Eigenschaften

actualEncoding

Deprecated. Actual encoding of the document, is a readonly equivalent to encoding.

config

Deprecated. Configuration used when DOMDocument::normalizeDocument() is invoked.

doctype

The Document Type Declaration associated with this document.

documentElement

This is a convenience attribute that allows direct access to the child node that is the document element of the document.

documentURI

The location of the document or NULL if undefined.

encoding

Encoding of the document, as specified by the XML declaration. This attribute is not present in the final DOM Level 3 specification, but is the only way of manipulating XML document encoding in this implementation.

formatOutput

Nicely formats output with indentation and extra space.

implementation

The DOMImplementation object that handles this document.

preserveWhiteSpace

Do not remove redundant white space. Default to TRUE.

recover

Proprietary. Enables recovery mode, i.e. trying to parse non-well formed documents. This attribute is not part of the DOM specification and is specific to libxml.

resolveExternals

Set it to TRUE to load external entities from a doctype declaration. This is useful for including character entities in your XML document.

standalone

Deprecated. Whether or not the document is standalone, as specified by the XML declaration, corresponds to xmlStandalone.

strictErrorChecking

Throws DOMException on errors. Default to TRUE.

substituteEntities

Proprietary. Whether or not to substitute entities. This attribute is not part of the DOM specification and is specific to libxml.

validateOnParse

Loads and validates against the DTD. Default to FALSE.

version

Deprecated. Version of XML, corresponds to xmlVersion

xmlEncoding

An attribute specifying, as part of the XML declaration, the encoding of this document. This is NULL when unspecified or when it is not known, such as when the Document was created in memory.

xmlStandalone

An attribute specifying, as part of the XML declaration, whether this document is standalone. This is FALSE when unspecified.

xmlVersion

An attribute specifying, as part of the XML declaration, the version number of this document. If there is no declaration and if this document supports the "XML" feature, the value is "1.0".

Anmerkungen

Hinweis:

The DOM extension uses UTF-8 encoding. Use utf8_encode() and utf8_decode() to work with texts in ISO-8859-1 encoding or Iconv for other encodings.

A nice and simple node 2 array I wrote, worth a try ;)

<?php
function getArray($node)
{
   
$array = false;

    if (
$node->hasAttributes())
    {
        foreach (
$node->attributes as $attr)
        {
           
$array[$attr->nodeName] = $attr->nodeValue;
        }
    }

    if (
$node->hasChildNodes())
    {
        if (
$node->childNodes->length == 1)
        {
           
$array[$node->firstChild->nodeName] = $node->firstChild->nodeValue;
        }
        else
        {
            foreach (
$node->childNodes as $childNode)
            {
                if (
$childNode->nodeType != XML_TEXT_NODE)
                {
                   
$array[$childNode->nodeName][] = $this->getArray($childNode);
                }
            }
        }
    }

    return
$array;
}
?>

Be careful with any assumptions you may have about this library. Unlike XML parsers in other languages (such as Java), when parsing an XML Schema constrained XML document, defaults you may define (such as for attributes) will NOT be correctly represented in the DOMDocument.

If you're using AJAX, make sure you put a header directive like the following at the top of your php file.

<?php header( "content-type: application/xml; charset=ISO-8859-15" ); ?>

If you don't add this header then your javascript downloadURL function will not work because the content type will not be recognised to be XML.

After running into a problem with DomDocument and a UTF-8 encoded input string, a simple work-around was to convert the input string to ISO-8859-1, run my DOM queries, then convert back to UTF-8:

<?php
$xhtml
= 'a UTF-8 encoded string';
$xhtml = utf8_decode($xhtml); // convert UTF-8 string to ISO-8859-1

// doing some DOM manipulation here on $xhtml

$xhtml = utf8_encode($xhtml); // convert ISO-8859-1 string back to UTF-8
?>

Not ideal - but it worked for me.

After seeing many complaints about certain DOMDocument shortcomings, such as bad handling of encodings and always saving HTML fragments with <html>, <head>, and DOCTYPE, I decided that a better solution is needed.

