Exercise 1

Create a PHP program (to be launched from the command line) which takes as input the name of a XML file, reads the specified file and outputs the number of classes defined in the XML file.

When running your program against the provided sample1.xml file, the expected result is: 4.

Exercise 2

Create a PHP program (to be launched from the command line) which takes as input a XML file, reads the specified file and outputs a PHP file containing a valid PHP declaration of all the classes defined in the given XML file.

Run your program against the provided sample1.xml and check that the result is a valid PHP file.

Example:

For example, the following XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<classes>
    <class id="MyClass1"/>
    <class id="MyClass2">
        <parent>
            <class id="MyClass1"/>
        </parent>
    </class>
</classes>

Must produce the following PHP:

<?php
class MyClass1
{
}
class MyClass2 extends MyClass1
{
}
