php generates xml simple example code

Use PHP DOMDocument to create dynamic XML files

When dealing with XML-based applications , developers often need to create XML-encoded data structures. For example, XML status templates in the Web based on user input, server request XML statements, and client responses based on runtime parameters.
Although the construction of XML data structure is time-consuming, if you use the mature PHP DOM application programming interface, everything will become simple and clear. This article will introduce you to the main functions of the PHP DOM application interface and demonstrate how to generate a correct complete XML file and save it to disk.
Create document type declaration
Generally speaking, the XML declaration is placed at the top of the document. Declaration in PHP is very simple: just instantiate an object of the DOM document class and give it a version number. View program listing A:
Program listing A

saveXML(); 
?>

Please note the saveXML() method of the DOM document object. I'll go into more detail about this method later, but for now you just need to briefly realize that it is used to output the current snapshot of the XML document to a file or browser. In this example, I've output the ASCII text directly to the browser to enhance readability. In practical applications, text/XML header files can be sent to the browser.

If you view the output in a browser, you can see the following code:

Add elements and text nodes
The real power of XML comes from its elements and encapsulated content. Fortunately, once you initialize the DOM document, many operations become very simple. This process includes the following two steps:
For each element or text node you want to add, call the createElement() or createTextNode() method of the DOM document object through the element name or text content. This creates a new object corresponding to the element or text node.
Add an element or text node to the parent node in the XML document tree by calling the node's appendChild() method and passing it the object created in the previous step.
The following example will clearly demonstrate these 2 steps, please see Listing B.
Program List B

createElement("toppings"); 
    $dom->appendChild($root); 
     
    // create child element 
    $item = $dom->createElement("item"); 
    $root->appendChild($item); 
     
    // create text node 
    $text = $dom->createTextNode("pepperoni"); 
    $item->appendChild($text); 
     
    // save and display tree 
    echo $dom->saveXML(); 
?>

Copy after login

Here, I first create a root element named and attribute it to the XML header file. Then, I create an element named and make it the root element. Finally, I create a text node with a value of "pepperoni" and assign it to the element. The end result is as follows:

 
 
    pepperoni

If you want to add another topping, just create another and add different content, as shown in Listing C.
Program Listing C

createElement("toppings"); 
     
    $dom->appendChild($root); 
    // create child element 
     
    $item = $dom->createElement("item"); 
    $root->appendChild($item); 
     
    // create text node 
    $text = $dom->createTextNode("pepperoni"); 
    $item->appendChild($text); 
     
    // create child element 
    $item = $dom->createElement("item"); 
    $root->appendChild($item); 
     
    // create another text node 
    $text = $dom->createTextNode("tomato"); 
    $item->appendChild($text); 
     
    // save and display tree 
    echo $dom->saveXML(); 
?>

Copy after login

The following is the output after executing Program Listing C:

 
 
    pepperoni 
    tomato

Add attributes
By using attributes, you can also add appropriate information to elements. For the PHP DOM API, adding an attribute requires two steps: first use the createAttribute() method of the DOM document object to create a node with the attribute name, and then add the document node to the attribute node with the attribute value. See Listing D for details.
Program List D

createElement("toppings"); 
    $dom->appendChild($root); 
     
    // create child element 
    $item = $dom->createElement("item"); 
    $root->appendChild($item); 
     
    // create text node 
    $text = $dom->createTextNode("pepperoni"); 
    $item->appendChild($text); 
     
    // create attribute node 
    $price = $dom->createAttribute("price"); 
    $item->appendChild($price); 
     
    // create attribute value node 
    $priceValue = $dom->createTextNode("4"); 
    $price->appendChild($priceValue); 
     
    // save and display tree 
    echo $dom->saveXML(); 
?>

Copy after login

The output is as follows:

 
 
    pepperoni

Add CDATA module and process wizard
Although the CDATA module and process wizard are not often used, by calling the DOM document object The createCDATASection() and createProcessingInstruction() methods, the PHP API also supports CDATA and process wizards well, see Listing E.
Program Listing E

createElement("toppings"); 
    $dom->appendChild($root); 
     
    // create child element 
    $item = $dom->createElement("item"); 
    $root->appendChild($item); 
     
    // create text node 
    $text = $dom->createTextNode("pepperoni"); 
    $item->appendChild($text); 
     
    // create attribute node 
    $price = $dom->createAttribute("price"); 
    $item->appendChild($price); 
     
    // create attribute value node 
    $priceValue = $dom->createTextNode("4"); 
    $price->appendChild($priceValue); 
     
    // create CDATA section 
    $cdata = $dom->createCDATASection(" Customer requests that pizza be sliced into 16 square pieces "); 
    $root->appendChild($cdata); 
     
    // create PI 
    $pi = $dom->createProcessingInstruction("pizza", "bake()"); 
    $root->appendChild($pi); 
     
    // save and display tree 
    echo $dom->saveXML(); 
?>

Copy after login

The output looks like this:

 
 
pepperoni

Saving the results
Once you have achieved your goal, you can save the results in a file or store it in PHP variable. The results can be saved in a file by calling the save() method with a file name, or in a PHP variable by calling the saveXML() method. Please refer to the following example (Program List F):
Program List F

createElement("toppings"); 
    $dom->appendChild($root); 
    $dom->formatOutput=true; 
     
    // create child element 
    $item = $dom->createElement("item"); 
    $root->appendChild($item); 
     
    // create text node 
    $text = $dom->createTextNode("pepperoni"); 
    $item->appendChild($text); 
     
    // create attribute node 
    $price = $dom->createAttribute("price"); 
    $item->appendChild($price); 
     
    // create attribute value node 
    $priceValue = $dom->createTextNode("4"); 
    $price->appendChild($priceValue); 
     
    // create CDATA section 
    $cdata = $dom->createCDATASection(" Customer requests that pizza be 
    sliced into 16 square pieces "); 
    $root->appendChild($cdata); 
     
    // create PI 
    $pi = $dom->createProcessingInstruction("pizza", "bake()"); 
    $root->appendChild($pi); 
     
    // save tree to file 
    $dom->save("order.xml"); 
     
    // save tree to string 
    $order = $dom->save("order.xml"); 
?>

The following is a practical example, you can test it.
xml.php (generate xml)

"; 
            $xmlDoc->loadXML($xmlstr); 
            $xmlDoc->save("01.xml"); 
        } else { 
        $xmlDoc->load("01.xml");
    } 
     
    $Root = $xmlDoc->documentElement; 
    while ($arr = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ 
        $node1 = $xmlDoc->createElement("id"); 
        $text = $xmlDoc->createTextNode(iconv("GB2312","UTF-8",$arr["id"])); 
        $node1->appendChild($text); 
        $node2 = $xmlDoc->createElement("name"); 
        $text2 = $xmlDoc->createTextNode(iconv("GB2312","UTF-8",$arr["username"])); 
        $node2->appendChild($text2); 
        $Root->appendChild($node1); 
        $Root->appendChild($node2); 
        $xmlDoc->save("01.xml"); 
        } 
    } 
    mysql_close($conn); 
?>
