Magento/PHP: Convert your XML Object to Array
While developing shipment tracking using SimpleXML in magento, I came accross the requirement where I have to get all the XML tags as keys and all the data inside XML tags as values in array. Means I wanted to convert XML to an Array where I can display all the information in some decorative format.
So here is how I converted XML to Array without any kind of hardcoding.
PHP class method to convert xml to array
public function convertXmlObjToArr($obj, &$arr){ | |
$children = $obj->children(); | |
$executed = false; | |
foreach ($children as $elementName => $node){ | |
if($arr[$elementName]!=null){ | |
if($arr[$elementName][0]!==null){ | |
$i = count($arr[$elementName]); | |
$this->convertXmlObjToArr($node, $arr[$elementName][$i]); | |
}else{ | |
$tmp = $arr[$elementName]; | |
$arr[$elementName] = array(); | |
$arr[$elementName][0] = $tmp; | |
$i = count($arr[$elementName]); | |
$this->convertXmlObjToArr($node, $arr[$elementName][$i]); | |
} | |
}else{ | |
$arr[$elementName] = array(); | |
$this->convertXmlObjToArr($node, $arr[$elementName]); | |
} | |
$executed = true; | |
} | |
if(!$executed&&$children->getName()==""){ | |
$arr = (String)$obj; | |
} | |
return; | |
} |
Hope this helps!
