PHP implements conversion class instances for XML and data formats. xml instances
This example describes how to convert XML and data formats in PHP. Share it with you for your reference. The details are as follows:
<?php/** * xml2array() will convert the given XML text to an array in the XML structure. * Link: http://www.bin-co.com/php/scripts/xml2array/ * Arguments : $contents - The XML text * $get_attributes - 1 or 0. If this is 1 the function will get the attributes as well as the tag values - this results in a different array structure in the return value. * $priority - Can be 'tag' or 'attribute'. This will change the way the resulting array sturcture. For 'tag', the tags are given more importance. * Return: The parsed XML in an array form. Use print_r() to see the resulting array structure. * Examples: $array = xml2array(file_get_contents('feed.xml')); * $array = xml2array(file_get_contents('feed.xml', 1, 'attribute')); */function xml2array($contents, $get_attributes = 1, $priority = 'tag') { if (!$contents) return array(); if (!function_exists('xml_parser_create')) { // print "'xml_parser_create()' function not found!"; return array(); } // Get the XML parser of PHP - PHP must have this module for the parser to work $parser = xml_parser_create(''); xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_TARGET_ENCODING, "UTF-8"); // http://minutillo.com/steve/weblog/2004/6/17/php-xml-and-character-encodings-a-tale-of-sadness-rage-and-data-loss xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, 0); xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE, 1); xml_parse_into_struct($parser, trim($contents), $xml_values); xml_parser_free($parser); if (!$xml_values) return; //Hmm... // Initializations $xml_array = array(); $parents = array(); $opened_tags = array(); $arr = array(); $current = &$xml_array; //Refference // Go through the tags. $repeated_tag_index = array(); //Multiple tags with same name will be turned into an array foreach($xml_values as $data) { unset($attributes, $value); //Remove existing values, or there will be trouble // This command will extract these variables into the foreach scope // tag(string), type(string), level(int), attributes(array). extract($data); //We could use the array by itself, but this cooler. $result = array(); $attributes_data = array(); if (isset($value)) { if ($priority == 'tag') $result = $value; else $result['value'] = $value; //Put the value in a assoc array if we are in the 'Attribute' mode } // Set the attributes too. if (isset($attributes) and $get_attributes) { foreach($attributes as $attr => $val) { if ($priority == 'tag') $attributes_data[$attr] = $val; else $result['attr'][$attr] = $val; //Set all the attributes in a array called 'attr' } } // See tag status and do the needed. if ($type == "open") { // The starting of the tag '<tag>' $parent[$level-1] = &$current; if (!is_array($current) or (!in_array($tag, array_keys($current)))) { // Insert New tag $current[$tag] = $result; if ($attributes_data) $current[$tag .
