note 110165 added to class.xmlreader

For those of you getting xml files that do not contain duplicate elements (in the same element), the following converter converts to arrays with key/value mapping (thus overwriting duplicate elements!): Note this is untested with attributes although I built in support. function xml2assoc($xml, array &$target = array()) { while ($xml->read()) { switch ($xml->nodeType) { case XMLReader::END_ELEMENT: return $target; case XMLReader::ELEMENT: $name = $xml->name; $target[$name] = $xml->hasAttributes ? array() : ''; if (!$xml->isEmptyElement) { $target[$name] = array(); xml2assoc($xml, $target[$name]); } if ($xml->hasAttributes) while($xml->moveToNextAttribute()) $target[$name]['@'.$xml->name] = $xml->value; break; case XMLReader::TEXT: case XMLReader::CDATA: $target = $xml->value; } } return $target; } ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 87.213.98.98 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.xmlreader.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/110165 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110165/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110165/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110165/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110165/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110165/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110165/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110165 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/110165 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
