On 1st case, we would just want to display the list of contents (videos, blogs etc.) with its rating (just displayed). On another case, show the rating and also allow viewer to […]
XPath allows traversing through XML elements and attributes very easily. For complex XMLs, using XPath can significantly reduce the complexity of coding. Good Tutorial of XPath can be viewed on W3C schools here. Reference on DomXPath can be viewed here. XPath is useful if someone needs to extract a specific node from an entire XML, […]
This is a program i created back in 2005, during my initial years on Java. Its a simple program that allows you to chop any files, into smaller segments. You can specify the number of segments you wish to chop into. For example, if you have a 50mb file, you can split it into 5 […]

So, I decided to create a simple Canada Post PHP Class. Canada Post’s specification requires parsing of XML files to retrieve values, hence I have used […]
This is a continuation of previous article, where I wrote on how to use PHP’5 DOM to read XML Files easily. But, for large files, its better to use XMLReader. Unlike DomDocument, XMLReader does not load the entire File on memory. It reads an XML file one node at a time. I hardly use XMLReader […]
PHP-5’s DOM and XMLReader provides the ability to read XML files easily. The good thing about PHP-5’s DOM (mainly DomDocument, DomNodeList, DomNode) is that it implements the standard DOM features as specified by W3C. W3C’s reference on DOM can be viewed here. So, if someone has used DOM before (say on JavaScript), then it would […]
DomDocument is a powerful library of PHP-5 to create XML. In this article, I will try to explain the basics of DomDocument and then will create a couple of simple XML files. First, lets have a look at a simple XML file: Taken from W3C’s example: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”ISO-8859-1″?> >note> <to>Tove>/to> <from>Jani>/from> <heading>Reminder>/heading> <desc>Don’t forget […]
