note 27015 added to function.xml-parse-into-struct

I made my own xml2tree()-function. The difference to the previously suggested ones on this manual page is that this creates a tree where the tags are keys. Example input: <tree> <leaf name="gruu"> plöö </leaf> <animal type="cat" /> </tree> Example output: Array ( 'tree' => Array ( 0 => Array ( 'children' => Array ( 'leaf' => Array ( 0 => Array ( 'attrs' => Array('name' => 'gruu'), 'values' => Array(0 => ' plöö ') ) ), 'animal' => Array ( 0 => Array ( 'attrs' => Array('type' => 'cat') ) ) ) ) ) ) function xml2tree2($string) { $parser = xml_parser_create(); xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, 0); xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE, 1); xml_parse_into_struct($parser, $string, $vals, $index); xml_parser_free($parser); $stack = array( array() ); $stacktop = 0; $parent = array(); foreach($vals as $val) { $type = $val['type']; if($type=='open' || $type=='complete') { // open tag $stack[$stacktop++] = $tagi; $tagi = array('tag' => $val['tag']); if(isset($val['attributes'])) $tagi['attrs'] = $val['attributes']; if(isset($val['value'])) $tagi['values'][] = $val['value']; } if($type=='complete' || $type=='close') { // finish tag $tags[] = $oldtagi = $tagi; $tagi = $stack[--$stacktop]; $oldtag = $oldtagi['tag']; unset($oldtagi['tag']); $tagi['children'][$oldtag][] = $oldtagi; $parent = $tagi; } if($type=='cdata') { $tagi['values'][] = $val['value']; } } return $parent['children']; } Ps: Note that the xml parsing for some reason chokes if the values contain <> (even inside ""). You need to escape them as &lt; and &gt;. Same for & (for obvious reasons). Escape it as &amp;. For example "&nbsp;" should be written as "&amp;nbsp;". -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.xml-parse-into-struct.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+27015 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+27015 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+27015
