Note Submitter: mikhail dot nemtsev at gmail dot com ---- This example uses get_elements_by_tagname() and child_nodes() to output the contents of the xml file. The sample xml file and php code are below. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <dictionary> <entry> <word>Hello</word> <meaning>used to express a greeting</meaning> <example>Hello World!</example> </entry> </dictionary> <?php $xml_path = "/some/dir/dictionary.xml"; if (!$dom = domxml_open_file($xml_path)) { //the above requires absolube path exit("Could not access the XML source."); } $root = $dom->document_element(); //obtain the root $array_entry = $root->get_elements_by_tagname("entry"); //gets all <entry> DomElems foreach ($array_entry as $entry_dom_elem) { $childnodes = $entry_dom_elem->child_nodes(); foreach ($childnodes as $child) { //cycle thru <word>, <meaning>, <example> echo "node name: ".$child->tagname() . "; contains: " . $child->get_content()."<br>"; } } ?> The above code outputs: node name: word; contains: Hello node name: meaning; contains: used to express a greeting node name: example; contains: Hello World!
