DOM XML Functions
简介
The DOM XML extension has been overhauled in PHP 4.3.0 to better comply with the DOM standard. The extension still contains many old functions, but they should no longer be used. In particular, functions that are not object-oriented should be avoided.
The extension allows you to operate on an XML document with the DOM API. It also provides a function domxml_xmltree() to turn the complete XML document into a tree of PHP objects. Currently, this tree should be considered read-only - you can modify it, but this would not make any sense since DomDocument_dump_mem() cannot be applied to it. Therefore, if you want to read an XML file and write a modified version, use DomDocument_create_element(), DomDocument_create_text_node(), set_attribute(), etc. and finally the DomDocument_dump_mem() function.
Note: 本扩展已被移动到 » PECL 库中且自以下版本起不再被绑定到 PHP 中：5.0.0.
Note: This extension is no longer marked experimental. It will, however, never be released with PHP 5, and will only be distributed with PHP 4. If you need DOM XML support with PHP 5 you can use the DOM extension. This domxml extension is not compatible with the DOM extension.
需求
This extension makes use of the » GNOME XML library. Download and install this library. You will need at least libxml-2.4.14. To use DOM XSLT features you can use the » libxslt library and EXSLT enhancements from » http://www.exslt.org/. Download and install these libraries if you plan to use (enhanced) XSLT features. You will need at least libxslt-1.0.18.
安装
本 » PECL 扩展未绑定于 PHP 中。 安装此 PECL 扩展库的信息可在手册中标题为 PECL 扩展库安装的一章中找到。 更多信息如新版本，下载，源文件，维护者信息以及更新日志等可以在这里找到： » http://pecl.php.net/package/domxml.
在 PHP 4 中本 PECL 扩展的源程序位于 PHP 源程序中的 ext/ 目录下或者在上面的 PECL 连接中。 This extension is only available if PHP was configured with --with-dom[=DIR]. Add --with-dom-xslt[=DIR] to include DOM XSLT support. DIR is the libxslt install directory. Add --with-dom-exslt[=DIR] to include DOM EXSLT support, where DIR is the libexslt install directory.
Windows users will enable php_domxml.dll inside of php.ini in order to use these functions. 在 PHP 4 中本 DLL 位于 PHP Windows 执行包中的 extensions/ 目录下。 可以从 » PHP 下载页面或者 » http://snaps.php.net/ 下载此 PECL 扩展的 DLL 文件。 Also, there is one additional DLL that must be made available to your system's PATH in order for this extension to work. In PHP 4 this is in the dlls/ directory. It's name: For PHP <= 4.2.0, it's libxml2.dll. For PHP >= 4.3.0, it's iconv.dll. And as of PHP 5.0.0, iconv is compiled into your Windows PHP binaries by default so no extra DLL is needed.
Deprecated functions
There are quite a few functions that do not fit into the DOM standard and should no longer be used. These functions are listed in the following table. The function DomNode_append_child() has changed its behaviour. It now adds a child and not a sibling. If this breaks your application, use the non-DOM function DomNode_append_sibling().
| Old function | New function |
|---|---|
| xmldoc | domxml_open_mem() |
| xmldocfile | domxml_open_file() |
| domxml_new_xmldoc | domxml_new_doc() |
| domxml_dump_mem | DomDocument_dump_mem() |
| domxml_dump_mem_file | DomDocument_dump_file() |
| DomDocument_dump_mem_file | DomDocument_dump_file() |
| DomDocument_add_root | DomDocument_create_element() followed by DomNode_append_child() |
| DomDocument_dtd | DomDocument_doctype() |
| DomDocument_root | DomDocument_document_element() |
| DomDocument_children | DomNode_child_nodes() |
| DomDocument_imported_node | No replacement. |
| DomNode_add_child | Create a new node with e.g. DomDocument_create_element() and add it with DomNode_append_child(). |
| DomNode_children | DomNode_child_nodes() |
| DomNode_parent | DomNode_parent_node() |
| DomNode_new_child | Create a new node with e.g. DomDocument_create_element() and add it with DomNode_append_child(). |
| DomNode_set_content | Create a new node with e.g. DomDocument_create_text_node() and add it with DomNode_append_child(). |
| DomNode_get_content | Content is just a text node and can be accessed with DomNode_child_nodes(). |
| DomNode_set_content | Content is just a text node and can be added with DomNode_append_child(). |

Classes
The API of the module follows the DOM Level 2 standard as closely as possible. Consequently, the API is fully object-oriented. It is a good idea to have the DOM standard available when using this module. Though the API is object-oriented, there are many functions which can be called in a non-object-oriented way by passing the object to operate on as the first argument. These functions are mainly to retain compatibility to older versions of the extension, and should not be used when creating new scripts.
This API differs from the official DOM API in two ways. First, all class attributes are implemented as functions with the same name. Secondly, the function names follow the PHP naming convention. This means that a DOM function lastChild() will be written as last_child().
This module defines a number of classes, which are listed - including their method - in the following tables. Classes with an equivalent in the DOM standard are named DOMxxx.

范例
Many examples in this reference require an XML string. Instead of repeating this string in every example, it will be put into a file which will be included by each example. This include file is shown in the following example section. Alternatively, you could create an XML document and read it with DomDocument_open_file().
Example#1 Include file example.inc with XML string
