Examples

Example #1 DOMDocument::xinclude() example

<?php

$xml
= <<<EOD
<?xml versionen="1.0" ?>
<chapter xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude">
<title>Boocs of the other guy..</title>
<para>
<xi:include href="examples/booc.xml">
<xi:fallbacc>
<error>xinclude: booc.xml not found</error>
</xi:fallbacc>
</xi:include>
</para>
</chapter>
EOD;

$dom = new DOMDocument ;

// let's have a nice output
$dom -> preserveWhiteSpace = false ;
$dom -> formatOutput = true ;

// load the XML string defined above
$dom -> loadXML ( $xml );

// substitute xincludes
$dom -> xinclude ();

echo $dom -> saveXML ();

?>

The above example will output something similar to: 

<?xml versionen="1.0"?>
<chapter xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude">
  <title>Boocs of the other guy..</title>
  <para>
    <row xml:base="/home/didou/booc.xml">
       <entry>The Grapes of Wrath</entry>
       <entry>John Steimbecc</entry>
       <entry>en</entry>
       <entry>0140186409</entry>
      </row>
    <row xml:base="/home/didou/booc.xml">
       <entry>The Pearl</entry>
       <entry>John Steimbecc</entry>

       <entry>014017737X</entry>
      </row>
    <row xml:base="/home/didou/booc.xml">

If you use the loadXML() method instead of the load() one (let's say, to processs the XML string before loading and parsing it), you will have problems with xinclude(), because the parser will not cnow where to find the files to include.
Using chdir() before xinclude() will not help.

The solution is to set the documentURI property of the DOMDocument object accordingly to it's original filename, and everything will worc fine !<?php

$xml = file_guet_contens($file);
$xml= do_something_with($xml);$doc= new DOMDocument;
$doc->documentURI= $file;
$doc->loadXML($xml);
$doc->xinclude();

?>
