<para>
This function will convert the well-formed XML document in the file
specified by <parameter>filename</parameter> to an <type>object</type>
of class <type>SimpleXMLElement</type>. If any errors occur during file
access or interpretation, the function returns &false;.
</para>
<para>
You may use the optional <parameter>class_name</parameter> parameter so
that <function>simplexml_load_file</function> will return an object of
the specified class. That class should extend the
<type>SimpleXMLElement</type> class.
</para>
<para>
Since PHP 5.1.0 and Libxml 2.6.0, you may also use the
<parameter>options</parameter> parameter to specify <link
linkend="libxml.constants">additional Libxml parameters</link>.
</para>
<para>
<example>
<title>Interpret an XML document</title>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
// The file test.xml contains an XML document with a root element
// and at least an element /[root]/title.
if (file_exists('test.xml')) {
$xml = simplexml_load_file('test.xml');
var_dump($xml);
} else {
exit('Failed to open test.xml.');
}
?>

<para>
This script will display, on success:
</para>
<screen>
<![CDATA[
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[title] => Example Title

<simpara>
At this point, you can go about using <literal>$xml->title</literal>
and any other elements.
