SimpleXMLElement::__construct

Creates a new SimpleXMLElement object.

A well-formed XML string or the path or URL to an XML document if data_is_url is TRUE.

Optionally used to specify additional Libxml parameters.

By default, data_is_url is FALSE. Use TRUE to specify that data is a path or URL to an XML document instead of string data.

Namespace prefix or URI.

TRUE if ns is a prefix, FALSE if it's a URI; defaults to FALSE.

Returns a SimpleXMLElement object representing data.

Produces an E_WARNING error message for each error found in the XML data and additionally throws an Exception if the XML data could not be parsed.

Use libxml_use_internal_errors() to suppress all XML errors, and libxml_get_errors() to iterate over them afterwards.

Added the ns and is_prefix parameters.

Added the options and data_is_url parameters.

Note:

Listed examples may include example.php, which refers to the XML string found in the first example of the basic usage guide.

<?php

include 'example.php';

$sxe = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);
echo $sxe->movie[0]->title;

?>

PHP: Behind the Parser

<?php

$sxe = new SimpleXMLElement('http://example.org/document.xml', NULL, TRUE);
echo $sxe->asXML();

?>
