Instead of passing a URL, we can pass the XML content to this class (either you
want to use CURL, Socks or fopen to retrieve it first) and instead of using
array, I'm using separator '|' to identify which data to get (in order to make
it short to retrieve a complex XML data). Here is my class with built-in fopen
which you can pass URL or you can pass the content instead :
p/s : thanks to this great help page.
<?php
class xx_xml {
// XML parser variables
var $parser;
var $name;
var $attr;
var $data = array();
var $stack = array();
var $keys;
var $path;
// either you pass url atau contents.
// Use 'url' or 'contents' for the parameter

And example of retrieving XML data:
p/s: example use to retrieve weather
<?php
include_once "xx_xml.class.php";
// Im using simple curl (the original is in class) to get the contents
$pageurl = "http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=MYXX0008&u=c";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $pageurl );
$thecontents = curl_exec ( $ch );
curl_close($ch);
// We want to pass only a ready XML content instead of URL
// But if you want to use URL , skip the curl functions above and use this
// $xx4 = new xx_xml("url here",'url');
$xx4 = new xx_xml($thecontents,'contents');
// As you can see, we use saparator '|' instead of long array
$Code = $xx4->data ['rss|channel|item|yweather:condition']['code'] ;
$Celcius = $xx4->data ['rss|channel|item|yweather:condition']['temp'] ;
$Text = $xx4->data ['rss|channel|item|yweather:condition']['text'] ;
$Cityname = $xx4->data ['rss|channel|yweather:location']['city'] ;
?>
Hope this helps.

Just wanted to note a small bug in bbellwfu's class (which is really great btw).
It fails to capture any datums which are equal to numerical zero.
The problem lies in the function tagData, the first if statement should be:
if(trim($tagData) != '') {

This is very simple way to convert all applicable objects into associative array. This works with not only SimpleXML but any kind of object. The input can be either array or object. This function also takes an options parameter as array of indices to be excluded in the return array. And keep in mind, this returns only the array of non-static and accessible variables of the object since using the function get_object_vars().
<?php
function objectsIntoArray($arrObjData, $arrSkipIndices = array())
{
$arrData = array();
// if input is object, convert into array
if (is_object($arrObjData)) {
$arrObjData = get_object_vars($arrObjData);
}
if (is_array($arrObjData)) {
foreach ($arrObjData as $index => $value) {
if (is_object($value) || is_array($value)) {
$value = objectsIntoArray($value, $arrSkipIndices); // recursive call
}
if (in_array($index, $arrSkipIndices)) {
continue;
}
$arrData[$index] = $value;
}
}
return $arrData;
}
?>
Usage:
<?php
$xmlUrl = "feed.xml"; // XML feed file/URL
$xmlStr = file_get_contents($xmlUrl);
$xmlObj = simplexml_load_string($xmlStr);
$arrXml = objectsIntoArray($xmlObj);
print_r($arrXml);
?>

The suggestions below have been a great help, but there was one thing I really needed...
I'm parsing Amazon XML data, and I wanted to be able to index into the array using something like:
<?php
print "<p>" . $strAXML->arrOutput[ITEMLOOKUPRESPONSE][ITEMS][ITEM][SMALLIMAGE][URL];
?>
To solve this, I had to push all of the open tags onto a separate stack, add any tag data to the tail end of an attributed multi-dimensional array, and then pop the tag name off of the stack once it was closed...
<?php
class xml2array {
var $arrOutput = array();
var $arrName = array();
var $objParser;
var $strXmlData;
function parse($strInputXML) {
// standard XML parse object setup
$this->objParser = xml_parser_create ();
xml_set_object($this->objParser,$this);
xml_set_element_handler($this->objParser, "tagOpen", "tagClosed");
xml_set_character_data_handler($this->objParser, "tagData");
$this->strXmlData = xml_parse($this->objParser,$strInputXML );
if(!$this->strXmlData) {
die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",
xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($this->objParser)),
xml_get_current_line_number($this->objParser)));
}
xml_parser_free($this->objParser);
return $this->arrOutput;
}
function tagOpen($parser, $name, $attrs) {
// push the current tag name to an array of still-open tag names
array_push ($this->arrName, $name);
// merge the array of current attributes to the open tag
// NOTE: this does not currently handle multiple attributes with the same name
// (i.e. it will overwrite them with the last values)
$strEval = "\$this->arrOutput";
foreach ($this->arrName as $value) {
$strEval .= "[" . $value . "]";
}
$strEval = $strEval . " = array_merge (" . $strEval . ",\$attrs);";
eval ($strEval);
}
function tagData($parser, $tagData) {
// set the latest open tag equal to the tag data
$strEval = "\$this->arrOutput";
foreach ($this->arrName as $value) {
$strEval .= "[" . $value . "]";
}
$strEval = $strEval . " = \$tagData;";
eval ($strEval);
}
function tagClosed($parser, $name) {
// pop this tag (and any subsequent tags) off the stack of open tag names
for ($i = count ($this->arrName) - 1; $i > 0; $i--) {
$currName = $this->arrName[$i];
array_pop ($this->arrName);
if ($currName == $name) {
break;
}
}
}
}
?>

