Example
Example – Example for the usage of XML_Beautifier
Basic example
Let's assume, you've got an XML document that is really badly formatted:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE page [
<!ENTITY foo SYSTEM "foo.xml">
<!ENTITY bar SYSTEM "bar.xml">
]>
<document title="Current News">
<meta project="none" foo="bar">
<keywords/><description/>
<author>Stephan Schmidt</author>
<getMetaNav/>
</meta>
<page label="PHP Application Tools" sublabel="Current News">
<?php
for($i = 0; $i < count($_GET); $i++) {
echo $_GET[$i]."<br>";
}
?>
&foo;&bar;

If you're new to pat, and would like
<!-- This is a comment in a single line that contains an & -->
to know
what we do
here, take a look at
<link url=
"/about/project.xml">
"About Pat"</link>
or
check out the
<link url="/about/projectsOverview.xml">"projects overview"</link>. Otherwise, you probably know your way
around
the site already <smiley type="smile"/>

</intro>
</page>
</document>
All you have to do is to use XML_Beautifier, pass the filename of the original file and the filename for the new file:
<?php
require_once "XML/Beautifier.php";
$fmt = new XML_Beautifier();
$result = $fmt->formatFile('originalFile.xml', 'beautifiedFile.xml');
if (PEAR::isError($result)) {
echo $result->getMessage();
exit();
}
echo "File beautified, awaiting orders!<br />";
?>
And voila, your document looks nice:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE page [
<!ENTITY foo SYSTEM "foo.xml">
<!ENTITY bar SYSTEM "bar.xml">
]>
<document title="Current News">
<meta foo="bar" project="none">
<keywords />
<description />
<author>Stephan Schmidt</author>
<getMetaNav />
</meta>
<page label="PHP Application Tools" sublabel="Current News">
<?php
for($i = 0; $i < count($_GET); $i++) {
echo $_GET[$i]."<br>";
}
?>
&foo;
&bar;
