I have xml files been imported onto an FTP server. This is stored in location \'/public_html/ctrackxml/\' with a random file name and in the following format:

";

// Read filenames in current directory looking for XML files
$file_arr = array();
if ($handle = opendir('.')) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        if (($file != ".") && ($file != "..")) {
            if(substr($file, -4) == ".xml")
            {
                array_push($file_arr, $file);
            }
        }
    }
    closedir($handle);
}

// Loop through each XML file in the current directory
foreach($file_arr as $filename)
{
    //simplexml load xml file   
    $mess = simplexml_load_file($filename);
    echo "xml loaded

";

    $messageid = mysql_real_escape_string($mess->messageid);
    $mobile = mysql_real_escape_string($mess->mobile);
    $time = mysql_real_escape_string($mess->time);
    $latitude = mysql_real_escape_string($mess->latitude);
    $longitude = mysql_real_escape_string($mess->longitude);
    $status = mysql_real_escape_string($mess->status);
    $speed = mysql_real_escape_string($mess->speed);
    $address = mysql_real_escape_string($mess->address);
    $direction = mysql_real_escape_string($mess->direction);
    $runningodo = mysql_real_escape_string($mess->runningodo);

    echo "xml parsed

";

    //insert into databse                     
    mysql_query("INSERT INTO xml (messageid, mobile, time, latitude, longitude, status, speed, address, direction, odometer)
    VALUES ('$messageid', '$mobile', '$time', '$latitude', '$longitude', '$status', '$speed', '$address', '$direction', '$runningodo')")
    or die(mysql_error());

    echo "inserted into mysql

";

    //show updated records            
    printf ("Records inserted: %d\n", mysql_affected_rows());  
}
//close connection 
mysql_close($con2);

?>

The above code should achieve what you are looking for based on the spec. As stated there is one XML record per one XML file.

This code is designed to run in the same directory as the XML files, you can easily change this by editing opendir command in the code. It will read all the XML files in the current working directory and place the data into the Database.
