - my fix just uses concatenation to stop this from happening. This is a great function otherwise. The code:

<?php

class xx_xml {

// XML parser variables
var $parser;
var $name;
var $attr;
var $data = array();
var $stack = array();
var $keys;
var $path;

// either you pass url atau contents.
// Use 'url' or 'contents' for the parameter
var $type;

// function with the default parameter value
function xx_xml($url='http://www.opocot.com', $type='url') {
$this->type = $type;
$this->url = $url;
$this->parse();
}

// parse XML data
function parse()
{
$data = '';
$this->parser = xml_parser_create ("UTF-8");
xml_set_object($this->parser, $this);
xml_set_element_handler($this->parser, 'startXML', 'endXML');
xml_set_character_data_handler($this->parser, 'charXML');

xml_parser_set_option($this->parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, false);

if ($this->type == 'url') {
// if use type = 'url' now we open the XML with fopen

if (!($fp = @fopen($this->url, 'rb'))) {
$this->error("Cannot open {$this->url}");
}

while (($data = fread($fp, 8192))) {
if (!xml_parse($this->parser, $data, feof($fp))) {
$this->error(sprintf('XML error at line %d column %d',
xml_get_current_line_number($this->parser),
xml_get_current_column_number($this->parser)));
}
}
} else if ($this->type == 'contents') {
// Now we can pass the contents, maybe if you want
// to use CURL, SOCK or other method.
$lines = explode("\n",$this->url);
foreach ($lines as $val) {
if (trim($val) == '')
continue;
$data = $val . "\n";
if (!xml_parse($this->parser, $data)) {
echo $data.'
';
$this->error(sprintf('XML error at line %d column %d',
xml_get_current_line_number($this->parser),
xml_get_current_column_number($this->parser)));
}
}
}
}

function startXML($parser, $name, $attr) {
$this->stack[$name] = array();
$keys = '';
$total = count($this->stack)-1;
$i=0;
foreach ($this->stack as $key => $val) {
if (count($this->stack) > 1) {
if ($total == $i)
$keys .= $key;
else
$keys .= $key . '|'; // The saparator
}
else
$keys .= $key;
$i++;
}
if (array_key_exists($keys, $this->data)) {
$this->data[$keys][] = $attr;
} else
$this->data[$keys] = $attr;
$this->keys = $keys;
}

function endXML($parser, $name) {
end($this->stack);
if (key($this->stack) == $name)
array_pop($this->stack);
}

function charXML($parser, $data) {
if (trim($data) != '')
@$startFrom = count($this->data[$this->keys])-1; // fixes weird splitting (bug?)
@$startFrom = $startFrom == -1 ? $startFrom = 0 : $startFrom;
@$this->data[$this->keys]['data'][$startFrom] .= trim(str_replace("\n", '', $data));
}

function error($msg) {
echo "

Error: $msg

";
exit();
}
}
