Simple way to reformat a large(ish) XML file? - mysql

Question

I'm trying to build a store locator that uses data from an XML file to load the locations.
The current file is set out such as below, once exported from phpmyadmin:
<table name="tblLabs">
<column name="LabID">76</column>
<column name="RegionID">8</column>
<column name="Consultant">Dr M E Herd</column>
<column name="BMS">Mrs C Pickup</column>
<column name="AP">NULL</column>
<column name="AdditionalStaff">NULL</column>
<column name="Department">Pathology Dept</column>
<column name="OrganizationName">Bury General Hospital</column>
<column name="Address">Walmersley Road</column>
<column name="Address1">Bury</column>
<column name="City">Lancs</column>
<column name="PostCode">BL9 6PG</column>
<column name="Tel">0161 1234 1234</column>
<column name="Fax">0161 1234 1234</column>
<column name="EMail">email#email.com</column>
<column name="Comments"></column>
<column name="Public">1</column>
<column name="lat">0.000000</column>
<column name="lng">0.000000</column>
<column name="type"></column>
</table>
For it to work with the javascript file I need it to be formated as below:
<markers>
<marker Consultant="Dr M E Herd"
BMS="Mrs C Pickup"
AP="NULL"
AdditionalStaff="NULL"
Department="Pathology Dept"
name="Bury General Hospital"
address="Walmersley Road"
city="Bury"
state="Lancs"
postal="BL9 6PG"
phone="0161 705 3274"
Fax="0161 705 3418"
email="email#email.com"
Comments=""
lat="53.6145706"
lng="-2.2927511"
type="" />
</markers>
Is there a way I can export from phpmyadmin in the format as above? Or is there another way I can quickly reformat the data as to the way I need it? I also need to add in lat & lng from a batch geocode service I am using.

Answer 1

This can be done rather easily with this XSLT:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="utf-8" indent="no"/>
<xsl:template match="table">
<markers>
<marker>
<xsl:for-each select="column">
<xsl:attribute name="{#name}">
<xsl:value-of select="text()" />
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>
</marker>
</markers>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
You can test it online.
This does not add the latitude and longitude, though - but why aren't you storing this in MySQL?
