Is it possible to read the header of an XML file from PHP?

Question

PHP

Hello! Please tell me how, besides parsing XML as a text string, to read the parameters from the header (headers):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="WINDOWS-1251"?>
<?HEADER version="23.52" NAME="SuperSoft"?>

Answer 1

XML is a text format.
In addition to parsing, options are possible, split by the separator >, with a regular expression.
It is not necessary to read the whole data, it is enough to read only part of the data.
