  • Hi Everyone,

    This is my first question on the forum. I need help with XML plugin - How to use it. I am trying to pull data from mysql database using ajax and XML. But I cannot load the XML into construct 2. I use the following php to pull the data from the database and convert it into XML. But I do not know how to load it into construct 2. Can someone help me?

    Here is the php code I use --> Converting database information in XML format.

    <?php

    header("Content-Type: text/xml"); //set the content type to xml

    // Initialize the xmlOutput variable

    $xmlBody = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>';

    $xmlBody .= "<XML>";

    // Connect to your MySQL database whatever way you like to here

    $dbhost = "xxx";

    $dbuser = "xxx";

    $dbpass = "xxx";

    $dbname = "xxx";

    mysql_connect("$dbhost","$dbuser","$dbpass") or die (mysql_error());

    mysql_select_db("$dbname") or die ("no database");

    // Execute the Query on the database to select items(20 in this example)

    $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM teacher ORDER BY ID LIMIT 0, 10");

    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){

    // Set DB variables into local variables for easier use

    $id = $row["ID"];

    $teacherName = $row["teacherName"];

    $teacherPassword = $row["teacherPassword"];

    $email = $row["email"];

    $date = $row["date"];

    // Start filling the $xmlBody variable with looping content here inside the while loop

    // It will loop through 20 items from the database and render into XML format

    $xmlBody .= '

    <Data>

    <DataID>' . $id . '</DataID>

    <TeacherName>' . $teacherName . '</TeacherName>

    <TeacherPassword>' . $teacherPassword . '</TeacherPassword>

    <Email>' . $email . '</Email>

    <Date>' . $date . '</Date>

    </Data>';

    } // End while loop

    mysql_close(); // close the mysql database connection

    $xmlBody .= "</XML>";

    echo $xmlBody; // output the gallery data as XML file for flash

    ?>
