Here is what I want to accomplish.
I have many pages with products tests, and I need to create a price comparison for the specific product of this page. To do that, I have to identify the product of the page to query my database.
I thought the best way was to create a custom HTML tag with the name of the product and search for it in the page to put it in a PHP variable.
If this is the good way to do it, how can I achieve this? I'm not a PHP developer and I saw something about DOMelement and some code which looks like exactly what I need to do.
<?php
$xml = <<< XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<books>
<book>Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture</book>
<book>Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Software Design</book>
<book>Clean Code</book>
</books>
XML;
$dom = new DOMDocument;
$dom->loadXML($xml);
$books = $dom->getElementsByTagName('book');
foreach ($books as $book) {
echo $book->nodeValue, PHP_EOL;
}
?>
This is for XML but it should work for HTML as well. The only thing is, how can I parse the current HTML page with this DOMelement?
Is this the way to do it? If so, how would you do it?
EDIT :
Sorry if it was not clear, but I understand what ArtisiticPhoenix is saying and this is why my approach will probably not work.
What I have is an HTML page with a review of a product, I want to add a price comparison for this product at the bottom of the article. My database is already setup with prices from different shops. Here is the code I wrote to get the values from my database:
<?php
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
$result = mysqli_query($conn,"select p.Nom_produit,
b.Nom_boutique,
b.logo_boutique,
pp.Prix_produit,
pp.Prix_livraion,
pp.Prix_produit + pp.Prix_livraion as Prix_total,
pp.url_produit
from Boutiques b
Prix_produit pp
Produits p
where P.id_produit = pp.id_produit
and b.id_boutique = pp.id_boutique
and p.Nom_Produit = '.$NOM_PROD'
HAVING pp.date_maj = max(date_maj)
order by Prix_produit+Prix_livraison asc LIMIT 5");
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// output data of each row
$table_resultats .= "
$table_resultats .= "<table>"
$table_resultats .= "<tr>"
$table_resultats .= "<th>Logo</th>"
$table_resultats .= "<th>Nom boutique</th>"
$table_resultats .= "<th>Nom Produit</th>"
$table_resultats .= "<th>Prix Produit</th>"
$table_resultats .= "<th>Prix Livraison</th>"
$table_resultats .= "<th>Prix Total</th>"
$table_resultats .= "<th>Acheter</th>"
$table_resultats .= "</tr>"
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$table_resultats .= "<tr>"
$table_resultats .= "<td>" . $row["logo_boutique"]. "</td>"
$table_resultats .= "<td>" . $row["Nom_boutique"]. "</td>"
$table_resultats .= "<td>" . $row["Nom_produit"]. "</td>"
$table_resultats .= "<td>" . $row["Prix_Produit"]. "</td>"
$table_resultats .= "<td>" . $row["Prix_livraison"]. "</td>"
$table_resultats .= "<td>" . $row["Prix_total"]. "</td>"
$table_resultats .= '<td><form action="'. $row["url_produit"]. '"><input type="button" value="Acheter"></form></td>'
$table_resultats .= "</tr>"
}
$table_resultats .= "</table>"
} else {
echo "Pas de résultats";
}
echo $table_resultats
$conn->close();
?>
My main problem is how to set the variable $NOM_PROD in my query. I have to make a link between the product and my article, and I'm looking for a way to create this link.
