note 77816 added to function.simplexml-element-asXML

I extended SimpleXml and added this code to give me pleasant source code XML. I'm sure it's ugly so if you can do it better go ahead... <?php public function asPrettyXML() { $string = $this->asXML(); /** * put each element on it's own line */ $string =preg_replace("/>\s*</",">\n<",$string); /** * each element to own array */ $xmlArray = explode("\n",$string); /** * holds indentation */ $currIndent = 0; /** * set xml element first by shifting of initial element */ $string = array_shift($xmlArray) . "\n"; foreach($xmlArray as $element) { /** find open only tags... add name to stack, and print to string * increment currIndent */ if (preg_match('/^<([\w])+[^>\/]*>$/U',$element)) { $string .= str_repeat(' ', $currIndent) . $element . "\n"; $currIndent += self::indent; } /** * find standalone closures, decrement currindent, print to string */ elseif ( preg_match('/^<\/.+>$/',$element)) { $currIndent -= self::indent; $string .= str_repeat(' ', $currIndent) . $element . "\n"; } /** * find open/closed tags on the same line print to string */ else { $string .= str_repeat(' ', $currIndent) . $element . "\n"; } } return $string; } ?> Regards, Gary Malcolm ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 64.112.238.244 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-element-asXML.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77816 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77816/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77816/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77816/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77816/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77816/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77816/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77816 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77816 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
