PHP Components

Features:

1. Large File Support - Since we only parse the file one product at a time, our ONIX reader can read massive files without consuming all your memory.
2. Simplified Field Output - Onix supports multiple contributors, prices, etc - but you may just want a By-Line to import into your "Author" field. We simplify much of this logic for you with full and simplified field output.
3. Better XML handling - yes, your data source gave you ONIX - but it may not be standard XML. Not everyone is perfect, so we created an EXTREMELY forgiving and fast XML parser - it looks for patterns in the code the way you would. If you've tried SimpleXML, and failed, our components are right for you.
4. Backwards compatability - PHP support for any version you happen to be running. We don't all get to use the latest and greatest, so it can be nice to have software that runs on even old versions.

Example Use:

1. Open and Read a File:
   <?
   $file = OpenOnixFile("MyONIXFile.xml");
   
    while( $p = next_product($file){
      
      //your code here.

   }
?>
2. Displaying some basic details in a table.
   
<h2>Some Sample Data:</h2>
<table cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0>
<tr style="background:#000000;color:white">
<th>ISBN13/ProductID</th>
<th>Author</th>
<th>Title</th>
<th>Price</th>
</tr>
<?

$i=0;

while( $p = next_product($file){
$bg="#e7e7e7"; 
if($i%2==0){$bg="#c0c0c0";}
$i++;
if($i<11){
 ?>
<tr style="background:<?echo $bg?>">
<td><?
if($p["isbn13"]!=""){
 echo $p["isbn13"];
} else {
 echo $p["productid"];
}
?></td>
<td><?echo $p["author"]?></td>
<td><?echo $p["title"]?></td>
<td><?echo $p["currency"]?><?echo $p["price"]?></td>
</tr>
<?   
}
}
?>
</table> 
<?
}
?>


3. Retrieving deeper detail about contributors, beyond just an "author" tag. "name" is also a helper field that tries to figure out which of the common name fields contains the contributors name.
   
<? if(sizeof($p["contributors"])>0){ ?>
Name: <?echo $p["contributors"][0]["name"];?>  
Role: <?echo $p["contributors"][0]["ContributorRole"];?>
<?}?>
