Read Sample Chapter 8 XML-Enabled Applications from PHP Oracle Web Development

XML-Enabled Applications

Both PHP and Oracle provide comprehensive support for XML and XML-related technologies. Practically, this means you can perform any XML processing either with PHP or inside an Oracle database. While PHP allows you to construct and transform XML by using either PHP's XML extensions or PEAR XML packages, Oracle provides the Oracle XML DB, which has a wide set of XML features that can be used to efficiently store, retrieve, update, as well as transform XML data and generate it from relational data

This chapter explains how to effectively use XML techniques and technologies available in PHP and Oracle when building XML-enabled PHP/Oracle applications. Specifically, you will see how to:

• Construct XML with the PHP DOM extension
• Navigate XML with XPath
• Transform XML with PHP XSL functions
• Generate XML from relational data with Oracle SQL/XML functions
• Store, retrieve, update, and transform XML with Oracle XML DB
• Validate XML documents against XML schemas
• Access XML stored in Oracle XML DB with standard internet protocols
• Query, construct, and transform XML with Oracle XQuery