So here it is: SmartDOMDocument. You can find it at http://beerpla.net/projects/smartdomdocument/

Currently, the main highlights are:

- SmartDOMDocument inherits from DOMDocument, so it's very easy to use - just declare an object of type SmartDOMDocument instead of DOMDocument and enjoy the new behavior on top of all existing functionality (see example below).

- saveHTMLExact() - DOMDocument has an extremely badly designed "feature" where if the HTML code you are loading does not contain <html> and <body> tags, it adds them automatically (yup, there are no flags to turn this behavior off).
Thus, when you call $doc->saveHTML(), your newly saved content now has <html><body> and DOCTYPE in it. Not very handy when trying to work with code fragments (XML has a similar problem).
SmartDOMDocument contains a new function called saveHTMLExact() which does exactly what you would want - it saves HTML without adding that extra garbage that DOMDocument does.

- encoding fix - DOMDocument notoriously doesn't handle encoding (at least UTF-8) correctly and garbles the output.
SmartDOMDocument tries to work around this problem by enhancing loadHTML() to deal with encoding correctly. This behavior is transparent to you - just use loadHTML() as you would normally.

- SmartDOMDocument Object As String - you can use a SmartDOMDocument object as a string which will print out its contents.
For example:
<?php
echo "Here is the HTML: $smart_dom_doc";
?>

I'm going to maintain this code and try to fix bugs as they come in.

Enjoy.

For anyone else who has been having issues with formatOuput not working, here is a work-around:

rather than just doing something like:

<?php
$outXML
= $xml->saveXML();
?>

force it to reload the XML from scratch, then it will format correctly:

<?php
$outXML
= $xml->saveXML();
$xml = new DOMDocument();
$xml->preserveWhiteSpace = false;
$xml->formatOutput = true;
$xml->loadXML($outXML);
$outXML = $xml->saveXML();

Here's a small function I wrote to get all page links using the DOMDocument which will hopefully be of use to others

<?php
/**
 * @author Jay Gilford
 */
 
/**
 * get_links()
 *
 * @param string $url
 * @return array
 */
function get_links($url) {
 
   
// Create a new DOM Document to hold our webpage structure
   
$xml = new DOMDocument();
 
   
// Load the url's contents into the DOM
   
$xml->loadHTMLFile($url);
 
   
// Empty array to hold all links to return
   
$links = array();
 
   
//Loop through each <a> tag in the dom and add it to the link array
   
foreach($xml->getElementsByTagName('a') as $link) {
       
$links[] = array('url' => $link->getAttribute('href'), 'text' => $link->nodeValue);
    }
 
   
//Return the links
   
return $links;
}
?>

Be careful with formatOutput().

Creating an empty node like this:
createElement('foo','')
instead of
createElement('foo')
will break formatOutput.

Child class of DOMDocument which has a toArray() method. Enjoy and/or improve
<?php
class MyDOMDocument extends DOMDocument
{
    public function

If you want to use the DOMDocument to create xHTML documents here is a simple class

Note this is designed for creating xHTML documents from scratch but could be easily extended to work with xHTML documents. Also this is for xHTML not XML.

<?php
   
class Document
   
{
        public
$doctype;
        public
$head;
        public
$title = 'Sensei Ninja';
        public
$body;
        private
$styles;
        private
$metas;
        private
$scripts;
        private
$document;
       
       
        function
__construct (  )
        {
           
$this->document = new DOMDocument( );
           
$this->head = $this->document->createElement( 'head', ' ' );
           
$this->body = $this->document->createElement( 'body', ' ' );
        }
       
       
        public function
addStyleSheet ( $url, $media='all' )
        {
           
$element = $this->document->createElement( 'link' );
           
$element->setAttribute( 'type', 'text/css' );
           
$element->setAttribute( 'href', $url );
           
$element->setAttribute( 'media', $media );
           
