Here’s a simple XML parser, with DOM Object, which can fetch values digging deep but in a few lines of code.
It uses namespace functinality(XPATH). The XML document must have defined namespaces.
<?php
$xml = <<<EOT
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<entry xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom” xmlns:other=”http://other.w3.org/other” >
<id>uYG7-sPwjFg</id>
<published>2009-05-17T18:29:31.000Z</published>
</entry>
EOT;
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->loadXML($xml);
$xpath = DOMXPath($doc);
$xpath->registerNamespace(‘atom’, “http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom”);
$xpath_str = ‘//atom:entry/atom:published/text()’;
$entries = $xpath->evaluate($xpath_str);
print $entries->item(0)->nodeValue .”\n”;
?>
