Re: Multi-dimension Array to XML ?

[Girish N. <gi...@bt...>]

Hi

Thanks for your code, i've modified it to insert data from my array too, but
i need some advice regarding flexibilty.

Currently it will deal with an array such as below with no problem.

$request["mission"]["dest"] = "France";
$request["mission"]["date"] = "22/07/2001";


But if i add one more level for example :


$request["contact"]["email"]["work"] = "j....@mi...";
$request["contact"]["email"]["home"] = "j....@ao...";

It can't handle it, i need to go down atleast one more level, but would also
like to make it future-proof just in-case the project specs get modified
later.

Thanks for your help.

 $root = "/request[1]";

  foreach($request as $k => $v){

   if(is_array($v)){
   $newNode = $myXML->appendChild($root, $k);

    foreach($v as $a => $b){
    $myXML->appendChild($newNode,$a, $b);
    $myXML->appendData($newNode . "/" . $a, $b);
    }

   }
   else {
   $newNode = $myXML->appendChild($root, $k, $v);
   $myXML->appendData($newNode, $v);
   }

  }

 print $myXML->exportAsXml();
