    xml_parse — Start parsing an XML document

    Beschreibung

    xml_parse(XMLParser $parser, string $data, bool $is_final = false): int

    xml_parse() parses an XML document. The handlers for the configured events are called as many times as necessary.

    Parameter-Liste

    parser

    A reference to the XML parser to use.

    data

    Chunk of data to parse. A document may be parsed piece-wise by calling xml_parse() several times with new data, as long as the is_final parameter is set and true when the last data is parsed.

    is_final

    If set and true, data is the last piece of data sent in this parse.

    Rückgabewerte

    Returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.

    For unsuccessful parses, error information can be retrieved with xml_get_error_code(), xml_error_string(), xml_get_current_line_number(), xml_get_current_column_number() and xml_get_current_byte_index().

    Hinweis:

    Some errors (such as entity errors) are reported at the end of the data, thus only if is_final is set and true.

    Changelog

    Version Beschreibung
    8.0.0 parser erwartet nun eine XMLParser-Instanz; vorher wurde eine gültige xml-Ressource erwartet.

    Beispiele

    Beispiel #1 Chunked parsing of large XML documents

    This example shows how large XML documents can be read and parsed in chunks, so that it not necessary to keep the whole document in memory. Error handling is omitted for brevity.

    <?php
    $stream     = fopen('large.xml', 'r');
    $parser = xml_parser_create();
    // set up the handlers here
    while (($data = fread($stream, 16384))) {
    xml_parse($parser, $data); // parse the current chunk
    }
    xml_parse($parser, '', true); // finalize parsing
    xml_parser_free($parser);
    fclose($stream);

    Instead of passing a URL, we can pass the XML content to this class (either you
    want to use CURL, Socks or fopen to retrieve it first) and instead of using
    array, I'm using separator '|' to identify which data to get (in order to make
    it short to retrieve a complex XML data). Here is my class with built-in fopen
    which you can pass URL or you can pass the content instead :

    p/s : thanks to this great help page.

    <?php

    class xx_xml {

    // XML parser variables
    var $parser;
    var     $name;
    var     $attr;
    var     $data = array();
    var     $stack = array();
    var     $keys;
    var     $path;

    // either you pass url atau contents.
    // Use 'url' or 'contents' for the parameter
    var $type;

    // function with the default parameter value
    function xx_xml($url='http://www.example.com', $type='url') {
    $this->type = $type;
    $this->url = $url;
    $this->parse();
    }

    // parse XML data
    function parse()
    {
    $data = '';
    $this->parser = xml_parser_create();
    xml_set_object($this->parser, $this);
    xml_set_element_handler($this->parser, 'startXML', 'endXML');
    xml_set_character_data_handler($this->parser, 'charXML');

    xml_parser_set_option($this->parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, false);

    if (    $this->type == 'url') {
    // if use type = 'url' now we open the XML with fopen

    if (!($fp = @fopen($this->url, 'rb'))) {
    $this->error("Cannot open {$this->url}");
    }

    while ((    $data = fread($fp, 8192))) {
    if (!    xml_parse($this->parser, $data, feof($fp))) {
    $this->error(sprintf('XML error at line %d column %d',
    xml_get_current_line_number($this->parser),
    xml_get_current_column_number($this->parser)));
    }
    }
    } else if (    $this->type == 'contents') {
    // Now we can pass the contents, maybe if you want
    // to use CURL, SOCK or other method.
    $lines = explode("\n",$this->url);
    foreach (    $lines as $val) {
    if (    trim($val) == '')
    continue;
    $data = $val . "\n";
    if (!    xml_parse($this->parser, $data)) {
    $this->error(sprintf('XML error at line %d column %d',
    xml_get_current_line_number($this->parser),
    xml_get_current_column_number($this->parser)));
    }
    }
    }
    }

    function     startXML($parser, $name, $attr) {
    $this->stack[$name] = array();
    $keys = '';
    $total = count($this->stack)-1;
    $i=0;
    foreach (    $this->stack as $key => $val) {
    if (    count($this->stack) > 1) {
    if (    $total == $i)
    $keys .= $key;
    else
    $keys .= $key . '|'; // The saparator
    }
    else
    $keys .= $key;
    $i++;
    }
    if (    array_key_exists($keys, $this->data)) {
    $this->data[$keys][] = $attr;
    } else
    $this->data[$keys] = $attr;
    $this->keys = $keys;
    }

    function     endXML($parser, $name) {
    end($this->stack);
    if (    key($this->stack) == $name)
    array_pop($this->stack);
    }

    function     charXML($parser, $data) {
    if (    trim($data) != '')
    $this->data[$this->keys]['data'][] = trim(str_replace("\n", '', $data));
    }

    function     error($msg) {
    echo     "<div align=\"center\">
    <font color=\"red\"><b>Error:     $msg</b></font>
    </div>"    ;
    exit();
    }
    }

    ?>

    And example of retrieving XML data:
    p/s: example use to retrieve weather

    <?php
    include_once "xx_xml.class.php";

    // Im using simple curl (the original is in class) to get the contents

    $pageurl = "http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=MYXX0008&u=c";
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $pageurl );
    $thecontents = curl_exec ( $ch );
    curl_close($ch);

    // We want to pass only a ready XML content instead of URL
    // But if you want to use URL , skip the curl functions above and use this
    // $xx4 = new xx_xml("url here",'url');

    $xx4 = new xx_xml($thecontents,'contents');
    // As you can see, we use saparator '|' instead of long array
    $Code = $xx4->data ['rss|channel|item|yweather:condition']['code'] ;
    $Celcius = $xx4->data ['rss|channel|item|yweather:condition']['temp'] ;
    $Text = $xx4->data ['rss|channel|item|yweather:condition']['text'] ;
    $Cityname = $xx4->data ['rss|channel|yweather:location']['city'] ;

    ?>

    Hope this helps.

    Returns a well formed array like the structure of the xml-document

    <root>
    <child1>
    <child1child1/>
    </child1>
    </root>

    create an array like
    array[root][child1][child1child1]
