PHP - Simple XML
The simple XML parser
The simple XML parser is used to parse Name, attributes and textual content.
The simple XML functions are shown below −
simplexml_load_file()
This function accepts file path as a first parameter and it is mandatory.
simplexml_load_file(($fileName,$class,$options,$ns,$is_prefix)
simplexml_load_string()
This function accepts the string instead of file reference.
simplexml_load_string($XMLData,$class,$options,$ns,$is_prefix)
simplexml_import_dom()
This function accepts DOM formatted XML content and it converts into simple XML.
simplexml_load_string($DOMNode,$class)
The following example shows, How to parse a xml data file.
<?php
$data = "<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<note>
<Course>Android</Course>
<Subject>Android</Subject>
<Company>TutorialsPoint</Company>
<Price>$10</Price>
</note>";
$xml = simplexml_load_string($data) or die("Error: Cannot create object");
?>
<html>
<head>
<body>
<?php
print_r($xml);
?>
</body>
</head>
</html>
It will produce the following result −
SimpleXMLElement Object ( [Course] => Android [Subject] => Android [Company] => TutorialsPoint [Price] => $10 )
We can also call a xml data file as shown below and it produces the same result as shown above −
<?php
$xml = simplexml_load_file("data") or die("Error: Cannot create object");
print_r($xml);
?>
