Question

I’m trying to complete an example from php.net (code below) which allows you to create a SDO data graph and save it to an XML string.

<?php
/**
 * Create an XML document from scratch
 */
try {
   $xmldas = SDO_DAS_XML::create("letter.xsd");
   try {
       $doc = $xmldas->createDocument();
       $rdo = $doc->getRootDataObject();
       $seq = $rdo->getSequence();
       $seq->insert("April 09, 2005", NULL, 'date');
       $seq->insert("Acme Inc. ", NULL, NULL);
       $seq->insert("United Kingdom. ");
       $seq->insert("Dear", NULL, NULL);
       $seq->insert("Tarun", NULL, "firstName");
       $seq->insert("Nayaraaa", NULL, "lastName");
       $rdo->lastName = "Nayar";
       $seq->insert("Please note that your order number ");
       $seq->insert(12345);
       $seq->insert(" has been dispatched today. Thanks for your business with us.");
       print($xmldas->saveString($doc));
   } catch (SDO_Exception $e) {
       print($e);
   }
} catch (SDO_Exception $e) {
   print("Problem creating an XML document: " . $e->getMessage());
}
?>

When I try to run the code I am getting the following error:

Fatal error: Class 'SDO_DAS_XML' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\test.php on line 6

You need to install the SDO package first.

see the SDO Installation Docs for details

Edit: for windows, you’ll either need to find an sdo.dll for your version of php if someone’s already compiled one or build it yourself.
