I'm trying to get the SimpleXML extension to read an XML file and

The SimpleXML docs state that libxml options may be specified using
the predefined constants that are available when PHP is compiled with
libxml support (as it is when you use SimpleXML).

LIBMLXML_XINLCUDE currently only works with XMLReader.
You would need to import your doc to DOM and then processes the xinclude:
$xml_file = './master.xml';
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xml_file, 0, true);
$dom = dom_import_simplexml($xml);
$dom->ownerDocument->xinclude();
print_r($xml);

Thanks Rob. That works. And it appears to work flawlessly if you
subsequently convert it back to a SimpleXML object too:
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xml_file, 0, true);
$dom = dom_import_simplexml($xml);
$dom->ownerDocument->xinclude();
$xml = simplexml_import_dom($dom);
Dump($xml);
I have to convert it back to the SimpleXML object as I have an existing
application that relies on the SimpleXML structure.
Is it likely that this will be supported directly by SimpleXML in future
versions of PHP?
