I have changed the simpleXMLToArray function from xananax at yelostudio dot com a little bit.
Because the old function can not handle the xml file like this:
test.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<fieldA />
<fieldA />
<fieldB />
<fieldB />
</root>
Code i have changed:
<?php
/**
* Converts a simpleXML element into an array. Preserves attributes and everything.
* You can choose to get your elements either flattened, or stored in a custom index that
* you define.
* @param simpleXMLElement $xml the XML to convert
* @param boolean $flattenValues Choose wether to flatten values
* or to set them under a particular index.
* defaults to true;
* @param boolean $flattenAttributes Choose wether to flatten attributes
* or to set them under a particular index.
* Defaults to true;
* @param boolean $flattenChildren Choose wether to flatten children
* or to set them under a particular index.
* Defaults to true;
* @param string $valueKey index for values, in case $flattenValues was set to
* false. Defaults to "@value"
* @param string $attributesKey index for attributes, in case $flattenAttributes was set
to
* false. Defaults to "@attributes"
* @param string $childrenKey index for children, in case $flattenChildren was set to
* false. Defaults to "@children"
* @return array the resulting array.
*/
function simpleXMLToArray($xml,
$flattenValues=true,
$flattenAttributes = true,
$flattenChildren=true,
$valueKey='@value',
$attributesKey='@attributes',
$childrenKey='@children'){
$return = array();
if(!($xml instanceof SimpleXMLElement)){return $return;}
$name = $xml->getName();
$_value = trim((string)$xml);
if(strlen($_value)==0){$_value = null;};
if($_value!==null){
if(!$flattenValues){$return[$valueKey] = $_value;}
else{$return = $_value;}
}
$children = array();
$first = "";
foreach($xml->children() as $elementName => $child){
$value = simpleXMLToArray($child, $flattenValues, $flattenAttributes, $flattenChildren,
$valueKey, $attributesKey, $childrenKey);
if(isset($children[$elementName])){
if($first === "" || $first != $elementName){
$temp = $children[$elementName];
unset($children[$elementName]);
$children[$elementName][] = $temp;
$first=$elementName;
}
$children[$elementName][] = $value;
}
else{
$children[$elementName] = $value;
}
}
if(count($children)>0){
if(!$flattenChildren){$return[$childrenKey] = $children;}
else{$return = array_merge($return,$children);}
}
$attributes = array();
