Re: How to build a XML DTD on "the fly"?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



My real problem is that I am building a XML tree and I want to use the getElementbyId method on the tree directly.

It would be very nice if it is possible to do it without including a external dtd, since it takes some time to load every time.

The page http://blog.bitflux.ch/wiki/GetElementById_Pitfalls have some information about my issue, but I have not found the path to go yet.

I am using php5.05 on Win32.

There is no real standard for creating DTDs on the fly, and therefore libxml/DOM doesn't have any methods afaik.

The one method DOMElement::setIDAttribute() should work I think, but whilst PHP has the method, doesn’t seem todo anything. :/


DocumentType nodes are read-only in DOM thus cannot be built on the fly. Also notice that not all components, such as ATTLIST, even have a node type.

setIDAttribute - thats on the TODO list. Were some previous libxml issues to be resolved before that could be implemented (so it will be added, but require a minimum libxml2 version to work).
Can always use xml:id attributes for that purpose for now though.
