$data
[, int $options = 0
[, bool $data_is_url = false
[, string $ns = ""
[, bool $is_prefix = false
]]]] )Creates a new SimpleXMLElement object.
data
A well-formed XML string or the path or URL to an XML document if
data_is_url is TRUE.
options
Optionally used to specify additional Libxml parameters.
data_is_url
By default, data_is_url is FALSE. Use TRUE to
specify that data is a path or URL to an XML
document instead of string data.
ns
Namespace prefix or URI.
is_prefix
TRUE if ns is a prefix, FALSE if it's a URI;
defaults to FALSE.
Returns a SimpleXMLElement object representing
data.
Produces an E_WARNING error message for each error
found in the XML data and additionally throws an Exception if the XML data
could not be parsed.
Use libxml_use_internal_errors() to suppress all XML errors, and libxml_get_errors() to iterate over them afterwards.
Note:
Listed examples may include example.php, which refers to the XML string found in the first example of the basic usage guide.
