I am trying to download product images by product id or product name PHP Files

$xml = simplexml_load_file($xmllocalurl) or die("Error: Cannot create object");
foreach ($xml->children() ->children() as $child) {
    $name = $child->product_name;
    $url = $child->Images->Image;
    $img = 'imgfiles/'.$name.'.jpg';
    $url = $child->product_name;
    file_put_contents($img, file_get_contents($url));
Solution

  • Since you are dealing with xml, you are probably better off using xpath to extract what I believe is your target data.

    The below just presents the data; you can then save it as you see fit:

    $items = $xml->xpath('//product');
foreach ($items as $item) {
    $name = $item->xpath('./product_name')[0];
    $code = $item->xpath('./product_code')[0];
    $images = $item->xpath('.//Image/text()');
    echo $name," " ,$code," " ;
    foreach ($images as $image) {
      echo $image , " ";
    }
    echo "\r\n";
};

    output (based on your sample xml):

    Samsung Led TV AXX-655 https://max.cloud/37233/products-77d4.jpg https://max.cloud/37233/products-254789.jpg https://max.cloud/37233/products-f010.jpg https://max.cloud/37233/products-8004.jpg
