DOMDocument::load — Load XML from a file
public DOMDocument::load ( string $filename [, int $options = 0 ] ) : mixed
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.
filename
The path to the XML document.
options
Bitwise OR of the libxml option constants.
Returns true on success or false on failure. If called statically, returns a DOMDocument or false on failure.
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.
Example #1 Creating a Document
<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->load('book.xml');
echo $doc->saveXML();
?>
