I have a php code. this code outputs an HTML. I need to modify this code to output an XML. ANy ideas as to how shall I go about doing this. Is there any XML library available that directly does the job or do i have to manually create each node.?
My php code is:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<style>
a {text-decoration:none; color:black;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$a=$_POST["title"];
$b=$_POST["name"];
$c="http://www.imdb.com/search/title?title=".urlencode($a)."&title_type=".urlencode($b);
$d=file_get_contents($c);
preg_match_all('/<div id="main">
(No results.)/', $d,$nore);
preg_match_all('#<img src="(.*)"#Us', $d, $img);//image
preg_match_all('/<a\s*href="\/title\/tt[0-9]*\/">((?:[a-z]*(?:&*[.]*)?\s*-*[a-z]*[0-9]*[^<])+)/i',$d,$tit); //title
preg_match_all('/<span\sclass="year_type">\s*\(([\d]*)/',$d,$ye); //movie year working fine
preg_match_all('#<span class="credit">
Dir: (.*)
(?: With:)?#Us',$d,$dir); //director
preg_match_all('/<span class="rating-rating"><span class="value">([\w]*.[\w]*)/i',$d,$rat); //rating
preg_match_all('/<a\shref="(\/title\/tt[0-9]*\/)"\s*[title]+/i',$d,$lin); //link
for($i=0;$i<5;$i++)
{
if (@$rat[1][$i]=="-")
$rat[1][$i]="N/A";
}
for($i=0;$i<5;$i++)
{
if(@$dir[1][$i]=="")
$dir[1][$i]="N/A";
}
if(count($tit[1])>5)
$cnt=5;
else
$cnt=count($tit[1]);
echo"<center><b>Search Result</b></center>";
echo "<br/>";
echo "<center><b>\"$a\"of type\"$b\":</b></center>";
echo"<br/>";
if(@$nore[1][0]=="No results.")
echo "<center><b>No movies found!</b></center>";
else
{
echo "<center><table border=1><tr><td><center>Image</center></td><td><center>Title</center></td><td><center>Year</center></td><td><center>Director</center></td><td><center>Rating(10)</center></td><td><center>Link to Movie</center></td></tr>";
for($j=0;$j<$cnt;$j++)
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>".@$img[0][$j+2]."</td>";
echo "<td><center>".@$tit[1][$j]."</center></td>";
echo "<td><center>".@$ye[1][$j]."</center></td>";
echo "<td><center>".@$dir[1][$j]."</center></td>";
echo "<td><center>".@$rat[1][$j]."</center></td>";
echo '<td><center><a style="text-decoration:underline; color:blue;" href="http://www.imdb.com'.@$lin[1][$j].'">Details</a></center></td>';
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table></center>";
}
?>
</body>
</html>
