Converting SimpleXML objects to an array:
<?php
$sx = simplexml_load_string('your xml string here');
function recursive_obj2array($obj, &$subject_array=array()) {
foreach ((array) $obj as $key => $var) {
if (is_object($var)) {
if(count((array) $var) == 0) {
$subject_array[$key] = 'NULL';
}
else {
recursive_obj2array($var, $subject_array[$key]);
}
}
else {
$subject_array[$key] = $var;
}
}
}
$gimmie = array();
recursive_obj2array($sx, $gimmie);
?>
Then $gimmie is foreach friendly.
Quick and dirty, but rather effective.
