[PHP] Re: SimpleXML: DOM, SAX or Other?
Phpdiscuss - Php Newsgroups And Mailing Lists wrote: Hi, Does anybody have any depthful knowledge of the SimpleXML extension in PHP5?.. More accurately, do you know if the simpleXml-xpath() method uses DOM, SAX or some other method of parsing a loaded XML document? I ask because I am trying to parse arbitrary XML documents as efficiently as possible (avoiding DOM). Kieran Hi, I've recently done a fair bit of work trying to make sense (for me) of the various PHP 5 XML-related alternatives. The bottom line (for me) is that at the end of the day the DOM functions provide the most access and flexibility, although at the cost of slightly more design complexity. If I have to generate a new XML file, DOM (for me) is the way to go. The XML Parser found its home (for me) processing include files. The output of this process is a single XML file that I can feed into downstream processes. The SimpleXML routines found its home (for me) working with static XML files. I haven't figured out how to add elements to a SimpleXML object, so it tends to be limited to read-only applications. The SimpleXMLIterator found a home (for me) in creating ID's and node genelogical ID's. Oddly, the SimpleXMLIterator skips the root level xml element and I had to use DOM to add it back. I ended up creating wrappers and proxy classes for each of the above. This allowed me to gain some uniformity in my API's so tend to forget about what's happening underneath. I also ended up creating a DomXPathQueryManager class to hide some of the complexity in setting up and executing XPath queries. So, at the end of the day, I might use any or all in some combination, but know that the DOM functions are my backup that can do it all. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Further to my confusion, the PHP docs speak to using tidy 2.0 with PHP5, but can not locate any other refs to tidy 2.x) I've never have used the rpm for tidy, but in general it should in theory install libtidy in either /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib so you'll need to configure php like: ./configure --with-tidy=/usr or ./configure --with-tidy=/usr/local If that doesn't work, then the rpm may not have installed the libtidy. As for the tidy 2.x reference, that is referencing php's interface to tidy: tidy 1.0: for php4.x tidy 2.0: for php5.x Both tidy's use the same libtidy, it is just that 2.0 includes the new OO interface that PHP5 provides. Curt Curt, Thanks for the reply. The rpm I found only contains tidy src files. I seem to have the chicken and egg problem. How do I make a libtidy that PHP will be satisfied with? I would prefer to use the PHP5 OO interface. Following is the command sequence showing my dilema...

[PHP] PHP Compiler?
Sorry if this is an old question: Where can I find information on any plans to create a compiler for PHP, especially v5.x? Barring that, is there a PHP syntax checker that would enforce some of the types of things that a compiler would find? I remember from back in my MS-DOS days the very good Clipper compiler for the dBase III language. dBase III, not unlike PHP, was an interpretive language, and along the way some bright folks figured out how to write a true dBase language compiler, which then allowed for all sorts of nice things to happen. One of the nicest things for me was that the compiler caught all sorts of little things before the same code in the interpreter would find them at run-time. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
