Now allow me to ask a Perl to PHP conversion question or three. As any Perl and PHP programmer is aware PHP does not have the cool reference thing going that Perl does (yeah, I hear the newest release of PHP is going there). It's not as bad as C++ (so I hear) but regardless it doesn't work like it does in Perl. Not complaining, just stuck (again).
Perl code: sub { my ($tagname, $attr) = @_; push @state, $tagname; if ("@state" eq "shipment package") { $package_id = $attr->{id};# need to convert this #$attr is a ref to a hash where id is the key. } elsif ("@state" eq "shipment package quote") { print "@state\n"; %quote = ( package_id => $package_id, id => $attr->{id} ); #need to convert the above line. } }, "tagname, attr"],
PHP code: function startElement(&$Parser, &$Elem, &$Attr) { global $state; array_push ($state, $Elem); $states = join (' ',$state); if ($states == "SHIPMENT PACKAGE") { $package_id = $Attr->{id};//How to get the pointer to the data? // The value of this should be '1' } elseif ($states == "SHIPMENT PACKAGE QUOTE") { echo "$states\n"; // %quote = ( package_id => $package_id, id => $attr->{id} ); $quote = array ( package_id => $package_id, id => $attr->{id} ); } }
After that, how would this convert:
$quote{class_name} = $text; quote is a hash where class_name is the key.
Thanks again!
