A PHP command line script for exploring XML structures
======================================================
by Tim Strehle http://www.strehle.de/tim/
Read and parse multiple XML files and display a report summarizing their structure.
Use this when you're being provided with a bunch of sample XML files and don't know
what they actually contain.
Requires PHP 5 with the DOM extension, which is enabled by default.
Licensed under the PHP License. Use at your own risk!
Usage:
======
php digicol_xml_explorer.php [ OPTIONS ] <file> [<file> ...]
Use -h / --help to list available options.
Example invocation:
===================
tims-mac:xml_explorer tim$ find 'European News Service' -name '*.xml' \
| php digicol_xml_explorer.php - --xmlns 'atom=http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom' \
-s '/atom:entry/atom:link/apcm:Characteristics/@MediaType' \
