DOMDocument::load
(PHP 5, PHP 7)
DOMDocument::load — Load XML from a file
Description
Loads an XML document from a file.
Unix style paths with forward slashes can cause significant performance degradation on Windows systems; be sure to call realpath() in such a case.
Parameters
-
filename
-
The path to the XML document.
-
options
-
Bitwise OR of the libxml option constants.
Return Values
Returns TRUE
on success or FALSE
on failure. If called statically, returns a
DOMDocument or FALSE
on failure.
Errors/Exceptions
If an empty string is passed as the filename
or an empty file is named, a warning will be generated. This warning
is not generated by libxml and cannot be handled using libxml's error
handling functions.
This method may be called statically, but will issue an E_STRICT
error.
