You could use the DOMDocument class to reformat your code: $dom = new DOMDocument(‘1.0’); $dom->preserveWhiteSpace = false; $dom->formatOutput = true; $dom->loadXML($simpleXml->asXML()); echo $dom->saveXML();
it does work without registerXPathNamespace and the full namespace prefix in the xpath queries: $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($r); foreach($xml->xpath(‘//event:event’) as $event) { var_export($event->xpath(‘event:sessionKey’)); }
Typecast the SimpleXMLObject to a string: $foo = array( (string) $xml->channel->item->title ); The above code internally calls __toString() on the SimpleXMLObject. This method is not publicly available, as it interferes with the mapping scheme of the SimpleXMLObject, but it can still be invoked in the above manner.
It all depends on how big the unit of work, but I guess you’re trying to treat each <product/> nodes in succession. For that, the simplest way would be to use XMLReader to get to each node, then use SimpleXML to access them. This way, you keep the memory usage low because you’re treating one … Read more
You have to cast simpleXML Object to a string. $value = (string) $xml->code[0]->lat;
The solution is explained in this nice article. You need the children() method for accessing XML elements which contain a namespace. This code snippet is quoted from the article: $feed = simplexml_load_file(‘http://www.sitepoint.com/recent.rdf’); foreach ($feed->item as $item) { $ns_dc = $item->children(‘http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/’); echo $ns_dc->date; }
Your assumption is correct. Use $officeXML->{‘document-meta’} to make it work. Please note that the above applies to Element nodes. Attribute nodes (those within the @attributes property when dumping the SimpleXmlElement) do not require any special syntax to be accessed when hyphenated. They are regularly accessible via array notation, e.g. $xml = <<< XML <root> <hyphenated-element … Read more
Try this XPath: /object/data[@type=”me”] Which reads as: Select (/) children of the current element called object Select (/) their children called data Filter ([…]) that list to elements where … the attribute type (the @ means “attribute”) has the text value me So: $myDataObjects = $simplexml->xpath(‘/object/data[@type=”me”]’); If object is not the root of your document, … Read more
Contrary to popular belief in the existing answers, each Simplexml element node can be removed from the document just by itself and unset(). The point in case is just that you need to understand how SimpleXML actually works. First locate the element you want to remove: list($element) = $doc->xpath(‘/*/seg[@id=”A12″]’); Then remove the element represented in … Read more
Try this $xml->attributes()->Token
