Simplexml problem

Hi

Sorry if this is not the right newsgroup to ask this question but I am
having a problem with simplexml in PHP5.

This is the code I have

$xml = @simplexml_load_file('xmlfile') or die;

foreach ($xml->result->phrase as $phrase) {
printf("Title %s\n", $phrase->title);
printf("Url %s\n", $phrase->url);
printf("Desc %s\n", $phrase->desc);
printf("Review-url %s\n", $phrase->reviewurl);
}

foreach ($xml->result->domain->domain-listing->store-offers->store-offer as
$storeoffer) {
printf("Store Name %s\n", $storeoffer->store-name);
printf("Store Logo %s\n", $storeoffer->store-logo);
printf("In Stock %s\n", $storeoffer->in-stock);
printf("Offer Price %s\n", $storeoffer->offer-price);
printf("Tax %s\n", $storeoffer->tax);
printf("Shipping %s\n", $storeoffer->shipping);
printf("Total Price %s\n", $storeoffer->total-price);
printf("Offer Url %s\n", $storeoffer->offer-url);
printf("Store Rating %s\n", $storeoffer->store-rating);
printf("Store Rating Image %s\n", $storeoffer->store-rating-image);
printf("Num Store Reviews %s\n", $storeoffer->num-store-reviews);
printf("Store Review Url %s\n", $storeoffer->store-review-url);

}

When I try to process this I get an error on this line foreach
($xml->result->domain->domain-listing->store-offers->store-offer as
$storeoffer) {

the error is

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in
/home/findmeth/public_html/uknetholidays/index.php on line 17

I think the error is being caused by the store-offers element as when I
remove this I dont get the error

Any ideas?

I cant change the structure of the xml file as it is supplied by a third
party

Thanks in anticipation

The major problem is the hyphen in some of the element names. This triggers
an error.

Since removal of these hyphens isn't an option, you should put them within
curly brackets:

$object->{'store-offers'}

Additionally, I find the xpath method always to be more convenient. Try:

$xml = @simplexml_load_file('xmlfile') or die;
$xpath = "//result/domain/domain-listing/store-offers/store-offer";

foreach ($xml->xpath($xpath) as $storeoffer) {
printf("Store Name %s\n", $storeoffer->{'store-name'});
}

Thanks for that - the xpath idea works a treat ;-)

Since removal of these hyphens isn't an option, you should put them within
curly brackets:

$object->{'store-offers'}

Additionally, I find the xpath method always to be more convenient. Try:

$xml = @simplexml_load_file('xmlfile') or die;
$xpath = "//result/domain/domain-listing/store-offers/store-offer";

foreach ($xml->xpath($xpath) as $storeoffer) {
printf("Store Name %s\n", $storeoffer->{'store-name'});
}
