xmlReaderGetDepth

SYNOPSIS

int xmlReaderGetDepth(xmlReader reader)

Parameters:

• reader - the xmlReader object

Returns:

• The reader's current depth

DESCRIPTION
xmlReaderGetDepth() returns how many elements deep the reader's current position is, where the root element is 1, its children are 2, its children's children are 3, etc.

EXAMPLE

<$depth = (xmlReaderGetDepth($reader))>

CAVEATS
The xmlReader parser can read ahead and buffer some of the XML message, so functions like this might not match the current element.
