Many new PHP developer looking for how to easily read the xml file. In this tutorial I will show you how to read the xml file using PHP language.

This is my xml file format and file name is readxml.xml file

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!-- our XML-document describes a purchase order -->
<purchase-order>

 <date>2005-10-31</date>
 <number>12345</number>

 <purchased-by>
 <name>My name</name>
 <address>My address</address>
 </purchased-by>

 <!-- a collection element, contains a set of items -->
 <order-items>

 <item>
 <code>687</code>
 <type>CD</type>
 <label>Some music</label>
 </item>

 <item>
 <code>129851</code>
 <type>DVD</type>
 <label>Some video</label>
 </item>

 </order-items>

</purchase-order>

This is one php file called test.php and code as follows

<?php
 //create new document object
 $dom_object = new DOMDocument();
 //load xml file
 $dom_object->load("test.xml");

 $item = $dom_object->getElementsByTagName("item");

 foreach( $item as $value )
 {
 $codes = $value->getElementsByTagName("code");
 $code  = $codes->item(0)->nodeValue;

 $types = $value->getElementsByTagName("type");
 $type  = $types->item(0)->nodeValue;

 $labels = $value->getElementsByTagName("label");
 $label  = $labels->item(0)->nodeValue;

 echo "$code - $type - $label <br>";
 }
?>

When you run the readxml.php file. you will see the following output.

687 – CD – Some music
129851 – DVD – Some video
