I wanted to convert an array containing strings and other arrays of the same type into a simplexml object. Here is the code of the function array2xml that I've developed to perform this conversion. Please note that this code is simple without any checks. function array2xml($array, $tag) { function ia2xml($array) { $xml=""; foreach ($array as $key=>$value) { if (is_array($value)) { $xml.="<$key>".ia2xml($value)."</$key>"; } else { $xml.="<$key>".$value."</$key>"; } } return $xml; } return simplexml_load_string("<$tag>".ia2xml($array)."</$tag>"); } $test['type']='lunch'; $test['time']='12:30'; $test['menu']=array('entree'=>'salad', 'maincourse'=>'steak'); echo array2xml($test,"meal")->asXML(); ---- Server IP: 80.241.173.254 Probable Submitter: 87.3.189.137 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-load-string.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/86428 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86428/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86428/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86428/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86428/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86428/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86428/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86428 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/86428 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
