Question

I have a xml file and I want to get version and encoding number in PHP.

For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<from>John</from>

I want to get version and encoding information in PHP. (For this example 1.0 and ISO-8859-1)

How can I get it in PHP?

Answer 1

You can use DOMDocument to do this.

$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->load('file.xml');
// or you can load the XML string
//$doc->loadXML('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><from>John</from>');
$version = $doc->xmlVersion; // 1.0
$encoding = $doc->xmlEncoding; // ISO-8859-1
