note 23526 added to function.xml-parse-into-struct

Wow, took a while to consume all of this. I am a noobie at XML, in fact i just really started working with it today. I went ahead and added to the above code by gdemartini@bol.com.br. I also added the update by nyk@cowham.net. Added 'value' => $vals[$i]['value'] to the open case, as some nodes have both cdata as well as a children node. In previous versions of the functions the cdata of a node(a) that also had children would get stored in the children's array of the parent node(a). Now only children values are in the children array and the cdata is in the value key of the parent node(a). Added 'value' => $vals[$i]['value'] to tree array as the vals array produced by PHP includes a value to the top most node if no children exist (for completeness). Also, using xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE,1) will strip all white space from both around the XML tags as well as inside the cdata. I added a piece of code by waldo@wh-e.com to take care of this. All SPACE characters are now only stripped from around the XML tags and cdata spacing is retained. CODE: *************************************** function GetChildren($vals, &$i) { $children = array(); while (++$i < sizeof($vals)) { // compair type switch ($vals[$i]['type']) { case 'cdata': $children[] = $vals[$i]['value']; break; case 'complete': $children[] = array( 'tag' => $vals[$i]['tag'], 'attributes' => $vals[$i]['attributes'], 'value' => $vals[$i]['value'] ); break; case 'open': $children[] = array( 'tag' => $vals[$i]['tag'], 'attributes' => $vals[$i]['attributes'], 'value' => $vals[$i]['value'], 'children' => GetChildren($vals, $i) ); break; case 'close': return $children; } } } function GetXMLTree($file) { $data = implode('', file($file)); // by: waldo@wh-e.com - trim space around tags not within $data = eregi_replace(">"."[[:space:]]+"."<","><",$data); // XML functions $p = xml_parser_create(); // by: anony@mous.com - meets XML 1.0 specification xml_parser_set_option($p, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, 0); xml_parse_into_struct($p, $data, &$vals, &$index); xml_parser_free($p); $i = 0; $tree = array(); $tree[] = array( 'tag' => $vals[$i]['tag'], 'attributes' => $vals[$i]['attributes'], 'value' => $vals[$i]['value'], 'children' => GetChildren($vals, $i) ); return $tree; } *************************************** -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.xml-parse-into-struct.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+23526 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+23526 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+23526
