SimpleXMLElement::children
(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
SimpleXMLElement::children — 指定したノードの子ノードを見付ける
説明
public SimpleXMLElement::children(?string
$namespaceOrPrefix
= null
, bool $isPrefix
= false
): ?SimpleXMLElementこのメソッドは、指定した要素の子を見つけます。 結果は、通常の反復子により取得できます。
注意: SimpleXML では、ほとんどのメソッドに反復処理を追加するための手順が定義されています。 これらは、var_dump() やオブジェクトを評価する他の手段で 見ることはできません。
パラメータ
戻り値
ノードが子を持つかどうかにかかわらず
SimpleXMLElement 要素を返します。
ノードが属性である場合は、null
を返します。
例
例1 children()
疑似配列を走査する
<?php
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement(
'<person>
<child role="son">
<child role="daughter"/>
</child>
<child role="daughter">
<child role="son">
<child role="son"/>
</child>
</child>
</person>');
foreach ($xml->children() as $second_gen) {
echo ' The person begot a ' . $second_gen['role'];
foreach ($second_gen->children() as $third_gen) {
echo ' who begot a ' . $third_gen['role'] . ';';
foreach ($third_gen->children() as $fourth_gen) {
echo ' and that ' . $third_gen['role'] .
' begot a ' . $fourth_gen['role'];
}
}
}
?>
上の例の出力は以下となります。
The person begot a son who begot a daughter; The person begot a daughter who begot a son; and that son begot a son
例2 名前空間の使用
<?php
$xml = '<example xmlns:foo="my.foo.urn">
<foo:a>Apple</foo:a>
<foo:b>Banana</foo:b>
<c>Cherry</c>
</example>';
$sxe = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);
$kids = $sxe->children('foo');
var_dump(count($kids));
$kids = $sxe->children('foo', TRUE);
var_dump(count($kids));
$kids = $sxe->children('my.foo.urn');
var_dump(count($kids));
$kids = $sxe->children('my.foo.urn', TRUE);
var_dump(count($kids));
$kids = $sxe->children();
var_dump(count($kids));
?>

Here's a simple, recursive, function to transform XML data into pseudo E4X syntax ie. root.child.value = foobar
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement(
'<Patriarch>
<name>Bill</name>
<wife>
<name>Vi</name>
</wife>
<son>
<name>Bill</name>
</son>
<daughter>
<name>Jeri</name>
<husband>
<name>Mark</name>
</husband>
<son>
<name>Greg</name>
</son>
<son>
<name>Tim</name>
</son>
<son>
<name>Mark</name>
</son>
<son>
<name>Josh</name>
<wife>
<name>Kristine</name>
</wife>
<son>
<name>Blake</name>
</son>
<daughter>
<name>Liah</name>
</daughter>
</son>
</daughter>
</Patriarch>');
RecurseXML($xml);
function RecurseXML($xml,$parent="")
{
$child_count = 0;
foreach($xml as $key=>$value)
{
$child_count++;
if(RecurseXML($value,$parent.".".$key) == 0) // no childern, aka "leaf node"
{
print($parent . "." . (string)$key . " = " . (string)$value . "<BR>\n");
}
}
return $child_count;
}
?>
The output....
.name = Bill
.wife.name = Vi
.son.name = Bill
.daughter.name = Jeri
.daughter.husband.name = Mark
.daughter.son.name = Greg
.daughter.son.name = Tim
.daughter.son.name = Mark
.daughter.son.name = Josh
.daughter.son.wife.name = Kristine
.daughter.son.son.name = Blake
.daughter.son.daughter.name = Liah

Just a quick addition:
If you need to access a child node which contains a dash, you need to encapsulate it with {""}.
For example:
<?php
foreach ($domain->domain-listing as $product) {
}
?>
The example above doesn't work because of the dash. But instead you need to use:
<?php
foreach ($domain->{"domain-listing"} as $product) {
}
?>
At least for me the second example works perfectly fine.

I made a slightly differnt approch towards the RecurseXML function. Beeing hungry I had problems with the code, as it did just overwrite two <maincourse>s. So here is what I did:
<?php
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement(
'<meal>
<type>Lunch</type>
<time>12:30</time>
<menu>
<entree>salad</entree>
<maincourse>
<part>ships</part>
<part>steak</part>
</maincourse>
<maincourse>
<part>fisch</part>
<part>rice</part>
</maincourse>
<maincourse>
<part>wine</part>
<part>cheese</part>
</maincourse>
</menu>
</meal>');
$vals = array();
RecurseXML($xml,$vals);
foreach($vals as $key=>$value)
print("{$key} = {$value}<BR>\n");
function RecurseXML($xml,&$vals,$parent="") {
$childs=0;
$child_count=-1; # Not realy needed.
$arr=array();
foreach ($xml->children() as $key=>$value) {
if (in_array($key,$arr)) {
$child_count++;
} else {
$child_count=0;
}
$arr[]=$key;
$k=($parent == "") ? "$key.$child_count" : "$parent.$key.$child_count";
$childs=RecurseXML($value,$vals,$k);
if ($childs==0) {
$vals[$k]= (string)$value;
}
}
return $childs;
}
?>
Output is like this:
type.0 = Lunch
time.0 = 12:30
menu.0.entree.0 = salad
menu.0.maincourse.0.part.0 = ships
menu.0.maincourse.0.part.1 = steak
menu.0.maincourse.0 =
menu.0.maincourse.1.part.0 = fisch
menu.0.maincourse.1.part.1 = rice
menu.0.maincourse.1 =
menu.0.maincourse.2.part.0 = wine
menu.0.maincourse.2.part.1 = cheese
menu.0.maincourse.2 =
menu.0 =
(Not beautiful, but it solved my case...)

SimpleXMLElement::children can return null in this case:
<?php
$xml = '
<root attr="Hello"/>
';
$sxe = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);
$sxe_xpath = $sxe->xpath('/root/@attr')[0];
$children = $sxe_xpath->children();
var_export($children); // Is null
?>
