This class is a abstraction class for the PHP Expat XML functions.

You can define handler functions/objects for start, end, PI and data sections (1.) or your can define path which will trigger the defined event when encountered (2.)

Example:

1.) $parser->setEvents(array("startElement"=> "myFunction", "endElement"=> "myFunction", "characterData"=> "myFunction", "processingInstruction" => "myFunction");

The value can also be an array with the object reference and the method to call. i.e. "startElement"=>array(&$myObj, "myMethod") instead of "startelement"=>"myFunction"

2.) $parser->setEvents(array("/root/foo/bar"=>"myFunction"));

Valid array keys are: 'startElement', 'endElement', 'characterData', 'processingInstruction' and paths folowing the scheme '/root/element'. The path MUST begin from the root element and MUST start with '/'.

The value can also be an array with the object reference and the method to call. i.e. "/foo/bar"=>array(&$myObj, "myMethod") instead of "/foo/bar"=>"myFunction"

It has 3 public methods:

setEventHandlers - Set specific handlers for the xml parser parseFile - Used to parse a XML file parse - Used to parse a XML string

A small example:

include ("class.xmlparser.php");

// The XML String $xml = ' some text another text ';

function myHandler($name, $attribs, $content) { echo "HIT: [ $name ] [ $content ]<br/>"; }

$parser = new XmlParser; // Parser instance $parser->setEventHandlers(array("/foo/bar"=>"myHandler")); // Define our handler $parser->parse($xml); // Parse the XML string
