A very useful undocumented feature if you are opening hundreds of xml docs (my script processes 20,000) is DomDocument->free.
This clears the allocated the memory used by the xml file which is not done automatically by just opening a new file on the same variable.

Example:

<?
$dir="/path/to/xml/files/";
if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
   while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
       if(is_file($dir.$file))
       {
           echo $file . "\\n";
           $dom=domxml_open_file($dir.$file);

           #...
           #You xml processor here
           #...
           $dom->free();
       }
   }
   closedir($dh);
}

?>

another way to resolve path's problem is to use  realpath() function
for example:

<?php
$file=$_REQUEST['file'];
$xmlPath = realpath("../xml/");
$fileXML ="$file";
  if(!$dom = domxml_open_file($xmlPath."/".$fileXML)) {
   echo "error opening the file";
   exit;
}
?>

N.B. you have to put the final slash ( / ) beetween path and file name!

For me, on Windows XP, the solution with  file_get_contents works, the one with domxml_open_file does not. It seems the latter caches the loaded file. Quite confusing.

If you want to work on both Windows and Linux, I found appending the following to the front of your file path works:

$xmlPath = dirname(__FILE__) . "/";
$xmlDOM = domxml_open_file($xmlPath . "file.xml");

(rather than the "\\" in a previous post on this page which only works on Windows).

This should get around the I/O errors.

You can load your own DTD's within your XML Doc like this:

<?php
$domxml = domxml_open_file('test.xml',DOMXML_LOAD_VALIDATING,$error);
?>

I hope this helps....

The DocumentType Definition (must/have) to be in the Doc root of your Server...

If you're working on a windows machine and don't want to use full paths , just use...

$showfile = file_get_contents($path . "/" . $fileName);

if(!$domDoc = domxml_open_mem($showfile)) {
   echo "Couldn't load xml...";   
   exit;
}

Because file_get_contents() can use relative paths on Win, it keeps your code more portable...

domxml documentation is a moving target, for 4.2.3 a working example is:

<?
$xmlpath = dirname(__FILE__) . "\\";
$xmldoc = domxml_open_file( $xmlpath . "test.xml");
$xsldoc = domxml_xslt_stylesheet_file ( $xmlpath . "test.xsl");
$result = $xsldoc->process($xmldoc);
print $result->dump_mem();
?>

RTFS is a working method in this case (lucky guesses work also from time tor time) :-)

Using PHP 4.2.3 and Win2K.

The XML file needs to be referenced using the full filesystem path name, even if its in the same directory.

Using PHP 4.1.2, Win2K, IIS.
I found that if the path to the XML source file is too long then the file isn't picked up. I haven't tested it to see how long the path can be or whether this is still an issue in PHP 4.2
