This question already has an answer here:
I'm trying to get values from CDATA which are inside <b></b>
. with simpleXML, but so far without any good results. Here is some part of my xml file -
<item>
<title>
<![CDATA[

I know how to get values from this xml file like title, pudDate, link, but I don't know how can I get values from description tag so I can add them into database sorted by Price, District, Type, Image.
So far I tryed to save description tag into string and after that using explode() cut out parts with info I need, I have the right values but they come with tags. Some with tags.
This is what I was trying -
$url = "http://www.ss.lv/lv/real-estate/flats/riga/hand_over/rss/";
$result = simplexml_load_file($url);
foreach ($result->channel->item as $item) {
$title =(string)$item->title;
description = (string)$item->description;
$link = $item->link;
$pubDate = $item->pubDate;
// Cut out from description price
$parts = explode("Price: ", $description);
$pri= "";
for ($i = 1; $i < 2; $i++) {
$pri= $parts[$i];
}
$parts2 = explode("</b>", $pri);
for ($i = 1; $i < 2; $i++) {
$price= $parts2[0];
}
but I think my solution is absoloutly wrong and the result of cutting is - <b><b>300 or <b>650
so my question is: how can I get clean values out of my CDATA using something similar to
$pubDate = $item->pubDate
using something like that?
$description = (string)$item->description->b[0]
- to get right values from CDATA.
