convert xml to html using php

Question

I want to convert xml data into html. Below is sample xml data and I want to get/convert it in html format.

<content type="html">
  <paragraph id="1291266887">
      <div class="red">
        <span id="main_post_id">
          <p>ten post przedstawia jak wys&#x142;a&#x107;  znacznik&#xF3;w w ust <strong>Ling</strong> -  xyz</p>
          <p>tags znane jako <span class="translation_section  section_2">bezpieczne</span>, b&#x119;d&#x105;  traktowane jako sekcje pkt</p>
          <p>innych materia&#x142;&#xF3;w dziel&#x105;  si&#x119; na <em>literach</em></p>
        </span>
      </div>
  </paragraph>
</content>

i.e. I want to get all the html code contained between <paragraph id="..."></paragraph>. I want to do it using php. When I convert it in array using php, it gives all data in array of div, p, span. But I want whole html contained in <paragraph>..</paragraph> tag in a single array.

Please help needed here. Let me know best ways for this.

Thanks.

It's easy to use xslt in PHP. If you got the xml in file "data.xml" and the xslt-script in "script.xsl" this is all to do:

<?php  
$proc=new XsltProcessor;  
$proc->importStylesheet(DOMDocument::load("data.xsl"));  
echo $proc->transformToXML(DOMDocument::load("script.xml"));  
?>

A simple xslt-script could look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">  
 <xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>  
  <xsl:template match="/">  
   <html>  
    <head>  
    </head>  
    <body>  
     <xsl:copy-of select="//paragraph"/>  
    </body>  
   </html>  
  </xsl:template>  
</xsl:stylesheet>

Write a XSLT stylesheet to convert it, and the xslt extension to apply it to the XML.

Then you can't process it as XML, since processing it as XML will cause that.

I have just posted some part of xml data, not whole xml here. I am have converted it to array but not getting data contained in <paragraph>..</paragraph> in a single array or array key.

After running the following code in the browser save page , so the file is created in two stages

<?php
$xml=simplexml_load_file("My_Xml.xml");
print_r($xml);
?>
