How to get element count in multiple xml files in a folder using php?

You can achieve this by using the PHP DOM extension to parse the XML files and count the number of elements in each file. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this:

1. Define the directory path where your XML files are located:

1

$directory = 'path/to/xml/files';

1. Create an empty array to store the counts of elements in each XML file:

1

$elementCounts = [];

1. Use the glob() function to get an array of all XML files in the directory:

1

$xmlFiles = glob($directory . '/*.xml');

1. Loop through each XML file, parse it using the DOMDocument class, and count the number of elements in it:

1
2
3
4
5
6

foreach ($xmlFiles as $xmlFile) {
    $doc = new DOMDocument();
    $doc->load($xmlFile);
    
    // Count the number of elements in the XML file
    $elementCounts[$xmlFile] = $doc->getElementsByTagName('*')->length;
}

1. Finally, you can print out the counts of elements in each XML file:

1
2
3
4

foreach ($elementCounts as $file => $count) {
    echo "File: $file, Element Count: $count
";
}

By following the above steps, you can get the element count in multiple XML files in a folder using PHP.
