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();

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);
		}
	}
}

Re: Multi-dimension Array to XML ?

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

Hi

I'm trying to modify this code but running into some problems.

I've noticed your using a getRoot() function as well as passing what seem
like multiple nodenames to appendChild()

This doesn't seem to be in v2.1 on sourceforge.net, are you using some kind
of dev version?

Thanks


Girish

RE: Multi-dimension Array to XML ?

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

i'm just writing out pseudocode off the top of my head, cause i haven't used the newer versions of the class :)

there is (was?) a method that returned the root node (if there isn't, there should be). if you already know your root node, just cut
that part out, and pass your root node in. it was just a convenience thang anyway.

and i wasn't passing 2 nodes to appendChild, i was assuming you could call it like so:
appendChild($node,$newNodeName,$newNodeValue).

looks like you must call appendData() to set element content, so just cut off the ",$v" from that part.
