I'm confused how to actually traverse this multidimensional array.

if I have:
$xml = xml2ary(file_get_contents($url));

then my xml gets stored as an array successfully.

But how do I traverse it? I tried a for loop, but it's not working. I don't know the values that are in the array and all the examples you have assume that you know the keys. Can you help me with this?

Great! thanks a lot as I'v been hitting my head against the wall for a good week now.
At last a simple function to extract xml into a array and hich support multiples tags with the same name and supports attributes as well.

@Todd

try: $xml['ddd']['_c']['onemore']['_c']['tt']['_a']['ss']['_v']['s1']

_c, _v, _a looks like it comes before the result

Very awesome!

If you have time, could you show an example of someone selecting the values of the tt element where the ss attribute equals s1?

This doesn't seem to work:
$xml['ddd']['_c']['onemore']['_c']['tt']['_a']['ss']['s1']['_v']

Hey.. this is a super tool. Quick question for you. I would like all attributes to have a numerical index. Is this possible? Example:

[ddd]
[onemore dd="55"]
[tt]333[/tt]
[tt ss="s1"]555[/tt]
[tt]777[/tt]
[/onemore]
[two]sdf rr[/two]
[/ddd]
(switched < to [, to post)
becomes this:

Array
(
[ddd] => Array (
[0] => Array (
[_c] => Array (
[onemore] => Array (
[0] => Array (
[_a] => Array (
[dd] => 55
)
[_c] => Array (
[tt] => Array (
[0] => Array (
[_v] => 333
)
...

any ideas?
This way I can use a uniform parse on all depths of the array, instead of checking if key [0] exists, and so on... THanks

Excelent, thanks a lot.
Hay to wigle with it a little, but it served it's purpose.
Only script around that did this thing.
Of course when you have acces to PHP5 there's simpleXML.

2008-01-12T11:02:00.000-08:00

I changed:
elseif (isset($r['_v'])) $res[]=$r['_v']
to:
elseif (isset($r['_v'])) $res[]=htmlspecialchars($r['_v'])
.

Now values like "hal&lo" will go well.

Plug&play ... really!! Thks.

PERFECT!!! I have been looking around FOREVER for a nice xml=>array class/functions out there. I modified your program to be class-based, but other than that, this is SAAAAWEEEEET!!! I love the fact that it standardizes everything...like if you have a subarray, it automatically sets it up to have a 0 index, rather than waiting until there are multiple children before making it. That is easily the sweetest thing that I have ever seen!!!!!!

2007-06-18T23:42:00.000-07:00

Hola, bro!

A nice piece of work.

1. ary2xml() returns xml without end tag. Is it a feature?
2. May be it is better to have it with a header which states that is xml script&

Of course, I made these changes and using it. If anybody needs this function with above features included, just let me know at sapargali at gmail dot com.

GREAT! Thanks! ;-)

Great piece of code! Thanks!
Wouldn't be a good idea adding support for html content on ary2xml function? I made a small mod for your code, adding the CDATA tag between the value (couldn't paste the code)

just my 2 cents, thanks ;)
