note 54106 added to function.xml-parse-into-struct

The code previously posted by noob at noobsrule dot com doesn't work when the same tag name is used at different levels. (but perhaps "$php_used_prefix" was intended for that ?) For example: <RatedShipment> <TransportationCharges> ... </TransportationCharges> <RatedPackage> <TransportationCharges> ... </TransportationCharges> </RatedPackage> </RatedShipment> <?php $p = xml_parser_create(); xml_parser_set_option($p, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, 0); xml_parser_set_option($p, XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE, 1); xml_parse_into_struct($p, $UPSxml, $values, $idx); xml_parser_free($p); // tracking used keys $usedKeys = array(); $deepLevel = -1; // start a php array string (evaluated later) $forEvalPrefix = '$xml_array'; // loop throught the value array foreach ($values as $key => $val) { $tagName = $val['tag']; // pass the key tag into a more friendly looking variable $level = $val['level']; // idem if($val['type'] == 'open') { $deepLevel++; // increase deep level $forEvalPrefix .= '[\''. $tagName .'\']'; // begin used keys checks to allow multidimensionatity under the same tag (isset($usedKeys[$level][$tagName])) ? $usedKeys[$level][$tagName]++ : $usedKeys[$level][$tagName] = 0; $forEvalPrefix .= '['. $usedKeys[$level][$tagName] .']'; } if($val['type'] == 'complete') { ($level > $deepLevel) ? $deepLevel++ : ''; // increase $deepLevel only if current level is bigger $tagValue = addslashes($val['value'] ); // format the value for evaluation as a string $forEvalSuffix = '[\''. $tagName .'\'] = \''. $tagValue .'\';'; // create a string to append to the current prefix $forEval = $forEvalPrefix . $forEvalSuffix; // (without "$php_used_prefix"...) eval($forEval); // write the string to the array structure } if($val['type'] == 'close') { unset($usedKeys[$deepLevel]); // Suppress tagname's keys useless $deepLevel--; $forEvalPrefix = substr($forEvalPrefix, 0, strrpos($forEvalPrefix, '[')); // cut off the used keys node $forEvalPrefix = substr($forEvalPrefix, 0, strrpos($forEvalPrefix, '[')); // cut off the end level of the array string prefix } } echo '<pre>'; print_r ($xml_array); echo '</pre>'; ?> MADmac ;-) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.xml-parse-into-struct.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+54106 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54106&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54106&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54106&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54106&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54106&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54106&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+54106&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
