I have a php file, with xml headers, that i wish my script to load.
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->load( 'xmlscript.php' );
Will not work, only files with *.xml. How can i make it load the file, like it is a xml file?
Since it's the data from db, that it shows in xml format, the file is in .php.
You'll have to get the output from the PHP file, and parse that.
ob_start();
include 'xmlscript.php';
$result = ob_get_clean();
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc -> loadXml($result);
Something like that may help.

I am beginner in PHP, XSLT. Found solution for transform XML using XSLT:
$xml = Array2XML::createXML('Document', $result);
$xsl = new DOMDocument;
$xsl->load('Teema.xsl');
$processor = new XSLTProcessor();
$processor->importStyleSheet($xsl);
$results=$processor->transformToXML($xml);
$results=$processor->transformToUri($xml,"NewTeema.xml" );
But, what to do if I have 2 or more XMLs?
This $xml is not file, and I dont want to save each xml, like file on server (because it is was converted response json). Any ideas?
In the XSLT you can load additional document using the document() function.
Another possibility is to register a PHP function that loads the file and returns the value or DOM node.
Good solution, but I decided to merge 2 json, like this:
json_encode(array_merge(json_decode($result,
true),json_decode($resultProducts, true)));
And the use = Array2XML::createXML('Document', $result);
Currently I have a PHP file that reads posted XML and then converts/outputs it to JSON. This file looks like this:
<?php
file_put_contents('myxmlfile.xml', file_get_contents('php://input'));
$xmldoc = new DOMDocument();
$xmldoc->load("myxmlfile.xml");
$xpathvar = new DOMXPath($xmldoc);
// Etc etc, for the purpose of my question seeing the rest isn't necessary
// After finishing the conversion I save the file as a JSON file.
file_put_contents('myjsonfile.json', $JSONContent);
?>
The data I'm receiving comes in XML format. To convert it I'm currently saving it as an XML file, and then immediately after creating a new DOMDocument() and loading it in. My question is, is there any way I can cut out the middle man and just load in the XML directly using file_get_contents()?
Ideally it would be this (didn't work):
$xmldoc->load(file_get_contents("php://input"));
If anyone could help me do this I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks
To load from string, instead of filename, use loadXML method.
$xmldoc->loadXML(file_get_contents("php://input"));
I have two different XML structured documents, an XSLT that renames the elements and nodes of them to satisfy both and a PHP code that will save them into a new XML doc.
This is the code I used for testing purposes, however how can I load two or more paths like book1.xml and book2.xml into the $xml ? I know how to $dom->load( 'book1.xml' );
<?php
// create an XSLT processor and load the stylesheet as a DOM
$xproc = new XsltProcessor();
$xslt = new DomDocument;
$xslt->load('stylesheet.xslt'); // this contains the code from above
$xproc->importStylesheet($xslt);
// your DOM or the source XML (copied from your question)
$xml = '';
$dom = new DomDocument;
$dom->loadXML($xml);
?>
Read about and use the standard XSLT function document().
In XSLT 2.0 there is also standard support for producing multiple result documents -- read about the <xsl:result-document> element.
If you are bound to XSLT 1.0, you cannot produce more than one result document in one transformation. You can either use extension libraries (EXSLT, the <exsl:document> extension element) or you can produce all results in one result document and then produce every single result out of it using another transformation, that you run once for producing each result.
I need to create a new XML file and write that to my server. So, I am looking for the best way to create a new XML file, write some base nodes to it, save it. Then open it again and write more data.
I have been using file_put_contents() to save the file. But, to create a new one and write some base nodes I am not sure of the best method.
Ideas?
DOMDocument is a great choice. It's a module specifically designed for creating and manipulating XML documents. You can create a document from scratch, or open existing documents (or strings) and navigate and modify their structures.
$xml = new DOMDocument();
$xml_album = $xml->createElement("Album");
$xml_track = $xml->createElement("Track");
$xml_album->appendChild( $xml_track );
$xml->appendChild( $xml_album );
$xml->save("/tmp/test.xml");
To re-open and write:
$xml = new DOMDocument();
$xml->load('/tmp/test.xml');
$nodes = $xml->getElementsByTagName('Album') ;
if ($nodes->length > 0) {
//insert some stuff using appendChild()
}
//re-save
$xml->save("/tmp/test.xml");
PHP has several libraries for XML Manipulation.
The Document Object Model (DOM) approach (which is a W3C standard and should be familiar if you've used it in other environments such as a Web Browser or Java, etc). Allows you to create documents as follows
<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument( );
$ele = $doc->createElement( 'Root' );
$ele->nodeValue = 'Hello XML World';
$doc->appendChild( $ele );
$doc->save('MyXmlFile.xml');
?>
Even if you haven't come across the DOM before, it's worth investing some time in it as the model is used in many languages/environments.
With FluidXML you can generate and store an XML document very easily.
$doc = fluidxml();
$doc->add('Album', true)
->add('Track', 'Track Title');
$doc->save('album.xml');
Loading a document from a file is equally simple.
$doc = fluidify('album.xml');
$doc->query('//Track')
->attr('id', 123);

I'm using PHP to extract data from a MySQL database. I am able to build an XML file using DOM functions. Then using echo $dom->saveXML(); , I am able to return the XML from an AJAX call. Instead of using AJAX to get the XML, how would I save the XML file to a spot on the server? Thanks
Use the DOMDocument::save() method to save the XML document into a file:
$dom->save('document.xml');
Doesn't DOMDocument::save() help you?
Use PHP XML DOM Parser to create and save XML file. The following code and tutorial would be found from here - Create and Save XML File using PHP
$xmlString = 'Insert XML Content';
$dom = new DOMDocument;
$dom->preserveWhiteSpace = FALSE;
$dom->loadXML($xmlString);
$dom->save('fileName.xml');
Besides "save" option of the DOM itself stated by two previous ansers, you could also use this piece of code:
$strxml = $dom->saveXML();
$handle = fopen("yourxmlfile.xml", "w");
fwrite($handle, $strxml);
fclose($handle);
And you are done.
Remember that the user running your application server (Apache, probably) will need permissions to write in the directory you are placing the XML file.
