XXVIII. DOM Functions

Einführung

The DOM extension is the replacement for the DOM XML extension from PHP 4. The extension still contains many old functions, but they should no longer be used. In particular, functions that are not object-oriented should be avoided.

The extension allows you to operate on an XML document with the DOM API.

Installation

Für diese Funktionen ist keine Installation erforderlich, diese gehören zum Grundbestand von PHP.

Vordefinierte Klassen

The API of the module follows the DOM Level 2 standard as closely as possible. Consequently, the API is fully object-oriented. It is a good idea to have the DOM standard available when using this module.

This module defines a number of classes, which are explained in the following tables. Classes with an equivalent in the DOM standard are named DOMxxx.

DOMAttr

Extends DOMNode. The DOMAttr interface represents an attribute in an DOMElement object.

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

DOMDocumentType

Extends DOMNode

Each DOMDocument has a doctype attribute whose value is either NULL or a DOMDocumentType object.
