RE: Multi-dimension Array to XML ?

[Dietrich A. <die...@ga...>]

you could do something like this (again, pseudocode):

function recursiveArraytoxml(&$myXML,$array,$contexNode=false){
	// if no context node passed, set root node as context
	if(!$contextNode){
		$contextNode = $myXML->getRoot();
	}
	// loop thru array, creating nodes
	foreach($request as $k => $v){
		// recurse if value is an array
		if(is_array($v)){
			$newNode = $myXML->appendChild($node, $k);
			recursiveArraytoxml($myXML,$newNode,$v);
		} else {
			$newNode = $myXML->appendChild($node, $k, $v);
			$myXML->appendData($newNode, $v);
		}
	}
}