Here is the inverse function which takes parsed xml array in entry and outputs xml string
enjoy !
function getXmlFromArray($root){
if(count($root) > 0){
$curr_name = $root['name'];
$attribs = $root['attrs'];
$curr_childs = $root['children'];
$curr_data = $root['cdata'];
$xml .= '<'.$curr_name;
if(count($attribs) > 0){
$i = 1;
foreach($attribs as $key => $value){
$curr_attribs .= $key.'="'.$value.'"';
$i++;
if($i <= count($attribs)){
$curr_attribs .= ' ';
}
}
$xml .= ' '.$curr_attribs;
}
if($curr_data != ''){
$xml .= '><![CDATA['.$curr_data.']]></'.$curr_name.'>';
} else {
if(count($curr_childs) > 0){
$xml .= '>';
foreach($curr_childs as $child){
$xml .= getXmlFromArray($child);
}
$xml .= '</'.$curr_name.'>';
} else {
$xml .= '/>';
}
}
}
return $xml;

bbellwfu's code does not handle 'text nodes' properly.
Consider the innards of a tag like <root>xxx<tag2/>yyy</root>
The 'tagData' for root will be "xxxyyy" and you have lost all information about where "tag2" was in that sequence.
Quick and dirty hack.
Replace tagData with this code :
function tagData($parser, $tagData) {
$last_element=count($this->arrOutput)-1;
$this->arrOutput[$last_element]['children'][] = array("textnode",$tagData);
}
What this does is adds 'textnodes' as children of its containing parent, *in the right sequence* (rather like the internet browsers do it). This then lets you do some more sensible secondary work like recursively looking up internal references within the document...

I wanted to create a really simple XML parser, but I found the array management in xml_parse a bit daunting. So I flattened my XML and parsed it using string matching. It wouldn't be difficult to add xml depth (of 2 plus levels) by modifying the parsedXML array.
<?
// here's the raw html
$xmlRaw="<order>Order data</order><label>Label data</label><control>123</control>";
// here are the xml field names
$xmlFieldNames=array("order", "label", "control");
// for each xml field...
foreach ($xmlFieldNames as $xmlField) {
if(strpos($xmlRaw,$xmlField)!==false){
// I've broken 1 single line into 4 for display purposes
$parsedXML[$xmlField]=substr($xmlRaw,
strpos($xmlRaw,"<$xmlField>")+strlen("<$xmlField>"),
strpos($xmlRaw,"</$xmlField>")-strlen("<$xmlField>")
-strpos($xmlRaw,"<$xmlField>"));
}
}
print_r($parsedXML);
// prints: Array ( [order] => Order data [label] => Label data [control] => 123 )
?>
Hope you find this useful (coded it while ill in bed with streaming cold, but felt much better afterwards!)

