XML encode/decode class in PHP -

can suggest , stable class encode , decode xml in php?

edit

found example on php.net, can't make work.. no error msgs returned

$sxe = new simplexmlelement(); $sxe->addattribute('type', 'documentary');  $movie = $sxe->addchild('movie'); $movie->addchild('title', 'php2: more parser stories'); $movie->addchild('plot', 'this people make work.');  $characters = $movie->addchild('characters'); $character  = $characters->addchild('character'); $character->addchild('name', 'mr. parser'); $character->addchild('actor', 'john doe');  $rating = $movie->addchild('rating', '5'); $rating->addattribute('type', 'stars');  echo $sxe->asxml(); 

simplexml easiest. example:

<root>    <node>       <sub>text</sub>    </node> </root> 

 

$xml = new simplexmlelement('xml_file.xml', 0, true); echo $xml->node->sub; // displays "text" 

edit:

in response code isn't working, need include root node in initiation of class:

$sxe = new simplexmlelement('<root />');
