– i added \s* to get reed of existing whitespaces :

// add marker linefeeds to aid the pretty-tokeniser (adds a linefeed between all tag-end boundaries)
$xml = preg_replace(’/(>)\s*(< )(\/*)/’, ”$1\n$2$3”, $xml);
– i added $indent=0; too because the indent fail sometime for me ! :

// 2. closing tag – outdent now
elseif (preg_match(’/^< \/\w/’, $token, $matches)) :
$pad—;$indent=0;

thanks for this, made me win a lot of time.

public static function formatXmlString($xml) {
$xml = escapeshellarg($xml);
$result = array();
exec(‘echo ’.$xml.’ | xmllint—format -’,$result);
$result = join(”\n”,$result);
return $result;

Modify function declaration this way: function formatXmlString($xml, $padstr = " "); 2. change $line declaration this way: $line = str_repeat($padstr, $pad).$token; Custom padding
1. Modify function declaration this way: function formatXmlString($xml, $padstr = ” ”);

2. change $line declaration this way:
$line = str_repeat($padstr, $pad).$token;

Would be great to have tabs instead of spaces. Something like "formatXmlString($xml, $indent = "\t")". Cheers Enrico Nice stuff! Would be great to have tabs instead of spaces.

I could possibly put exceptions in if there was a need for them.
