Answer 2

+2 A:

$dom->loadXML($xml); doesn't return an object when called in an object context (i.e. $obj->loadxml()) but modifies the internal state of the object itself.

e.g.

$doc = new DOMDocument();      
$doc->loadXML($xml) or die('loadxml failed');
$output= $doc->saveXML(); 
echo phpversion(), "\n";
echo '|savexml|=', strlen($output), "\n";
echo '|children| = ', $doc->documentElement->childNodes->length, "\n";

prints (on my machine)

5.3.1
|savexml|=5840
|children| = 33

thanks, if this is the solutionIs it not possible then to echo the output again and see the rss feed page. All I get is an error with the top level el missing?

Richard 2010-01-17 17:51:31

actually, I can see the same output as you. IE was caching, so I opend another browser window. Thanks for helping me out. I only have this question left. If I run it threw the domDocument without making alterations. Can I get the same xml back, because if I set a header to xml. The output will cause errors?

Richard 2010-01-17 18:07:58

I can see the output with the header set to text/plainI consider this question closed. Thanks VolkerK. Time for me to struggle a bit further.

Answer 3

+1 A:

Why not just use file_put_contents ? like this

file_put_contents("myxml.xml",$xml);
