How can i get particular fields in the array using foreach

Question

I wanted to take the fields such as School Type, Name, Location, Details, Degreemjor, Education details, Start and End Date

How can i do this using the foreach loop ?

Here is my Array.

Here is the `var_export`

array (

This is the following up of this question

That is for a single array and this is for the multiple array, ( Foreach will be employed here) — , May 19 '15 at 04:16
do an if(___||___||___) inside the for each statement based upon what you want triggered. — a coder, May 19 '15 at 04:17
It'd help if the array was better indented. Can you please update your first post with a properly formatted array? How much experience do you have with programming/with PHP? — Luke, May 19 '15 at 04:19
You wanted `var_dump` or `var_export` instead of `print_r` ? — , May 19 '15 at 04:21
@StackRaja I can, but if you can't even write an if statement within a for each that you have running, why are you writing code by hand? — a coder, May 19 '15 at 04:24
Surprise me. Just keep the indentation when you copy it into the question. You may need to mark it as code in the post editor. — Luke, May 19 '15 at 04:24
@php_purest If you explain the meaning of `if(||___||) ` i can do it — , May 19 '15 at 04:28
@Luke I believe that the above array is given inside the `code` format — , May 19 '15 at 04:29
When you dumped, it didn't have whitespace at the start of lines to indent properly? Am I insane, am I the only one who doesn't see neat code? :S — Luke, May 19 '15 at 04:31
Sigh, okay, if you could do a var_export() instead for me, please? Then I'll see if I can edit your first post. — Luke, May 19 '15 at 04:32

Have a look at SimpleXMLElement::attributes

I think you can get the element like

$url = 'http://recruitplushrxmlapidemo.onlineresumeparser.com/hrxml/153Melanie%20R.%20Mather%20Mills.xml';

$sxml = simplexml_load_file($url);

foreach($sxml->StructuredXMLResume->EducationHistory->SchoolOrInstitution as $key => $value){

    echo 'SchoolType --> '.$value->attributes()['SchoolType'];        
    echo "<br />";
    echo 'SchoolName --> '.$value->School->SchoolName;
    echo "<br />";
    echo 'SchoolLocation --> '.$value->SchoolLocation;
    echo "<br />";
    echo 'DegreeMajor --> '.$value->Degree->DegreeMajor[0];
    echo "<br />";
    echo 'EducationDetails --> '.$value->Degree->EducationDetails;
    echo "<br />";
    echo 'StartDate --> '.$value->Degree->DateofAttendance->StartDate[0];
    echo "<br />";
    echo 'EndDate --> '.$value->Degree->DateofAttendance->EndDate->AnyDate;
    echo "<br /><br />";

}

Hi, thanks, i am getting the SchoolType i.e., unspecified .. can you please tell how to get the **School Type, Name, Location, Details, Degreemjor, Education details, Start and End Date** also ? – May 19 '15 at 04:43
Thats not a big deal you can do it by yourself, format your question if you want more help – Praveen Dabral May 19 '15 at 04:49
Actually, i can't able to post the formatted code in stackoverflow, here is the eval sample code link https://eval.in/367010 – May 19 '15 at 04:53
I tried `$key['School']->SchoolName` and i am getting empty frield :( – May 19 '15 at 05:06
I don't understand how this is so strangely formatted :S anyway, @StackRaja, can't you see how to apply the above to get different attributes? Maybe try adding `echo $attr['SchoolName'];` into that loop? – Luke May 19 '15 at 05:06
I too The reason was, the array was being printed as the output of an API .... :( it looks strange .. when i try to `echo $attr['SchoolName'];` inside the loop, i got nothing.. its was empty .. – May 19 '15 at 05:08
If seeing the array is problem, i can show the printed array in the teamviewer for you :) – May 19 '15 at 05:08
You can get the school name like --> $value['School']['SchoolName'] – Praveen Dabral May 19 '15 at 05:21
Let me know the api url from where you are accessing these details – Praveen Dabral May 19 '15 at 05:25
@tiGer I tried `echo $value['School']['SchoolName'] ;` But can't get anything – May 19 '15 at 05:34
Here is the url of getting those arrya http://recruitplushrxmlapidemo.onlineresumeparser.com/hrxml/153Melanie%20R.%20Mather%20Mills.xml and http://recruitplushrxmlapidemo.onlineresumeparser.com/hrxml/154NANCY%20J.%20DACEY-BALSAMO.xml I am saving it as xml and loading converting it to an array – May 19 '15 at 05:36
Thanks for the being short. It was helpful !! – May 19 '15 at 06:22
Hi, can you please Help me in this question http://stackoverflow.com/q/30318180/3492495 – May 19 '15 at 09:19
I think you can do that in same way, format your question using --> echo '
```
'; print_r($array);
```

I'm an idiot, it didn't click that that was XML. Okay, so your array appears to be an array of schools/institutions from a resume, correct? Just follow the XML hierarchy to reach each node that you care about.

foreach ($nodes as $node) {
    echo "Type: " . $node->attributes()['SchoolType'] . "\n";
    echo "Name: " . $node->School->SchoolName . "\n";
    echo "Location: " . $node->SchoolLocation . "\n";
    echo "Degree name: " . $node->Degree->DegreeName . "\n";
    // etc
}

Hopefully... :) How did you populate that array? You should include that code in your original post, too. – Luke May 19 '15 at 06:16
Wow !!!!! It was awesome !!! You're the man :) Can you please how to get the value `ResumeParsingStartDate` in this array ... https://eval.in/367046 here is the original post of array http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30022826/how-to-get-the-exact-value-from-the-array-php – May 19 '15 at 06:18
Yep, I'll have a look. Please accept the answer? :) – Luke May 19 '15 at 06:19
Oh, actually i save that file as .xml and the convert it into array and then doing it – May 19 '15 at 06:20
Yep. Same is this, really. Check @tiGer's answer, that's quite good. – Luke May 19 '15 at 06:20
Wow, thank you for being gentle,, i am upvoting twice ;) your answer and i shall ask it in a seperate question and convey you.. Really thanks – May 19 '15 at 06:22
