Here is a function I wrote that converts an associative array into an xml output. It also includes tabs to ensure the xml output is easy to read. /* * James Earlywine - July 20th 2011 * * Translates a jagged associative array * to XML * * @param : $theArray - The jagged Associative Array * @param : $tabCount - for persisting tab count across recursive function calls */ function assocToXML ($theArray, $tabCount=2) { //echo "The Array: "; //var_dump($theArray); // variables for making the XML output easier to read // with human eyes, with tabs delineating nested relationships, etc. $tabCount++; $tabSpace = ""; $extraTabSpace = ""; for ($i = 0; $i<$tabCount; $i++) { $tabSpace .= "\t"; } for ($i = 0; $i<$tabCount+1; $i++) { $extraTabSpace .= "\t"; } // parse the array for data and output xml foreach($theArray as $tag => $val) { if (!is_array($val)) { $theXML .= PHP_EOL.$tabSpace.'<'.$tag.'>'.htmlentities($val).'</'.$tag.'>'; } else { $tabCount++; $theXML .= PHP_EOL.$extraTabSpace.'<'.$tag.'>'.assocToXML($val, $tabCount); $theXML .= PHP_EOL.$extraTabSpace.'</'.$tag.'>'; } } return $theXML; } ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 99.73.189.154 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.simplexml.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/105002 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105002/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105002/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105002/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105002/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105002/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105002/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105002 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/105002 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
