Xml + Dom + Dtd

[kamogawa]

Hi buddies,

I´m trying to validate a xml file with a dtd. Inside the xml file I have: <!DOCTYPE note SYSTEM "file_name.dtd">. So, I open the xml files with the following args:

$dom = xmldocfile($file,DOMXML_LOAD_VALIDATING,$error);

And it returns: Warning: xmldocfile() expects exactly 1 parameter, 3 given in /home/httpd/htdocs/xml/teste.php on line 7

Does anyone have some idea of how can I validate a xml file with dtd in php?

Thanks by now,

I don't have a clue how to use XML with PHP but just reading that error it sounds like you could get rid of 2 of those parameters and just use

$dom = xmldocfile($file);

Sure,l without other 2 args it works normally.... the problem is that it doesn´t parse the dtd file to validate the xml....

I see. Your using a dtd in the xml document, which works fine by itself but when you import in php (or whatever the xmldocfile function does) it doesnt catch the dtd.

Good luck 🙂 I'm just starting to learn the whole xml, xsl, dtd thing.

Infact, maybe you can tell me this...
YaBB forums allow you to 'syndicate' their news using http://www.yabb.info/yabbinfo.xml

But they don't give you any instructions on how to use it. I know how to use XSLT to transform the xml document into a regular html page, which is what i want to do, but you have to use <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="style.xsl"?> INSIDE the xml document.

Well if that XML document is on someone elses server, how the hell do you use it? I guess I could download it with a php script, but is that really what they expect you to do?
