PHP XML
There are a number of different ways to you can use PHP to manipulate XML.
Here is an example of a XML navigator / simplifier written in
SimpleXML !
function nav
($x,
$level=
1) {
foreach ($x->
children() as $ng) {
echo str_repeat(' ',
$level),
$ng->
getName();
$haschildren=
count($ng->
children());
if (!
$haschildren) {
echo '=',
$ng;
}
foreach ($ng->
attributes() as $a =>
$v) {
echo ' ' ,
$a,
'=',
$v ;
}
echo PHP_EOL ;
if ($haschildren) {
nav
($ng,
$level+1);
}
}
}
$file =
$argv[1];
if (file_exists($file)) {
$xml = simplexml_load_file
($file);
nav
($xml);
}
input
