You can validate files in PHP 5 using the DOM extension: $file = 'foo.xml'; $schema = 'foo.xsd'; $foo = DOMDocument::load($file); if ($foo->schemaValidate($schema)) { print "$file is valid.\n"; } else { print "$file is invalid.\n"; } This does XML Schema validation, but there's also relaxNGValidate() for RelaxNG. If your document declares a DTD, then you can call validate() for a DTD validation. -adam -- adam@trachtenberg.com author of o'reilly's php cookbook avoid the holiday rush, buy your copy today!
