simplexml_load_file
Interprets an XML file into an object
Descriptionobjectsimplexml_load_filestringfilenamestringclass_nameintoptions
This function will convert the well-formed XML document in the file
specified by filename to an object
of class SimpleXMLElement. If any errors occur during file
access or interpretation, the function returns &false;.
You may use the optional class_name parameter so
that simplexml_load_file will return an object of
the specified class. That class should extend the
SimpleXMLElement class.
Since PHP 5.1.0 and Libxml 2.6.0, you may also use the
options parameter to specify additional Libxml parameters.
Libxml 2 unescapes the URI, so if you want to pass e.g.
b&c as the URI parameter a,
you have to call
simplexml_load_file(rawurlencode('http://example.com/?a=' .
urlencode('b&c'))). Since PHP 5.1.0 you don't need to do
this because PHP will do it for you.