$this->styles[] = $element;
        }
       
       
        public function
addScript ( $url )
        {
           
$element = $this->document->createElement( 'script', ' ' );
           
$element->setAttribute( 'type', 'text/javascript' );

$this->scripts[] = $element;
        }
       
       
        public function
addMetaTag ( $name, $content )
        {
           
$element = $this->document->createElement( 'meta' );
           
$element->setAttribute( 'name', $name );
           
$element->setAttribute( 'content', $content );

        {

        }
       
       
        public function
setKeywords ( $keywords )
        {
           
$this->addMetaTag( 'keywords', $keywords );
        }
       
        public function
createElement ( $nodeName, $nodeValue=null )
        {
          return
$this->document->createElement( $nodeName, $nodeValue );
        }
       
        public function
assemble ( )
        {
           
// Doctype creation
           
$doctype = '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML TRANSITIONAL 1.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">';
           
           
// Create the head element

// Add stylesheets if needed
           
if ( is_array( $this->styles ))
                foreach (
$this->styles as $element )
                   
$this->head->appendChild( $element );
           
// Add scripts if needed
           
if(  is_array( $this->scripts ))
                foreach (
$this->scripts as $element )
                   
$this->head->appendChild( $element );
           
// Add meta tags if needed
           
if ( is_array( $this->metas ))
                foreach (
$this->metas as $element )
                   
$this->head->appendChild( $element );
           
$this->head->appendChild( $title );
           
           
// Create the document
           
$html = $this->document->createElement( 'html' );
           
$html->setAttribute( 'xmlns', 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' );
           
$html->setAttribute( 'xml:lang', 'en' );
           
$html->setAttribute( 'lang', 'en' );
           
$html->appendChild( $this->head );
           
$html->appendChild( $this->body );
           
           
           
$this->document->appendChild( $html );
            return
$doctype . $this->document->saveXML( );
        }
       
    }
   
?>

Small example

<?php
        $document
= new Document( );
   
$document->title = 'Hello';
   
$document->addStyleSheet( 'StyleSheets/main.css' );
   
$div = $document->createElement( 'div' );
   
$div->nodeValue = 'Hello, world!';
   
$div->setAttribute( 'style', 'color: red;' );
   
$document->body->appendChild( $div );
   
printf( '%s', $document->assemble( ) );
?>

It should be pointed out that DOMDocument extends DOMNode in every way... that means that you even have access to the DOMNode properties (even though the documentation here does not mention them as being inherited).

I used to use an XPath query to access nodes from a DOMDocument (when getElementById or getElementsByTagName weren't usable), as I believed this to be the only way.  However, since DOMDocument fully extends DOMNode, you can use DOMDocument->firstChild for example to get the first child node.

This simplifies things quite a bit when using an XPath query may seem a bit excessive to get access to something as simple as the child nodes.

This function may help to debug current dom element:

<?php
function dom_dump($obj) {
    if (
$classname = get_class($obj)) {
       
$retval = "Instance of $classname, node list: \n";
        switch (
true) {
            case (
$obj instanceof DOMDocument):
               
$retval .= "XPath: {$obj->getNodePath()}\n".$obj->saveXML($obj);
                break;
            case (
$obj instanceof DOMElement):
               
$retval .= "XPath: {$obj->getNodePath()}\n".$obj->ownerDocument->saveXML($obj);
                break;
            case (
$obj instanceof DOMAttr):
               
$retval .= "XPath: {$obj->getNodePath()}\n".$obj->ownerDocument->saveXML($obj);
               
//$retval .= $obj->ownerDocument->saveXML($obj);
               
break;
            case (
$obj instanceof DOMNodeList):
                for (
$i = 0; $i < $obj->length; $i++) {
                   
$retval .= "Item #$i, XPath: {$obj->item($i)->getNodePath()}\n".
"{$obj->item($i)->ownerDocument->saveXML($obj->item($i))}\n";
                }
                break;
            default:
                return
"Instance of unknown class";
        }
    } else {
        return
'no elements...';
    }
    return
htmlspecialchars($retval);
}
?>

