simplexml

I just can remove an item from a simpleXML element with: unset($this->simpleXML->channel->item[0]); but I can't with the a for: $items = $this->simpleXML->xpath('/rss/channel/item'); for($i = count($items); $i > $itemsNumber; $i--) { unset($items[$i - 1]); } some items are removed from $items (Netbeans Debug can confirm that) but when I get the path again (/rss/channel/item) nothing was deleted. What's wrong? Xavier Barbosa SimpleXML does not handle node deletion, you need to use DOMNode for this. Happily, when you import your nodes into DOMNode, the instances point to the same tree. So, you

The constant XML_PARSE_HUGE can be passed as the third argument to simplexml_load_string() . According to to php.net this flag: relaxes any hardcoded limit from the parser. What is the "default hardcoded limit from the parser"? I think relaxes is a little bit ambiguous also. Does it eliminate or increase "the hardcoded limit"? From http://bugs.php.net/49660 : Since version 2.7.3 libxml limits the maximum size of a single text node to 10MB. The limit can be removed with a new option, XML_PARSE_HUGE. PHP has no way to specify this option to libxml. So I imagine this flag is the way that PHP now

I am trying to use a PHP document to construct an XML document (for AJAX) using PHP 5's built-in SimpleXMLElement class. I want to start with a blank slate and build the XML element by element, but I have found no way to construct a SimpleXMLElement without starting from some existing piece of XML code. I wasn't able to successfully pass in a blank string ("") to the SimpleXMLElement constructor, so currently I'm passing in the XML for the outermost tag, and then building from there. Here's my code: // Start with a "blank" XML document. $xml = new SimpleXMLElement("<feature></feature>"); //

Simple XMLElement Object ( [IpStatus] => 1 [ti_pid_20642] => SimpleXmlElement Object ( I have a SimpleXMLElment in above format and this XML is generated at run time and it's node values like ti_pid_20642 are partly dnymaic, for example ti_pid_3232 , ti-pid_2323 , ti_pid_anyumber . My question is how can I get these nodes values and it's children using PHP? To get all node names that are used in an XML string with SimpleXML you can use the SimpleXMLIterator : $tagnames = array_keys(iterator_to_array( new RecursiveIteratorIterator( new SimpleXMLIterator($string) , RecursiveIteratorIterator:

I want to integrate an XSL file in an XML string gived me by php CURL command. I tryed this $output = XML gived me by curl option; $hotel = simplexml_load_string($output); $hotel->addAttribute('?xml-stylesheet type=”text/xsl” href=”css/stile.xsl”?'); echo $hotel->asXML(); Doing this when I see the XML on browser, I receive the file without the stylesheet. Where is my error? hakre A SimpleXMLElement does not allow you by default to create and add a Processing Instruction (PI) to a node. However the sister library DOMDocument allows this. You can marry the two by extending from SimpleXMLElement

Often my .xml document contains errors. I would want to parse my document anyway up to errors or try to fix errors automatically. Is that possible? I have tried this, but it isn't working $xml = simplexml_load_file($url, "SimpleXMLElement", array(LIBXML_NOERROR, LIBXML_ERR_NONE)); if (!$xml) { echo "Failed loading XML\n"; foreach(libxml_get_errors() as $error) { echo "\t", $error->message; } } Baba From PHP DOC simplexml_load_file options should be int not array Replace $xml = simplexml_load_file($url, "SimpleXMLElement", array(LIBXML_NOERROR, LIBXML_ERR_NONE)); ^------- You are using array

I want to put a xml file into my programme and make it into an array so I can put it into a table. I was wondering how I can do this and I have read the php manual, but I don't seem to be able to get to grips with it. To do what I want, do I need to use simplexml_load_string , or do I need to command both of them( simplexml_load_file and simplexml_load_string ), therefore load the xml file onto the programme, then turn it into a file. Or does simplesml_load_string just does all of that for me. Also I was wondering what get_object_vars does when you put it around an array. Each of the two
