SimpleXMLElement::__construct — Creates a new SimpleXMLElement object
Creates a new SimpleXMLElement object.
A well-formed XML string or the path or URL to an XML document if data_is_url is TRUE.
Optionally used to specify additional Libxml parameters.
By default, data_is_url is FALSE. Use TRUE to specify that data is a path or URL to an XML document instead of string data.
Returns a SimpleXMLElement object representing data.
Produces an E_WARNING error message for each error found in the XML data and throws an exception if errors were detected.
Use libxml_use_internal_errors() to suppress all XML errors, and libxml_get_errors() to iterate over them afterwards.
Example #1 Create a SimpleXMLElement object
<?php
include 'example.php';
$sxe = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);
echo $sxe->movie[0]->title;
?>
