Note Submitter: pa ul at sant a soft dot co m ---- One thing to note about the object2array function from aleshru below... this function doesn't handle CDATA fields (e.g. a poorly formed HTML formatted message.) It just returns an empty array. example XML: --------------8<--------------- <note> <subject>HTML Message Dude!</subject> <content><![CDATA[ <B> this is some </b> CDATA data that is useful to handle or at least see. <div> it doesn't matter that the HTML isn't properly </di>v opened or closed. <br> the html content is still continuing!!]]></content> </note> --------------8<--------------- the simpleXML built in functionality seems to handle this just dandily however. <?php $object = simplexml_load_string($that_string_of_xml_above); echo ((string) $object->content); /* OUTPUT: <B> this is some </b> CDATA data that is useful to handle or at least see. <div> it doesn't matter that the HTML isn't properly </di>v opened or closed. <br> the html content is still continuing!! */ ?> This object2array function does work well for the other types of xml content however.
