I liked VampBoy's code as it gave me structure pretty much as I wanted it. Just two notes, though: There is a bug in this code. subdivide() checks for pre-existing values, but not in the case of a "complete" element. In the following (appallingly bad) XML <Names> <Name>Matt</Name> <Name>Stacy</Name> <Names> Only Stacy is added to Names in the array, wiping Matt in the process. To fix this replace the following code <?php elseif ($dat[level] === $level && $dat[type] === "complete"){ $newarray[$dat[tag]]=$dat[value]; } ?> with <?php elseif ($dat[level] === $level && $dat[type] === "complete"){ if (isset($newarray[$dat['tag']]) && is_array($newarray[$dat['tag']])){ $newarray[$dat['tag']][] = $dat['value']; } elseif (isset($newarray[$dat['tag']]) && !is_array($newarray[$dat['tag']])){ $newarray[$dat['tag']] = array($newarray[$dat['tag']], $dat['value']); } else { $newarray[$dat['tag']]=$dat['value']; } }?> Oh, also, note that the $dat[level], etc, WILL generate warnings, and should be more correctly written as $dat['level']. The other thing I thought I should point out is that the array keys when created using xml_parse_into_struct will be an UPPERCASE version of your existing element names. If case is important, especially if you, like me, need mixedCase, do the following: <?php $xml_parser = xml_parser_create(); xml_parser_set_option($xml_parser,XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING,0); ?> ---- Server IP: 203.16.234.91 Probable Submitter: 203.185.225.70 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.xml-parse-into-struct.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/63879 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63879/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63879/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63879/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63879/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63879/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63879/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63879 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/63879 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
