如何使用PHP（DOM）将嵌套标记作为字符串而不是实际的嵌套标记？

Question

Consider the xml

<data>
 <node1>
        some text some text <nested-node>nest node content</nested-node> some text
 </node1>
</data>

Want to access <node1> tag (that i can do), But i want to get content as follow...

some text some text <nested-node>nest node content </nested-node> 
some text

Please help me how can I achieve this???

Answer 1

The problem is that your XML on top is not well formed.

You cannot use tags in a text sequence. The parser remove such elements.

XML Escaping

List of escape characters

With this:

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement(file_get_contents('xmltest.xml'));
var_dump($xml->node1);

you can read the node.
