note 73659 added to function.simplexml-element-asXML

Awww snap. If you are to do something like this: <?php // ... You have already read an xml file into a SimpleXMLElement stored in variable $poop $poop = $simpEle->addChild("poop"); $poop->addAttribute("from", "Myself"); $poop->addChild("smell", "stinky"); file_put_contents("xml.xml", $poop->asXML()); ?> It will add all of the new xml on one line <poop from="Myself"><smell>stinky</smell></poop> So when you look at what was originally a nicely tabbed out xml file, it looks like doof. I understand why this happens, so let me just say that it would be awesome if someone wrote and shared function that takes the asXML() string, parses it, and returns a nicely tabbed out version. As a lot of the XML files I work with are smaller than large, the benefit of having a file readable to the human eye far outweights the benefit of having a smaller filesize. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 209.223.157.241 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-element-asXML.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73659 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73659/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73659/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73659/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73659/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73659/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73659/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73659 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73659 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
