When inserting XML DOM Elements inside existing XML DOM Elements that I loaded from an XML file using the following code, none of my new elements were formatted correctly, they just showed up on one line:
<?php
$dom = DOMDocument::load('file.xml');
$dom->formatOutput = true;
//$dom->add some new elements with child nodes somewhere inside the loaded XML using insertBefore();
$dom->saveXML();
//output: everything looks normal but the new nodes are all on one line.
?>
I found I could pass LIBXML_NOBLANKS to the load method and it would reformat the whole document, including my added stuff:
<?php
$dom = DOMDocument::load('file.xml', LIBXML_NOBLANKS);
$dom->formatOutput = true;
//$dom->add some new elements with child nodes somewhere inside the loaded XML using insertBefore();
$dom->saveXML();
//output: everything looks newly formatted, including new nodes
?>
Hope this helps, took me hours of trial and error to figure this out!
The name of the constant LIBXML_NOENT is very misleading. Adding this flag actually causes the parser to load and insert the external entities. Omitting it leaves the tags untouched, which is probably what you want.
LIBXML_DOTTED_VERSION option doesn't work.
libxml version: 2.9.4
<?php
echo LIBXML_DOTTED_VERSION;
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<fasa_request id="1234567"/>', LIBXML_NOXMLDECL);
?>
If you want to save without the XML declaration, and LIBXML_NOXMLDECL doesn't work for you, you can just do this:
<?php
$doc = new \DOMDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
$doc->loadXML($xml, LIBXML_*);
echo $doc->saveXML($doc->firstElementChild);
?>
This will output the XML without the XML declaration and without using the flag.
You also don't need to do fiddly replacements and pray that it works.
Note: The LIBXML_NOXMLDECL constant is defined in this library but is not supported by DOMDocument (yet).
