simplexml_load_file -- Interprets an XML file into an object.
Description
object simplexml_element simplexml_load_file ( string filename)
This function will convert the well-formed XML document
in the file specified by filename to an object of class
simplexml_element. If any errors occur during file access
or interpretation, the function returns FALSE.
Example 1. Interpret an XML document
<?php
// The file test.xml contains an XML document with a root
element
// and at least an element /[root]/title.
if (file_exists('test.xml')) {
$xml = simplexml_load_file('test.xml');
var_dump($xml);
} else {
exit('Failed to open test.xml.');
}
?>
This script will display, on success:
simplexml_element Object
(
[title] => Example Title
...
)
At this point, you can go about using $xml->title and
any other elements.
