PAXML: PHP Array [representation of] XML

This is a tiny library for emitting XML. Or XHTML., _(*2)

Its intended use is to replace HTML/PHP template code with something easier to read and write and manipulate., _(*3)

e.g. instead of, _(*4)

<p>Hi my name is <?php echo htmlspecialchars($name); ?></p>

you would construct a PAXML value like:, _(*5)

$value = ['p', 'Hi my name is ', $name];

and then output it using, _(*6)

EarthIT_PAXML::emit($value);

If you need a Nife_Blob, make one like so:, _(*7)

$blob = new EarthIT_PAXML_PAXMLBlob($value);

PAXML Values

Scalars represent text., _(*8)

Arrays represent elements., _(*9)

The 0th element of an array gives the tag name., _(*10)

Subsequent numerically-keyed elements of an array give sub-tags., _(*11)

String-keyed elements of an array give attribute values., _(*12)

Examples

['p', 'style'=>'color: green', 'I like ', ['span', 'style'=>'color: red', 'food'], '.']

Will be emitted as:, _(*13)

<p style="color: green">I like <span style="color: red">food</span>.</p>
