Loading XML generated by PHP doesn´t work

[darksidegirl]

I know what will you say: Search for a tutorial.

Yes, i´ve searched here. Through internet. But i get no answer.

I checked format. This is the xml output:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<root>
<nivel nombre='A1'>
<item>
<nombre>audio1</nombre>
<tipo>audio</tipo>
<descargable>si</descargable>
<url>../multimedia/Audios/A1_audio1.MP3</url>
</item>
</nivel>
<nivel nombre='A2'>
<item>
<nombre>leccion1</nombre>
<tipo>texto</tipo>
<descargable>si</descargable><nivel nombre='B1'><item>

<nombre>audio1</nombre>
<tipo>audio</tipo>
<descargable>si</descargable>
<url>../multimedia/Audios/B1_audio1.MP3</url>
</item>
</nivel>
</root>

 

I think the format is perfect. I can read it on my Firefox as a perfect xml.

Now. This is action script code:

            var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
            loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, cargaXML);
            loader.load(new URLRequest("reproductor_generador_datos.php"));

When loaded i do

trace(e.target.data);

To see the xml, but it´s php. It hasn´t generated it.

I follow every tutorial. This is the way. Is there any other way to make it "EXECUTE" the php code?? it donesn´t seem to work.

The same happens when i assign it to an XML in AS3. It doesn´t work.

Please help me. It´s taking so many time.

Thanks!!

The xml you show is malformed.

The node <nivel nombre='A2'> is not closed, nor is its child <item/> node.

First, just like Raymond said, your XML is broken, you need to fix the PHP code that generates it. Second, I've read about this problem before on some forum (I think it was the ultrashock forum) and the thing is this is not a malfunction or anything (as I can remember), it is supposed to be this way... your php generates an XML file but it will still be in php form... there is a way around this, but you need to fix it from your php code so that it would generate true XML file... as I can recall, you can do that from your .htaccess file. I'll try to get you the fix, meanwhile use google maybe you'll find something.

Thanks a lot for the help, guys.

Well. I think i had problems trying to copy the xml here. That´s why it´s broken.... but i don´t find the problem, though, there...

Let me post here another example on how is it now. It´s got the header, and the <?xml tag.

That xml is fine.

If I understand your original post, you are seeing the PHP code, rather than the xml. Your code example contains a trace statement, which implies you are running the swf in the flash IDE. If that's the case, how would the PHP code be executed?

[darksidegirl]

mmm. This answer sounds interesting.

That´s my problem. Is php code executed?. I understand i have to tell actionscript to load an url, and then assign a Complete event to see the data.

But the data is NOT an xml file.

But i get this from the tutorials. This doesn´t make sense for me...

Do you know the answer?

mmm maybe... should i execute the php without loading so it generates the xml file... and then read it??... that will make conflicts!

I think Raymond had the answer. PHP is executed by your server. When you go to a .php page online you don't see the .php code - because the server executes any php on the page before it serves the page. If your php generates xml you will see only the output xml online... so, you need to upload the php, and then read it from there - not from a local file.

[darksidegirl]

I know about that. But thanks for the explanation.

I know about php executed. Of course. But i have an Apache server working here, localhost executing php, and i work in local.

i tried it online , but didn´t work.

When i try to "trace" it, it drops the php text. Just don´t execute anything! Does URLLoader or URLRequest execute it??

[darksidegirl]

oh shit. Sorry...

it´s WORKING. Online. It works.

So i fixed it after the changes you told me, but... but the urls weren´t working in Local, but online it WORKS!

fantastic!!

Thanks a lot, and sorry about this mess.
