A small 'n nice function to extract an XML and return it as an array. If there is a bug, please let me know here. I testet it for my purposes and it works. <?php public function extractXML($xml) { if (!($xml->children())) { return (string) $xml; } foreach ($xml->children() as $child) { $name=$child->getName(); if (count($xml->$name)==1) { $element[$name] = $this->extractXML($child); } else { $element[][$name] = $this->extractXML($child); } } return $element; } // you can call it this way $xml = false; $xml = @simplexml_load_string($xmlstring); // 1) if ($xml) { $array = extractXML($xml); } else { $array = false; } // 2) if ($xml) { $array[$xml->getName()] = extractXML($xml); } else { $array = false; } ?> ---- Server IP: 217.160.72.57 Probable Submitter: 80.146.215.43 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.simplexml.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/83781 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83781/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83781/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83781/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83781/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83781/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83781/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83781 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/83781 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
