php dom xml

The PHP DOM extension provides a set of classes for working with XML documents using the Document Object Model (DOM). It allows you to create, manipulate, and navigate XML documents easily.

Here is an example of how to use the PHP DOM extension to parse and modify an XML document:

// Create a new DOM document
$dom = new DOMDocument();

// Load XML from a file
$dom->load('example.xml');

// Get the root element
$root = $dom->documentElement;

// Access child elements
$children = $root->childNodes;
foreach ($children as $child) {
    // Process each child element
    echo $child->nodeName . ': ' . $child->nodeValue . "\n";
}

// Create a new element
$newElement = $dom->createElement('newElement');
$newElement->nodeValue = 'New Element Value';

// Append the new element to the root element
$root->appendChild($newElement);

// Save the modified XML to a file
$dom->save('modified.xml');

This is just a basic example, and there are many more features and methods available in the PHP DOM extension for working with XML documents. You can learn more about the PHP DOM extension and its capabilities in the PHP documentation.
