DOM Functions

Introducción

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.

Instalación

No se necesita ninguna instalación para usar estas funciones, son parte del núcleo de PHP.

Clases predefinidas

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

Propiedades

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.

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.
