Hi all,

With PHP, I get some xml content in the database.

And I need to ouput this content in html (the ezpublish xml tags are not all html tags).
Are there any php ezpublish objects or function I can use to do so ?

Like (it's a fake example) :

include_once("lib/ezdb/classes/ezxml2html.php");
$xml2html =& eZXML2HTML::instance();
$ouput =& $xml2html->getHtml($myXml);

I'm sure there are premade objects I can use, but I just can't find them.

Thanks for your help.

There's handlers for that in the kernel.

I think http://pubsvn.ez.no/doxygen/classeZXMLTextType.html#a15 could be the interface for it.

Visit http://triligon.org

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

What I need is the object/function that output XHTML format (from xml content object).

Example :
it will take an ezXml object like :

<header>This is a level one header</header>
<paragraph>This is a <emphasize>block</emphasize> of text.</paragraph>

and output it in xhtml :

<h1>This is a level one header</h1>
<p>This is a <em>block</em> of text.</p>

What object/function should I use ?

Here is a simple example:

include_once('kernel/classes/datatypes/ezxmltext/handlers/output/ezxhtmlxmloutput.php');

$XMLContent = "<section><paragraph>text</paragraph></section>";

$outputHandler = new eZXHTMLXMLOutput( $XMLContent, false, $contentObjectAttribute );

$htmlContent =& $outputHandler->outputText();

I didn't test it, but this should work.

ps. Object attribute is needed here, but probably you can skip this by modifying handler's code, it is not so very much used there.

Thank you !!! I think it is exactly what I need !

Is there any documentation about this object ?

Thanks for your help.

There are no docs, unfortunately, the only doc is the source code. But it is pretty obvious to use, I think.

Well, I don't need the doc for this particular object but I have done extensive search in http://pubsvn.ez.no/doxygen to find the right object to output XHTML and I haven't found it. Because it's not there !

So I'm a bit disapointed by this documentation that doesn't provide all the API.

And I was asking if there was a place where ALL the objects were documented. So that I can find what I need by myself without bothering you and the forum :)

Thanks.

Thanx Kirill.

This example is very useful. I want exactly this type of output and searching for many days.But finally i saw your example and tried it.This works fine.
