PHP Versions Question posted in
You can find a list of all versions here.

How do I get this php foreach to parse through all of the <mod> entries? – Php versions

I need to parse the “name” and “version” attributes from all of the “<mod>” tag entries.

Thanks to this page I was only able to parse the first “<mod>” tag from the xml.

I’m no programmer, so I have no clue how to go on.

This is my xml file.

These are my testing php files.

$xmlfile = simplexml_load_file("packa.xml");
foreach ($xmlfile->children() as $mods) {
    echo $mods->mod['name']."</br>";
    echo $mods->mod['version'];
}

had this output.

</br></br>Just Enough Items</br>4.15.0.293

And 

foreach ($xmlfile->children() as $mods) {
    echo $mods->mod['name']."
    </br>".$mods->mod['version'];
}

had this output

</br>
</br>Just Enough Items
</br>4.15.0.293

    You can try something along these lines, using xpath:

    $result = $xmlfile->xpath('//mods//mod');  
foreach($result as $mod){
    $nam = $mod->xpath('.//@name');
    $ver = $mod->xpath('.//@version');
    echo implode ( $nam). "</br>" .implode( $ver );  
    echo "<br>";   
}

    Output:

    Just Enough Items
4.15.0.293
MTLib
3.0.6
CraftTweaker2
1.12-4.1.20
Mod Tweaker
4.0.18

    etc.

    You are using the wrong level in the XML in the foreach() loop, this is only looping over the <mods> elements – and there is only 1. You need to specify that you want to loop over the <mod> elements and then just access the attributes as you already do…

    foreach ($xmlfile->mods->mod as $mod) {
    echo $mod['name'] . "/" . $mod['version'] . "</br>" . PHP_EOL;
}
