processing xml with php
Tags: xml
before php v5, there are a set of xml functions to parse xml but i can never remember how to use them. it was complicated.
since v5, parsing and processing xml has never been easier with SimpleXML extension.
to parse xml file:
PHP:
$obj = simplexml_load_file($file); |
to parse xml string:
PHP:
$obj = simplexml_load_string($string); |
xml example:
XML:
<data> | |
<tag>value 1<tag> | |
<tag attribute="attrbute value">value 2<tag> | |
</data> |
after loading xml into $obj, access tag values as class method:
PHP:
$obj->tag | |
$obj->tag[i] //if more than 1 tag |
access tag attribute as array:
PHP:
$obj->tag['attribute'] | |
$obj->tag[i]['attribute'] // if more than 1 tag |
