When we have to process a very large XML, it is unfortunately not possible to use SimpleXML. Fortunately for this, we can use DOMDocument. To do this, just load the desired file and initialize xpath on it with DOMXPath. $document = new DOMDocument(); $document->load($file); $xpath = new DOMXPath($document); If the XML in question has a … Read more
When you want to process an XML file in PHP, there are two possibilities: either we use SimpleXML or we go through DOMDocument. In this article I will deal more specifically with SimpleXML. To load a file, just use the simplexml_load_file method $xml = simplexml_load_file($file); By doing so, you get a SimpleXMLElement. If the XML … Read more
