A working xml to array parser.
Modeled after the previous post it is functionally different as follows:
1. Will always return an array.
2. Includes the content from all elements.
3. Includes all multiple elements in the same array.
4. Has been thoroughly tested before being posted.
Notes:
1. Ignores content that is not in between it's own set of tags.
2. 'attrib' and 'cdata' are keys added to the array when the element contains
both attributes and content.
Usage:
$domObj = new xmlToArrayParser($xml);
$domArr = $domObj->array;
eg.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<top>
<element1>element content 1</element1>
<element2 var2="val2" />
<element3 var3="val3" var4="val4">element content 3</element3>
<element3 var5="val5">element content 4</element3>
<element3 var6="val6" />
<element3>element content 7</element3>
</top>
$domArr['top']['element1'] => element content 1
$domArr['top']['element2']['attrib']['var2'] => val2
$domArr['top']['element3']['0']['attrib']['var3']
=> val3
$domArr['top']['element3']['0']['attrib']['var4']
=> val4
$domArr['top']['element3']['0']['cdata'] => element
content 3
$domArr['top']['element3']['1']['attrib']['var5']
=> val5
$domArr['top']['element3']['1']['cdata'] => element
content 4
$domArr['top']['element3']['2']['attrib']['var6']
=> val6
$domArr['top']['element3']['3'] => element content 7
Note: If your output contains something like this "é" which is supposed to be the
letter "é" make sure your character set is UTF-8.
eg. <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
