Download Chilkat XML ActiveX

<?php

$xml = new COM("Chilkat.Xml");

//  The sample input XML is available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/car.xml
$success = $xml->LoadXmlFile('car.xml');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $xml->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

//  Navigate to the "car" node, which is the 1st child:
// carNode is a Chilkat.Xml
$carNode = $xml->FirstChild();

//  Get the value of the "model" attribute:
print 'model = ' . $carNode->getAttrValue('model') . "\n";

//  Get the value of the "hp" attribute as an integer:
$horsepower = $carNode->GetAttrValueInt('hp');
print 'horsepower = ' . $horsepower . "\n";

//  Iterate over the attributes and show the name/value of each:
$numAttr = $carNode->NumAttributes;

$i = 0;
while ($i < $numAttr) {
    print $carNode->getAttributeName($i) . ': '
         . $carNode->getAttributeValue($i) . "\n";
    $i = $i + 1;
}
