Dynamically created XML from PHP to Actionscript 3
actionscript-3, php, xml
Solution
If I read the file as a String I get the whole PHP code
It sounds like it's not being executed server-side. Are you hosting it on a server with PHP installed?
Problem
I am trying to dynamically create an XML file using php like this: ``` header ("content-type: text/xml"); // create doctype $dom = new DOMDocument("1.0"); // create root element $root = $dom->createElement("tracklist"); $dom->appendChild($root); $dom->formatOutput=true; // create child element foreach ($commonPlaylist as $value) { $trackArray = getTrackForID($value['ID']); $item = $dom->createElement("track"); $root->appendChild($item); foreach ( $trackArray as $key => $value) { $attr = $dom->createAttribute($key); $item->appendChild($attr); $attrValue = $dom->createTextNode($value); $attr->appendChild($attrValue); } } echo $dom->saveXML(); ``` The output of the file is normal working xml ``` <?xml version="1.0"?> <tracklist> <track ID="4" title="Track01" artist="Artist01" url="" length="" coverURL=""/> <track ID="1" title="Track02" artist="Artist02" url="" length="" coverURL=""/> <track ID="8" title="Track03" artist="Artist03" url="" length="" coverURL=""/> </tracklist> ``` However if I want to get this data into as3 with the following code: ``` var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); myLoader.load(new URLRequest("getPlaylist.php")); myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML); function processXML(e:Event):void { var myXml:XML= new XML(e.target.data); trace(myXml); // The variable is being traced. ``` } I don't get any output at all. If I read the file as a String I get the whole PHP code. What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance for any help. Regards, Matteo
