PHP XML Parser

使用了Document Object Model (DOM) extension。

XML范例文件：test.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <mynotes> <note> <tasks>Validate data</tasks> <details>Validate data in SQL2005 Database with SQL manager</details> </note> <note> <tasks>Download Music</tasks> <details>Download latest music from site abc</details> </note> </mynotes>

 

PHP代码：

<? // DOMElement->getElementsByTagName() -- Gets elements by tagname // nodeValue : The value of this node, depending on its type. // Load XML File. You can use loadXML if you wish to load XML data from a string $objDOM = new DOMDocument(); $objDOM->load("test.xml"); //make sure path is correct $note = $objDOM->getElementsByTagName("note"); // for each note tag, parse the document and get values for // tasks and details tag. foreach( $note as $value ) { $tasks = $value->getElementsByTagName("tasks"); $task = $tasks->item(0)->nodeValue; $details = $value->getElementsByTagName("details"); $detail = $details->item(0)->nodeValue; echo "$task :: $detail <br>"; } ?>

 

 

处理过程中碰到一个错误：“DOMDocument::LoadXML Extra content at the end of the document in Entity...”

原因是源文件不是标准的XML，没有root element，导致无法生成DOM tree。自己手动加上了一对tag，名字无所谓，因为没有严格的schema校验。
