children() function in PHP XML
PHP XML
From a XML string or tag we can get the children of a given node. We will be using simpleXMLElement object for this. Here is the XML string.
<?Php
$str_xml = <<<XML
<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?>
<details>
<name>Abcd</name>
<address>
<door_no>234-ac</door_no>
<street>Great Wall</street>
<city>Alabama</city>
</address>
</details>
XML;
?>
We have also used getName to display the tag name along with the children function. Here is the php code.
<?php
require "xml-sample1.php";
$main1 = new SimpleXMLElement($str_xml);
foreach ($main1->children() as $child1) {
echo '<br><b>getName</b> : '.$child1->getName().' <b>children</b> : '. $child1;
foreach ($child1->children() as $child2) {
echo '<br><b>getName</b> : '.$child2->getName().' <b>children</b> : '. $child2;
}
}
?>
The output is
getName : name children : Abcd
getName : address children :
getName : door_no children : 234-ac
getName : street children : Great Wall
getName : city children : Alabama
$xml = simplexml_load_file('file-xml-demo.xml');
echo $xml->details[0]->name; // Output John Deo
echo $xml->details[0]->count(); // Output 3
echo "<br>";
echo $xml->details[2]->name; // Output Arnold
To display all the data.
$xml = simplexml_load_file('file-xml-demo.xml');
foreach ($xml as $child1) {
echo "<br>". $child1->getName()." : $child1";
foreach ($child1 as $child2) {
echo "<br>". $child2->getName()." : $child2";
}
}
