Question

Which is the best way to parse an XML file in PHP ?

First
Using the DOM object

//code
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->load(         


        

Answer 1

I prefer simplexml_load_string for ease of use. Processing speed may well depend on the format of the XML file if the two use different methods of parsing the file - try it out on your own files and see which is better for you.
