Itunes XML Parser

This simple php code will help you to parse the Itunes XML so that we can grab whichever data we need.

<?php
$myFile = "itunes.xml"; //XML Path
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');
$theData = fread($fh, filesize($myFile));
fclose($fh);

$artist = array();
$start = explode('<key>Artist</key><string>',$theData); //Change this to which key you want
for($i=1;$i<count($start);$i++)
{
    $end = explode('</string>',$start[$i]);
    array_push($artist,$end[0]);
}
$artistList = array_unique($artist);
print_r($artistList );
?>

Adding Rich Text Editor to Wordpress Sidebar Widget

Now i'm telling you on how to add a rich text editor inside a Text/HTML widget in a Wordpress Admin Panel - Widget Area. Here we are using CKE Editor as the Rich Text Editor

Steps

1. Download CKE Editor 

2. Extract the cke editor files to your 'wp-content\themes' folder

3. Go to admin header page \wp-admin\admin-header.php file and add the javascript reference in the head

4. Go to admin footer page. Add the below script above

< script type="text/javascript">
    CKEDITOR.replace( 'widget-text-4-text',
    {
        toolbar :
        [
            ['Bold', 'Italic','Underline','Strike', '-', 'NumberedList', 'BulletedList','Blockquote', '-', 'JustifyLeft','JustifyCenter','JustifyRight','JustifyBlock','Undo','Redo','Link','Unlink','RemoveFormat','TextColor','Image']
        ]
       

    });

Replace 'widget-text-4-text' with your widget text area id. View the below image to know how to get your widget text area id.

5. Done

6. Go to wp-admin page -> Widgets -> Add Text/HTML widget to sidebar.

7. Voila.. Now you can see the RTE in action.
