Download the PHP package louis-dj/xml-template without Composer

Xml Templating for php

Generate dynamic xml strings using templated xml files.

Motivation

Avoid building dynamic xml strings with messy string concatenations in your code.
Avoid adding static boilerplate elements when using a useful package like ArrayToXml.

Usage

Install the package with composer:

Create an xml file with templating directives

Import the package and convert with the replaceWith method

Absolute filepaths AND relative filepaths(relative to cwd) are supported

Features

• Minified: The replaceWith method has an optional boolean parameter minified to remove all newline characters from the xml
• Object & Array compatibility: The associative array passed to the replaceWith method can contain string keys OR objects with field names corresponding to the variables OR both
• See the syntax below for full feature set

Syntax & Rules

• All directives must be enclosed in {{}} and contain a space on the inside of both pairs
• Variable names use a global scope, even variables defined in foreach directives
• All directives can be freely nested as long as it is property closed with an end directive
• if, else, foreach and end directives must be on their own line, but may be indented.
