Problem reading xml file from Zend
Question by mrN
I created a simple xml file to store name of stylesheets, where is my xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<skin>
<stylesheets>
<stylesheet>default.css</stylesheet>
</stylesheets>
</skin>
Now I tried to read the data using the following code
protected function loadSkin() {
$skinData = new Zend_Config_Xml('./template/'.$this -> _template.'/skins/'.$this -> _skin.'/skin.xml');
var_dump($skinData);
$stylesheets = $skinData -> stylesheets -> stylesheet -> toArray();
if(is_array($stylesheets)) {
foreach($stylesheets as $stylesheet) {
$this -> view -> headLink() -> appendStylesheet('/template/'.$this -> _template.'/skins/' . $this -> _skin . '/css/' . $stylesheet);
}
}
}
But its gives Call to a member function toArray() on a non-object. What am i doing wrong?

Actually, there is nothing wrong with your code. Its just a logical error. You have told Zend_Config_Xml to parse the stylesheet as an array. But since there is just one stylesheet you are giving, it will not parse it as an array.
Your Solution
Just add another stylesheet to the xml file.
Like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<skin>
<stylesheets>
<stylesheet>default.css</stylesheet>
<stylesheet>another.css</stylesheet>
</stylesheets>
</skin>
