About:
XML parser class is a PHP class that parses arbitrary XML input and builds an array with
the structure of all tag
and data elements. Optionally it can keep track of the positions of each element to locate
elements that may be contextually in error.
Supports a parsed file cache to minimize the overhead of parsing the same file repeatedly.
Optimized parsing of simplified XML (SML) formats ignoring the tag attributes.

Good work!

Your XML-parser is really good work.
Thank you for providing it free and so helping to level up the quality of
the internet.
It's just what I was looking for to develop a SOAP-client.
You should mention that application on the phpclasses.org page, too.
Thank you very much. :) And keep on.

A pity

What a pity the author has chosen to require you to give away personal
details in order to download the software.

I am the author of these and other classes and the whole site. I
don´t know why do you problem with creating an account to access the
site. Anyway, you don´t have to supply your personal details to
subscribe. If you have anything to hide about yourself, just put in fake
personal details. You only have to provide a valid reachable e-mail
address. If you don´t want to reveal your main e-mail address, just
create an e-mail account in some free e-mail service.

What's truly a pity is that the site seems to be broken.
Just putting a simple download link would have avoided ALL this
trouble.
Bleah.

The site is overloaded due to its overwhealming success among the PHP
community.<br>
I am working day and night to move it to a more capable hosting service
while I am adapting the way that the site serve its content so it can be
mirrored world-wide for which there have been plenty of
requests.<br>
Meanwhile, please be patient and try again.

I'm sick of all these sites requiring registration just so they can sell
my e-mail address to the closests spam house. Just let me have the file
and stop requiring my precious e-mail address!
I get enough spam already.

I don't know where you live so I don't know what laws apply to your
country. But as a manager of the site, even if I wanted I could not sell
users private data including e-mail addresses because I am European. In
the European community it is forbidden by law to sell or otherwise share
users private data stored in computers.
Even if I could, I never had any intention to do it, as it is stated in
the site privacy policy:

Letting files be downloaded without requiring user login is a decision of
each author. Since I am the author if this class, I can tell you that
since most users just demand the authors code just like you do and hardly
evever thank the authors for giving away their work for free, at least we
deserve the compensation of having the downloads be properly accounted and
our classes ranked based on the number of unique real users that download
them.
So, I am not motivated to open an exception and give you the code without
logging in the site, especially because your demanding attitude as if we
humble free software developers have the duty to give away our work, even
less to people that rudely make false accusations of selling the
subscriber addresses.
Next time, think about respecting more free software developers work and
at least say "please" when you ask for our software.

so what is it (that i have to register) good for then anyway?
look, i am looking for a piece of software that i can use instead of
reinventing the wheel one more time.
therefore i have to look at the source code. most of the time a quick
glance tells me if it is worth working with or not.
i cant spend all day creating accouts just to get a quick peek at someones
software. after a few of those experiences i usually decide to write it
myself.
i am very much willing to give you my (regularly read) email address, if i
really _use_ your code.
but not for a quick look at it. it simlply consumes too much time.

Registering serves several purposes, including, but not limited, to
discourage authors with intentions to commit fraud in the top downloads by
creating many accounts. But for the users that are interested, registering
allows to site to keep track of the packages that they download, so when
those packages are updated they can be notified about the new releases.

Sorry, with the time that you already consumed with this pointless
complaint, you could have already created many accounts to download the
classes that you want to try.

His point, which I think you're still missing, is that people might be
interested in giving your software a look, crediting you (most people in
the OS community will), and even giving you mention. But he (and others)
are kept from even assessing the code's worth by sites like
PHPClasses.
I write PHP for a living, and NEVER use nor recommend their site. If
you have a valid piece of code you want to share openly, why bother with
sites like that? You could have the cure for cancer in code form, but I
and many others will skip over it because we DON'T HAVE THE TIME and DON'T
WANT THE SPAM (from you OR PHPClasses' advertisers)!

There is a big misunderstanding. The PHP Classes site does not impose the
login requirement. That is an option that any author can enable or not on
a file by file basis, as it is explained in the site
FAQ.
As you may realize by now, it is always up to the authors that voluntarily
submit their packages to the site. If they keep the login requirement it is
because it serves their interests.
Nobody that subscribes to the site receives any spam. You only fear that
the site or anybody else will send spam after you subscribe, because you
never subscribed. Your fear does not have foundation on the reality.
The PHP Classes is a reputed site that exists since 1999. It has near
300,000 subscribers, and is growing at a rate of over 7,600 new
subscribers a month. The reason why it attracts so many users is because
it published over 2,700 classes of objects contributed by more than 1,200
authors.
So, as you may understand by now, the only one that is loosing by refusing
to join the site is yourself. It only depends on you to stop excluding
yourself from benefit from the resources provided by the site.
