Hello, man I just found this site and seems to good to be true. Well here goes.
I am trying to create a form that generates an xml file.
here is the form code:
CODE
<html>
<head>
<title>XML Employee Data</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Employee Data</p>
<form method="POST" action="php/convert_to_xml.php">
<input type="hidden" name="create_employee" value="true">
<table>
<tr>
<td width="27%">Employee Name:</td>
<td width="73%"><input type="text" name="empName" size="20"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="27%">Employee Address</td>
<td width="73%"><input type="text" name="empAddress" size="73"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="27%">Employee SSN</td>
<td width="73%"><input type="text" name="empSSN" size="20"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="27%">Company Name</td>
<td width="73%"><input type="text" name="empCompany" size="73"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="27%">XML File Name</td>
<td width="73%"><input type="text" name="xmlfileName" size="20"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p align="center">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
here is the php file ( convert_to_xml.php )
CODE
<?php
if(isset($_POST['create_employee'])){
echo "Employee Data Posted";
$xmlfileName = $_POST['xmlfileName'];
$empName = $_POST['empName'];
$empAddress = $_POST['empAddress'];
$empSSN = $_POST['empSSN'];
$empCompany = $_POST['empCompany'];
$xml_dec = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>";
/* After gathering all data from the form then, I created a variable to hold all the data entered by
user in string format. */
$rootELementStart = "<employee>";
$rootElementEnd = "</employee>";
$xml_doc= $xml_dec;
$xml_doc .= $rootELementStart;
$xml_doc .= "<employeename>";
$xml_doc .= $empName;
$xml_doc .= "</employeename>";
$xml_doc .= "<employeeaddress>";
$xml_doc .= $empAddress;
$xml_doc .= "</employeeaddress>";
$xml_doc .= "<SSN>";
$xml_doc .= $empSSN;
$xml_doc .= "</SSN>";
$xml_doc .= "<company>";
$xml_doc .= $empCompany;
$xml_doc .= "</company>";
$xml_doc .= $rootElementEnd;
$default_dir = "xml_files/";
$default_dir .= $xmlfileName .".xml";
/*Here I have taken default directory as xml_files directory.
After creating string representation of employee data, I have used following PHP script to store in the file */
$fp = fopen($default_dir,'w');
$write = fwrite($fp,$xml_doc);
?>
when I submit the form I receive this error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $end in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\testsite\php\convert_to_xml.php on line 68
According to phpinfo() I have dom/xml version 20031129
libxml Version 2.6.22
I'm eventually going to modify this form and php to do mortgage calculations, and the xml file will be used to generate a flash based line and bar graph.
Can you spot anything?!
