SimpleXMLElement::__construct

(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

SimpleXMLElement::__constructErstellt ein neues SimpleXMLElement-Objekt

Beschreibung

public SimpleXMLElement::__construct(
    string $data,
    int $options = 0,
    bool $dataIsURL = false,
    string $namespaceOrPrefix = "",
    bool $isPrefix = false
)

Erstellt ein neues SimpleXMLElement-Objekt.

Parameter-Liste

data

Ein wohlgeformter XML-String, oder der Pfad oder die URL zu einem XML-Dokument, wenn dataIsURL true ist.

options

Optional zu verwenden, um weitere Libxml-Parameter anzugeben, die das Lesen von XML-Dokumenten betreffen. Optionen, die die Ausgabe von XML-Dokumenten betreffen (z. B. LIBXML_NOEMPTYTAG) werden stillschweigend ignoriert.

Hinweis:

Es kann erforderlich sein, die Option LIBXML_PARSEHUGE zu übergeben, um tief verschachteltes XML oder sehr große Textknoten verarbeiten zu können.

dataIsURL

Standardmäßig ist dataIsURL false. Verwenden Sie true, um data als Pfad oder URL zu einem XML-Dokument an Stelle eines Daten-Strings anzugeben.

namespaceOrPrefix

Ein Namensraum-Präfix oder -URI.

isPrefix

true, wenn namespaceOrPrefix ein Präfix ist, false, wenn es ein URI ist; der Standardwert ist false.

Fehler/Exceptions

Erzeugt eine E_WARNING-Fehlermeldung für jeden gefundenen Fehler in den XML-Daten und wirft zusätzlich eine Exception, wenn die XML-Daten nicht geparst werden konnten.

Tipp

libxml_use_internal_errors() kann verwendet werden, um alle XML-Fehler zu unterdrücken, und libxml_get_errors(), um danach über diese zu iterieren.

Beispiele

Hinweis:

Die aufgeführten Beispiele binden möglicherweise example.php ein, das die XML-Zeichenkette enthält, die im ersten Beispiel über die grundlegende Verwendung zu finden ist.

Beispiel #1 Erstellen eines SimpleXMLElement-Objekts

<?php

include 'example.php';

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

?>

Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:

PHP: Behind the Parser

Beispiel #2 Erstellen eines SimpleXMLElement-Objekts von einer URL

<?php

$sxe
= new SimpleXMLElement('http://example.org/document.xml', 0, true);
echo
$sxe->asXML();

?>

The manual doesn't really explain what the $ns argument (and the accompanying $is_prefix) are for.

What they do is similar to the ->children() method: they set the context of the returned object to that namespace, so that access via ->elementName and ['attributeName'] refer to elements and attributes in that namespace.

In particular, they do *not* change the namespaces which exist on the document.

See this example:

<?php
// This XML contains two elements called <child>
// One is in the namespace http://example.com, with local prefix 'ws'
// The other has no namespace (no prefix, and no default namespace declared)
$xml = '<ws:example xmlns:ws="http://example.com"><child>Not in namespace</child><ws:child>In example namespace</ws:child></ws:example>';

$sx0 = new SimpleXMLElement($xml, 0, false);
$sx1 = new SimpleXMLElement($xml, 0, false, 'http://example.com');
$sx2 = new SimpleXMLElement($xml, 0, false, 'ws', true);

echo
"
Without:
{$sx0->child}
By namespace:
{$sx1->child}
By prefix:
{$sx2->child}
"
;
?>

Output:

Without: Not in namespace
By namespace: In example namespace
By prefix: In example namespace

This class is extendable, but it's too bad that its constructor cannot be overriden (PHP says it's a final method). Thus the class should be wrapped using the delegation principle rather that extended.

Extended SimpleXMLElement:
<?php
class XmlElement extends \SimpleXMLElement
{
public static function
factory(string $root): self
{
return new static(
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><'.$root.'/>', LIBXML_BIGLINES | LIBXML_COMPACT);
}

/**
* @param iterable $attributes An array of element attributes as name/value pairs
* @return $this
*/
public function addAttributes(iterable $attributes)
{
foreach (
$attributes as $name => $value) {
$this->addAttribute($name, $value);
}

return
$this;
}

/**
* @param string $name The sub-element name
* @param string|array|null $valueOrAttributes The sub-element value or an array of attributes
* @param string|null $namespace The sub-element namespace
* @return static|null
*/
public function addChild($name, $valueOrAttributes = null, $namespace = null)
{
if (
is_array($valueOrAttributes)) {
$child = parent::addChild($name, null, $namespace);
foreach (
$valueOrAttributes as $name => $value) {
$child->addAttribute($name, $value);
}
} else {
$child = parent::addChild($name, $valueOrAttributes, $namespace);
}

return
$child;
}

/**
* @param iterable $childs An array of sub-elements as name/value(or attributes) pairs
* @return $this
*/
public function addChilds(iterable $childs)
{
foreach (
$childs as $name => $value) {
$this->addChild($name, $value);
}

return
$this;
}
}
?>

You won't be able to load an XML file without root element:

//This will throw an exception
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>', null, false);

//Here is the solution
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><root></root>', null, false);

It's worth noting that the behavior of SimpleXmlElement::__construct is not exactly the same as simplexml_load_string, regarding libxml_use_internal_errors().

In my case,

<?php
libxml_use_internal_errors
(true);
new
\SimpleXmlElement($data);
?>

was still throwing error. But as soon as I switched to

<?php
libxml_use_internal_errors
(true);
simplexml_load_string($data);
?>

everything worked fine and I stopped getting an error.

Using libxml_use_internal_errors() may suppress errors but Exception still requires decent handling. I used following code snippet.

<?php
libxml_use_internal_errors
(true);
try{
$xmlToObject = new SimpleXMLElement($notSoWellFormedXML);
} catch (
Exception $e){
echo
'Please try again later...';
exit();
}
?>

As I was filling out a bug report, I realized why (speculation here) the constructor is final: so that functions like simplexml_load_file and simplexml_load_string can work. I imagine the PHP-ized code looks something like

<?php

function simplexml_load_file($filename, $class_name = "SimpleXMLElement", $options = 0, $ns = "", $is_prefix = false) {
return new
$class_name($filename, $options, true, $ns, $is_prefix);
}

?>

If we were to use a different $class_name and change the constructor's definition these functions wouldn't work.

There's no easy, sensible solution that keeps simplexml_load_file and simplexml_load_string.

It's worth noting, that you need to typecast dynamic property names to string in order to retrieve there value, for example:

<?php
$xml
= new SimpleXMLElement('records.xml', 0, true);

// This will work as expected because its a hard coded property value
foreach($xml as $record){
echo
$record->id; // Will output the ID fine
}

// Dynamic properties require typecasting to string
$xml_field = 'id';
foreach(
$xml as $record){

// This will dump a SimpleXMLElement object
var_dump($record->$xml_field);

// This will output the value as expected
echo (string)$record->$xml_field;
}
?>
