Comment écrire des CDATA en utilisant SimpleXmlElement?

voici ma version de cette classe qui a un addChildWithCDATA méthode rapide, basée sur votre réponse :

    Class SimpleXMLElementExtended extends SimpleXMLElement {

  /**
   * Adds a child with $value inside CDATA
   * @param unknown $name
   * @param unknown $value
   */
  public function addChildWithCDATA($name, $value = NULL) {
    $new_child = $this->addChild($name);

    if ($new_child !== NULL) {
      $node = dom_import_simplexml($new_child);
      $no   = $node->ownerDocument;
      $node->appendChild($no->createCDATASection($value));
    }

    return $new_child;
  }
}

utilisez-le simplement comme ça:

$node = new SimpleXMLElementExtended();
$node->addChildWithCDATA('title', 'Text that can contain any unsafe XML charachters like & and <>');

vous pouvez aussi créer une fonction helper pour cela, si vous préférez ne pas étendre SimpleXMLElement:

 /**
  * Adds a CDATA property to an XML document.
  *
  * @param string $name
  *   Name of property that should contain CDATA.
  * @param string $value
  *   Value that should be inserted into a CDATA child.
  * @param object $parent
  *   Element that the CDATA child should be attached too.
  */
 $add_cdata = function($name, $value, &$parent) {
   $child = $parent->addChild($name);

   if ($child !== NULL) {
     $child_node = dom_import_simplexml($child);
     $child_owner = $child_node->ownerDocument;
     $child_node->appendChild($child_owner->createCDATASection($value));
   }

   return $child;
 };

    class MySimpleXMLElement extends SimpleXMLElement{

        public function addChildWithCData($name , $value) {
            $new = parent::addChild($name);
            $base = dom_import_simplexml($new);
            $docOwner = $base->ownerDocument;
            $base->appendChild($docOwner->createCDATASection($value));
        }

    }

        $simpleXmlElemntObj = new MySimpleXMLElement('<site/>');

        /* USAGE */

        /* Standard */
        $simpleXmlElemntObj->addChild('Postcode','1111');

       /* With CDATA */
       $simpleXmlElemntObj->addChildWithCData('State','Processing');


    /* RESULT */
    /*
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <site>
        <Postcode>1111</Postcode>
        <State><![CDATA[Processing]]></State>
    </site>
   */

voici ma solution combinée avec l'ajout de child avec CDATA ou L'ajout de CDATA au noeud.

class SimpleXMLElementExtended extends SimpleXMLElement
{
    /**
    * Add value as CData to a given XML node
    *
    * @param SimpleXMLElement $node SimpleXMLElement object representing the child XML node
    * @param string $value A text to add as CData
    * @return void
    */
    private function addCDataToNode(SimpleXMLElement $node, $value = '')
    {
        if ($domElement = dom_import_simplexml($node))
        {
            $domOwner = $domElement->ownerDocument;
            $domElement->appendChild($domOwner->createCDATASection("{$value}"));
        }
    }

    /**
    * Add child node with value as CData
    *
    * @param string $name The child XML node name to add
    * @param string $value A text to add as CData
    * @return SimpleXMLElement
    */
    public function addChildWithCData($name = '', $value = '')
    {
        $newChild = parent::addChild($name);
        if ($value) $this->addCDataToNode($newChild, "{$value}");
        return $newChild;
    }

    /**
    * Add value as CData to the current XML node 
    *
    * @param string $value A text to add as CData
    * @return void
    */
    public function addCData($value = '')
    {
        $this->addCDataToNode($this, "{$value}");
    }
}

// Usage example:

$xml_doc = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<offers xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1">
</offers>';

$xml = new SimpleXMLElementExtended($xml_doc);

$offer = $xml->addChild('o');
$offer->addAttribute('id', $product->product_id);
$offer->addAttribute('url', 'some url');

$cat = $offer->addChildWithCData('cat', 'Category description as CDATA');

// or

$cat = $offer->addChild('cat');
$cat->addCData('Category description as CDATA');
