PAXML: PHP Array \[representation of\] XML
==========================================

[](#paxml-php-array-representation-of-xml)

This is a tiny library for emitting XML. Or XHTML.

Its intended use is to replace HTML/PHP template code with something easier to read and write and manipulate.

e.g. instead of

```
Hi my name is
```

you would construct a PAXML value like:

```
$value = ['p', 'Hi my name is ', $name];
```

and then output it using

```
EarthIT_PAXML::emit($value);
```

If you need a Nife\_Blob, make one like so:

```
$blob = new EarthIT_PAXML_PAXMLBlob($value);
```

PAXML Values
------------

[](#paxml-values)

Scalars represent text.

Arrays represent elements.

The 0th element of an array gives the tag name.

Subsequent numerically-keyed elements of an array give sub-tags.

String-keyed elements of an array give attribute values.

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

```
['p', 'style'=>'color: green', 'I like ', ['span', 'style'=>'color: red', 'food'], '.']
```

Will be emitted as:

```
I like food.
```
