Below given programs illustrate the DOMElement::getElementsByTagNameNS() function in PHP:
Program 1:
<?php // Create a new DOMDocument $dom = new DOMDocument(); // Load the XML $dom->loadXML("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?> <root> <div xmlns:x=\"my_namespace\"> <x:h1 x:style=\"color:red;\"> Hello, this is my red heading. </x:h1> <x:h1 x:style=\"color:green;\"> Hello, this is my green heading. </x:h1> <x:h1 x:style=\"color:blue;\"> Hello, this is my blue heading. </x:h1> </div> <div xmlns:y=\"another_namespace\"> <y:h1 y:style=\"color:red;\"> Hello, this is my new red heading. </y:h1> <y:h1 y:style=\"color:green;\"> Hello, this is my new green heading. </y:h1> <y:h1 y:style=\"color:blue;\"> Hello, this is my new blue heading. </y:h1> </div> </root>"); // Get the elements with h1 tag from // specific namespace $nodeList = $dom->getElementsByTagNameNS( 'my_namespace', 'h1'); foreach ($nodeList as $node) { echo $node->getAttribute('x:style') . '<br>'; } ?> |
Output:
color:red;
color:green;
color:blue;
Program 2:
<?php // Create a new DOMDocument $dom = new DOMDocument(); // Load the XML $dom->loadXML("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?> <root> <div xmlns:x=\"my_namespace\"> <x:p>HELLO.</x:p> <x:p>NEW.</x:p> <x:p>WORLD.</x:p> </div> <div xmlns:y=\"g4g_namespace\"> <y:p>GEEKS</y:p> <y:p>FOR</y:p> <y:p>GEEKS</y:p> </div> </root>"); // Get the elements $nodeList = $dom->getElementsByTagNameNS( 'g4g_namespace', 'p'); foreach ($nodeList as $node) { echo $node->textContent . '<br>'; } ?> |
Output:
GEEKS
