Working fix for the infamous SimpleXML + memcache bug. Improves code at http://tinyurl.com/bmoon-simplexml to actually work for arbitrary-depth structures. (Because neither the function nor the json_decode(json_encode($obj)) hack listed there worked for me.) There's probably some superfluous code in here that could be improved on -- but it works! <? # convert a structure that may include objects to a pure # array-based structure (that can be stored in memcache) # ... includes support for simplexml! # (nb: may have problems with infinite recursive structs) function enforce_array($obj) { $array = (array)$obj; if(empty($array)) { $array = ''; } else { foreach($array as $key=>$value) { if(!is_scalar($value)) { if(is_a($value,'SimpleXMLElement')) { $tmp = memcache_objects_to_array($value); if(!is_array($tmp)) { $tmp = ''.$value; } $array[$key] = $tmp; } else { $array[$key] = enforce_array($value); } } else { $array[$key] = $value; } } } return $array; } ?> ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 87.194.70.98 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.simplexml.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/91494 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91494/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91494/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91494/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91494/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91494/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91494/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91494 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/91494 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
