note 91564 added to function.simplexml-load-string

Here is my simple SimpleXML wrapper function. As far as I can tell, it does the same as Julio Cesar Oliveira's (above). It parses an XML string into a multi-dimensional associative array. The second argument is a callback that is run on all data (so for example, if you want all data trimmed, like Julio does in his function, just pass 'trim' as the second arg). <?php function unserialize_xml($input, $callback = null, $recurse = false) /* bool/array unserialize_xml ( string $input [ , callback $callback ] ) * Unserializes an XML string, returning a multi-dimensional associative array, optionally runs a callback on all non-array data * Returns false on all failure * Notes: * Root XML tags are stripped * Due to its recursive nature, unserialize_xml() will also support SimpleXMLElement objects and arrays as input * Uses simplexml_load_string() for XML parsing, see SimpleXML documentation for more info */ { // Get input, loading an xml string with simplexml if its the top level of recursion $data = ((!$recurse) && is_string($input))? simplexml_load_string($input): $input; // Convert SimpleXMLElements to array if ($data instanceof SimpleXMLElement) $data = (array) $data; // Recurse into arrays if (is_array($data)) foreach ($data as &$item) $item = unserialize_xml($item, $callback, true); // Run callback and return return (!is_array($data) && is_callable($callback))? call_user_func($callback, $data): $data; } ?> ---- Server IP: 117.104.162.229 Probable Submitter: 58.96.44.86 (proxied: 58.96.44.86) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-load-string.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/91564 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91564/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91564/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91564/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91564/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91564/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91564/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91564 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/91564 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
