DOM Functions

Introductie

The DOM extension allows you to operate on XML documents through the DOM API with PHP 5.

For PHP 4, use DOM XML.

Note: 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.

Installatie

Er zijn geen handelingen nodig m.b.t. tot installatie voor deze functies, deze maken deel uit van de kern van PHP.

Voorgedefinieerde klassen

The API of the module follows the » DOM Level 3 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.

Constructor

Methods

Properties

Name Type Read-only Description
name string yes The name of the attribute
ownerElement DOMElement yes The element which contains the attribute
schemaTypeInfo bool yes Not implemented yet, always return NULL
specified bool yes Not implemented yet, always return NULL
value string no The value of the attribute

DOMCharacterData

Extends DOMNode.

Methods

Properties

Name Type Read-only Description
data string no The contents of the node
length int yes The length of the contents

DOMComment

Extends DOMCharacterData.

Constructor

DOMDocument

Extends DOMNode.

Constructor

Methods

Properties

Name Type Read-only Description
actualEncoding string yes  
config DOMConfiguration yes  
doctype DOMDocumentType yes The Document Type Declaration associated with this document.
documentElement DOMElement yes This is a convenience attribute that allows direct access to the child node that is the document element of the document.
documentURI string no The location of the document or NULL if undefined.
encoding string no  
formatOutput bool no  
implementation DOMImplementation yes The DOMImplementation object that handles this document.
preserveWhiteSpace bool no Do not remove redundant white space. Default to TRUE.

xmlEncoding string yes 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 bool no An attribute specifying, as part of the XML declaration, whether this document is standalone. This is FALSE when unspecified.
