php xml扩展,PHP扩展之XML操作（一）——SimpleXML

一、简介及安装

SimpleXML 扩展提供了一个非常简单和易于使用的工具集，能将 XML 转换成一个带有一般属性选择器和数组迭代器的对象。

此扩展需要 libxml PHP 扩展。这表示需要使用 --enable-libxml ，尽管这将隐式完成因为 libxml 是缺省开启的。

需要PHP5及以上版本。

此扩展默认为启用,编译时可通过下列选项禁用： --disable-simplexml

二、使用示例

基本使用

Example #1 Include file example.php with XML string<?php

$xmlstr = <<PHP: Behind the Parser

Ms. Coder

Onlivia Actora

Mr. Coder

El ActÓr

So, this language. It's like, a programming language. Or is it a

scripting language? All is revealed in this thrilling horror spoof

of a documentary.

XML;

?>

The simplicity of SimpleXML appears most clearly when one extracts a string or number from a basic XML document.

Example #2 Getting <?phpinclude 'example.php';

$movies = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);

echo $movies->movie[0]->plot;?>

以上例程会输出：So, this language. It's like, a programming language. Or is it a

scripting language? All is revealed in this thrilling horror spoof

of a documentary.

Accessing elements within an XML document that contain characters not permitted under PHP's naming convention (e.g. the hyphen) can be accomplished by encapsulating the element name within braces and the apostrophe.

Example #3 Getting <?phpinclude 'example.php';

$movies = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);

echo $movies->movie->{'great-lines'}->line;?>

以上例程会输出：PHP solves all my web problems

Example #4 Accessing non-unique elements in SimpleXML

When multiple instances of an element exist as children of a single parent element, normal iteration techniques apply.<?phpinclude 'example.php';

$movies = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);

/* For each node, we echo a separate . */foreach ($movies->movie->characters->character as $character) {

echo $character->name, ' played by ', $character->actor, PHP_EOL;}

?>

以上例程会输出：Ms. Coder played by Onlivia Actora

Mr. Coder played by El ActÓr

Note:

Properties ($movies->movie in previous example) are not arrays. They are iterable and accessible objects.

Example #5 Using attributes

So far, we have only covered the work of reading element names and their values. SimpleXML can also access element attributes. Access attributes of an element just as you would elements of an array.<?phpinclude 'example.php';

$movies = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);

/* Access the nodes of the first movie.* Output the rating scale, too. */

foreach ($movies->movie[0]->rating as $rating) {

switch((string) $rating['type']) { // Get attributes as element indicescase 'thumbs':echo $rating, ' thumbs up';

break;case 'stars':echo $rating, ' stars';break;}}

?>

以上例程会输出：7 thumbs up5 stars

Example #6 Comparing Elements and Attributes with Text

To compare an element or attribute with a string or pass it into a function that requires a string, you must cast it to a string using (string). Otherwise, PHP treats the element as an object.<?phpinclude 'example.php';

$movies = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);

if ((string) $movies->movie->title == 'PHP: Behind the Parser') {print 'My favorite movie.';}

echo htmlentities((string) $movies->movie->title);?>

以上例程会输出：My favorite movie.PHP: Behind the Parser

Example #7 Comparing Two Elements

Two SimpleXMLElements are considered different even if they point to the same element since PHP 5.2.0.<?phpinclude 'example.php';

$movies1 = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);$movies2 = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);

var_dump($movies1 == $movies2); // false since PHP 5.2.0?>

以上例程会输出：bool(false)

Example #8 Using XPath

SimpleXML includes built-in support. To find all elements:<?phpinclude 'example.php';

$movies = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);

foreach ($movies->xpath('//character') as $character) {

echo $character->name, 'played by ', $character->actor, PHP_EOL;}?>

'//' serves as a wildcard. To specify absolute paths, omit one of the slashes.

Example #9 Setting values

Data in SimpleXML doesn't have to be constant. The object allows for manipulation of all of its elements.<?phpinclude 'example.php';$movies = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);

$movies->movie[0]->characters->character[0]->name = 'Miss Coder';

echo $movies->asXML();?>

以上例程会输出：<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>

PHP: Behind the Parser

Example #10 Adding elements and attributes

Since PHP 5.1.3, SimpleXML has had the ability to easily add children and attributes.<?phpinclude 'example.php';$movies = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);

$character = $movies->movie[0]->characters->addChild('character');$character->addChild('name', 'Mr. Parser');

$character->addChild('actor', 'John Doe');

$rating = $movies->movie[0]->addChild('rating', 'PG');$rating->addAttribute('type', 'mpaa');

echo $movies->asXML();?>

以上例程会输出：<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>

Example #11 DOM Interoperability

PHP has a mechanism to convert XML nodes between SimpleXML and DOM formats. This example shows how one might change a DOM element to SimpleXML.<?php $dom = new DOMDocument;$dom->loadXML('

blah');if (!$dom) {echo 'Error while parsing the document';exit;}

$books = simplexml_import_dom($dom);

echo $books->book[0]->title;?>

以上例程会输出：blah

处理XML错误

Example #1 Loading broken XML string<?php

libxml_use_internal_errors(true);

$sxe = simplexml_load_string("<?xml version='1.0'>");

if ($sxe === false) {

echo "Failed loading XML\n";

foreach(libxml_get_errors() as $error) {

echo "\t", $error->message;

}

}

?>

以上例程会输出：Failed loading XML
