How to Display XML File using PHP

Getting Started

In the previous tutorial, we have discussed on How to create XML file from MySQL Database using PHP. As a continuation, this tutorial will discuss on how to display XML files.

I've used bootstrap to improve the design of presentation of this tutorial. This bootstrap is included in the downloadable of this tutorial but, if you want, you may download bootstrap using this link.

Creating our Script

I have included a sample .xml file in the downloadable of this tutorial which I'm going to use to display in the tables of this tutorial.

Create a new file named index.php and paste the codes below.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Display XML File using PHP</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<h1 class="page-header text-center">Display XML File using PHP</h1>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-8 col-sm-offset-2">
<table class="table table-bordered table-striped">
<thead>
<th>UserID</th>
<th>Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
<th>Address</th>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php
//load xml file
$file

=

simplexml_load_file

(

'files/members.xml'

)

;
foreach

(

$file

->

user

as

$row

)

{
?>
<tr>
<td><?php

echo

$row

->

id

;

?>

</td>
<td><?php

echo

$row

->

firstname

;

?>

</td>
<td><?php

echo

$row

->

lastname

;

?>

</td>
<td><?php

echo

$row

->

address

;

?>

</td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

That ends this tutorial. Happy Coding :)
