Loading invalid XML in PHP

Question

I have an XML document that I need to upload using PHP. I am currently using the simplexml_load_file () function, however the xml file is incorrect, and therefore I am getting a parsing error.

The XML file looks something like this:

...
</result>something1>
</else>
</else>
</resu
...

As you can see, this XML is hacked and this function throws an error trying to parse it. Also I do not need this data that is damaged. I just wanted to read everything I can and throw away the rest.

Answer 1

As Jon Bron suggested, try DOMDocument :: loadHTML ():

$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->strictErrorChecking = false;
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);

$dom->loadHTML($xml);

Answer 2

strictErrorChecking , . , , . , libxml_use_internal_errors (true). , DOMDocument simplexml. :

<?php

$string = <<<XML

</else>

XML;

$dom = new DOMDocument();
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
