simplexml_load_string
Interprets a string of XML into an object
Descriptionobjectsimplexml_load_stringstringdatastringclass_nameintoptions
This function will take the well-formed xml string
data and return an object of class
SimpleXMLElement with properties containing the data held
within the xml document. If any errors occur, it returns &false;.
You may use the optional class_name parameter so
that simplexml_load_string 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.
