14,600 PointsSum SimpleXML XPath variable doesn't work
Hi Community,
For a friend of mine, I'm creating a PDF-View-Counter. Now I'm getting stuck at changing the "view" value from the XML. When I'm trying to sum the variable ($VAR++), doesn't work. What should I do?
PHP-Code:
<?php
//header('Content-type: application/pdf');
// PDF-Datei deklarieren
$datei = "pdf.pdf";
$xmldb = "db.xml";
$id = md5($datei);
$xml = simplexml_load_file($xmldb);
$views = $xml->xpath('/data/count[@id="'.$id.'"]/views');
$num = $views[0][0];
$num++;
echo $num;
//$fopen = fopen($xmldb, "wb");
//fwrite($fopen, $xml->asXML());
//fclose($fopen);
//readfile($datei);
?>
XML-Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<data>
<count id="883c7046854e04138c55680ffde90a61">
<filename>s</filename>
<views>1</views>
<lastview>f</lastview>
</count>
</data>
PS: I now that the Code is dirty but it was made in hurry.
Many thanks in advance,
Philip