Example usage:

<?php
$dom
= new DomDocument();
$dom->load('test.xml');
$body = $dom->documentElement->getElementsByTagName('book');
echo
'<pre>'.dom_dump($body).'<pre>';
?>

Output:

Here is a simple web scraping example using the PHP DOM that tries to get the largest text body of a HTML document. I needed it for a spider that had to show a short description for a page. It assumes that document annotation can be the largest <div>, <td> or <p> element in the page.
In the example I show a way to prevent a bug in the DOM as it sometimes just doesn't recognize html encoding. It seems to work if you put charset meta tag right after the head tag of the document.

<?php
$ch
= curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, '...put url here...' );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_VERBOSE,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'set sth...');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, '...set sth...'); //just a fake referer
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 20);

$html= curl_exec($ch);
$html1= curl_getinfo($ch);

To indent a XML in a pretty way I use:

<?
$sXML
= '<root><element><key>a</key><value>b</value></element></root>';
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->preserveWhiteSpace = false;
$doc->formatOutput   = true;
$doc->loadXML($sXML);
echo
$doc->saveXML();
?>

Showing a quick example of how to use this class, just so that new users can get a quick start without having to figure it all out by themself. ( At the day of posting, this documentation just got added and is lacking examples. )

<?php

// Set the content type to be XML, so that the browser will   recognise it as XML.
header( "content-type: application/xml; charset=ISO-8859-15" );

// "Create" the document.
$xml = new DOMDocument( "1.0", "ISO-8859-15" );

// Create some elements.
$xml_album = $xml->createElement( "Album" );
$xml_track = $xml->createElement( "Track", "The ninth symphony" );

// Set the attributes.
$xml_track->setAttribute( "length", "0:01:15" );
$xml_track->setAttribute( "bitrate", "64kb/s" );
$xml_track->setAttribute( "channels", "2" );

// Create another element, just to show you can add any (realistic to computer) number of sublevels.
$xml_note = $xml->createElement( "Note", "The last symphony composed by Ludwig van Beethoven." );

// Append the whole bunch.
$xml_track->appendChild( $xml_note );
$xml_album->appendChild( $xml_track );

// Repeat the above with some different values..
$xml_track = $xml->createElement( "Track", "Highway Blues" );

$xml_track->setAttribute( "length", "0:01:33" );
$xml_track->setAttribute( "bitrate", "64kb/s" );
$xml_track->setAttribute( "channels", "2" );
$xml_album->appendChild( $xml_track );

$xml->appendChild( $xml_album );

// Parse the XML.
print $xml->saveXML();

?>

Output:
<Album>
  <Track length="0:01:15" bitrate="64kb/s" channels="2">
    The ninth symphony
    <Note>
      The last symphony composed by Ludwig van Beethoven.
    </Note>
  </Track>
  <Track length="0:01:33" bitrate="64kb/s" channels="2">Highway Blues</Track>
</Album>

If you want your PHP->DOM code to run under the .xml extension, you should set your webserver up to run the .xml extension with PHP ( Refer to the installation/configuration configuration for PHP on how to do this ).

Note that this:
<?php
$xml
= new DOMDocument( "1.0", "ISO-8859-15" );
$xml_album = $xml->createElement( "Album" );
$xml_track = $xml->createElement( "Track" );
$xml_album->appendChild( $xml_track );
$xml->appendChild( $xml_album );
?>

is NOT the same as this:
<?php
// Will NOT work.
$xml = new DOMDocument( "1.0", "ISO-8859-15" );
$xml_album = new DOMElement( "Album" );
$xml_track = new DOMElement( "Track" );
$xml_album->appendChild( $xml_track );
$xml->appendChild( $xml_album );
?>

although this will work:
<?php
$xml
= new DOMDocument( "1.0", "ISO-8859-15" );
$xml_album = new DOMElement( "Album" );
$xml->appendChild( $xml_album );
?>
