Building XML Trees With PHP - Linking Out (
Page 11 of 11 )
And that's about it
for this article. Over the last few pages, I showed you how you to build an XML
document tree even if your PHP build doesn't support the XML DOM, via the free
add-on XMLTree class from PEAR. I showed you how to programmatically create an
XML document, how to construct root and child nodes and attributes, how to remove
nodes from an existing document tree, and how to convert your existing XML files
into XMLTree-compliant format Finally, I wrapped things up with a composite example
that demonstrated a practical, real-world use for all this code - converting the
data in a MySQL database into XML, and transforming it for use on a Web site with
PHP and XSLT.
All this is, of course, only the tip of the iceberg - there are an infinite number
of possibilities with power like this at your disposal. To find out what else
you can do with XML and PHP, I'd encourage you to visit the following links:
