WeberDev.com -> PHP Manual -> Load XML from a file

Description

mixed DOMDocument::load ( string $filename [, int $options ] )

Loads an XML document from a file.

Warning

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 but also causes an E_STRICT warning.

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.
