How to use XML DOM in PHP
In this article I am going to explain about XML DOM.
PHP XML DOM
The XML DOM (Document Object Model ) is used for accessing and manipulating XML
documents. In it XML elements can be created and added as node objects to the
XML tree structure.
There are two basic type of XMl parser:
- Tree-based parser
The tree based parser is used to load the entire XML document into memory
and provides access to the tree element. e.g, Document object model (DOM).
- Event based parser
Event based parser is used when a specific event occurs, it call a function
to handle it.
Example of
XML DOM
To load XML file with XML DOM ,follow the fallowing steps:

<note>
<to>Mcn_Solution</to>
<from>Dinesh</from>
<heading>Singhr</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note> |
After it, create a PHP application for loading an XML file:
