The problem is DOM does not know that it should consider the XHTML DTD unless you validated the document against it. Unless you do that, DOM doesnt know any entities defined in the DTD, nor any other rules in it. Fortunately, we sorted out how to do the validation in that other question, so armed … Read more
The namespace is the third parameter to addChild() $item->addChild(‘id’, ‘myid’, ‘http://base.google.com/ns/1.0’); See the documentation for more information.
This is a SimpleXMLElement object. The ‘@attributes’ row is an internal representation of the attributes from the XML element. Use SimpleXML’s functions to get data from this object rather than interacting with it directly.
SimpleXML has an unusual quirk where the namespace prefixes are filtered from the root element. I’m not sure why it does this. However, a workaround I’ve used has been to basically prefix the prefix, so that the parser only removes the first ones, and leaves the second $xmlTest = new SimpleXMLElement(‘<xmlns:ws:Test></xmlns:ws:Test>’, LIBXML_NOERROR, false, ‘ws’, true); … Read more
I found the answer above to be helpful, but it didn’t quite work for me. This ended up working better: // Gets rid of all namespace definitions $xml_string = preg_replace(‘/xmlns[^=]*=”[^”]*”/i’, ”, $xml_string); // Gets rid of all namespace references $xml_string = preg_replace(‘/[a-zA-Z]+:([a-zA-Z]+[=>])/’, ‘$1’, $xml_string);
Not sure I understand the issue. The asXML() method accepts an optional filename as param that will save the current structure as XML to a file. So once you have updated your XML with the hints, just save it back to file. // Load XML with SimpleXml from string $root = simplexml_load_string(‘<root><a>foo</a></root>’); // Modify a … Read more
There’s a variety of solutions in the comments on the PHP manual page for SimpleXMLElement. Not very efficient, but certainly terse, is a solution by Anonymous $dom = dom_import_simplexml($simpleXml)->ownerDocument; $dom->formatOutput = true; echo $dom->saveXML(); The PHP manual page comments are often good sources for common needs, as long as you filter out the patently wrong … Read more
Here’s what’s probably the simplest way to copy a node’s children and attributes without using XSLT: function clonishNode(DOMNode $oldNode, $newName, $newNS = null) { if (isset($newNS)) { $newNode = $oldNode->ownerDocument->createElementNS($newNS, $newName); } else { $newNode = $oldNode->ownerDocument->createElement($newName); } foreach ($oldNode->attributes as $attr) { $newNode->appendChild($attr->cloneNode()); } foreach ($oldNode->childNodes as $child) { $newNode->appendChild($child->cloneNode(true)); } $oldNode->parentNode->replaceChild($newNode, $oldNode); } … Read more
The code you’ve got in your question does work. You have correctly written that you can access an attribute from a namespaced-element that is not in the default namespace as the root-element by making use of the SimpleXMLElement::children() method with the XML-namespace related parameters $ns and $is_prefix: $youtube->entry->children(‘yt’, TRUE)->duration->attributes()->seconds; // is “1870” As this is … Read more
You have to use SimpleXMLElement::children(), though at this point it would probably be easier to use XPath. <?php $XmlStr = <<<XML <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?> <env:Envelope xmlns:env=”http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope” xmlns:ns1=”http://soap.xxxxxx.co.uk/” > <env:Body> <ns1:PlaceOrderResponse> <xxxxxOrderNumber></xxxxxOrderNumber> <ErrorArray> <Error> <ErrorCode>24</ErrorCode> <ErrorText>The+client+order+number+3002254+is+already+in+use</ErrorText> </Error> <Error> <ErrorCode>1</ErrorCode> <ErrorText>Aborting</ErrorText> </Error> </ErrorArray> </ns1:PlaceOrderResponse> </env:Body> </env:Envelope> XML; $XmlArray = new SimpleXMLElement($XmlStr); $t = $XmlArray->children(“env”, true)->Body-> children(“ns1”, true)->PlaceOrderResponse-> … Read more