Just improving a little bit on the code examples from tgrabietz and randlem below... everything in one pretty class, plus some checks in place so that the element data doesnt get split up (thanks to flobee on the xml_set_character_data_handler page)
<?php
/* Usage
Grab some XML data, either from a file, URL, etc. however you want. Assume storage in $strYourXML;
$objXML = new xml2Array();
$arrOutput = $objXML->parse($strYourXML);
print_r($arrOutput); //print it out, or do whatever!
*/
class xml2Array {
var $arrOutput = array();
var $resParser;
var $strXmlData;
function parse($strInputXML) {
$this->resParser = xml_parser_create ();
xml_set_object($this->resParser,$this);
xml_set_element_handler($this->resParser, "tagOpen", "tagClosed");
xml_set_character_data_handler($this->resParser, "tagData");
$this->strXmlData = xml_parse($this->resParser,$strInputXML );
if(!$this->strXmlData) {
die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",
xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($this->resParser)),
xml_get_current_line_number($this->resParser)));
}
xml_parser_free($this->resParser);
return $this->arrOutput;
}
function tagOpen($parser, $name, $attrs) {
$tag=array("name"=>$name,"attrs"=>$attrs);
array_push($this->arrOutput,$tag);
}
function tagData($parser, $tagData) {
if(trim($tagData)) {
if(isset($this->arrOutput[count($this->arrOutput)-1]['tagData'])) {
$this->arrOutput[count($this->arrOutput)-1]['tagData'] .= $tagData;
}
else {
$this->arrOutput[count($this->arrOutput)-1]['tagData'] = $tagData;
}
}
}
function tagClosed($parser, $name) {
$this->arrOutput[count($this->arrOutput)-2]['children'][] = $this->arrOutput[count($this->arrOutput)-1];
array_pop($this->arrOutput);
}
}
?>
Will output something like...
<snippet>
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[name] => GETMESSAGESRESPONSE
[attrs] => Array
(
)
[children] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[name] => STATUS
[attrs] => Array
(
)
)

Due to restrictions in libxml2 the maximum length of $data is 9.5MB. If you need to process more than 9.5MB you can do so by calling the function multiple times and setting $is_final on the last call.

One note about magic quotes: magic_quotes_runtime needs to be disabled before parsing XML. It can cause strange errors during parsing. Just add the following at the top of your program:
set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);
If you need magic quotes you can use stripslashes or save the current magic quotes setting with get_magic_quotes_runtime() then disable and parse your XML and then restore the previous magic quotes setting.

it's like randlem at gmail dot com's great code, without using a "class container" but parsing cdata. The script returns the tree-structure in a single array.
<?php
$file = 'simple.xml';
$stack = array();
function startTag($parser, $name, $attrs)
{
global $stack;
$tag=array("name"=>$name,"attrs"=>$attrs);
array_push($stack,$tag);
}
function cdata($parser, $cdata)
{
global $stack,$i;
if(trim($cdata))
{
$stack[count($stack)-1]['cdata']=$cdata;
}
}
function endTag($parser, $name)
{
global $stack;
$stack[count($stack)-2]['children'][] = $stack[count($stack)-1];
array_pop($stack);
}
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startTag", "endTag");
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "cdata");
$data = xml_parse($xml_parser,file_get_contents($file));
if(!$data) {
die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",
xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),
xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));
}
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
print("<pre>\n");
print_r($stack);
print("</pre>\n");

Here is my array2xml function. I made it because I coudn't find a generic recursive function that generates a prety formatted XML from any array.
Usage:
<?php echo xml2array('rootname',$myarray); ?>
or if you want to specify a spacing character(s) other than TAB:
<?php echo xml2array('rootname',$myarray,' '); ?>
or if you want avoid spacing at all
<?php echo xml2array('rootname',$myarray,''); ?>
<?php
function array2xml($nombre,$valor,$tab="\t",$nivel=0){
if ($nivel==0) $r='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>';
$arr=!is_numeric($nombre);
$spacing=str_repeat($tab,$nivel);
if ($tab!='') $newline="\n";
else $newline='';
if (is_array($valor)){
if (count($valor)>0){
$r.=$newline;
//$r.=str_repeat($tab,$nivel);
foreach($valor as $k=>$v){
if ($arr) $r.="$spacing<$nombre>";
if (is_array($v)) $r.=array2xml($k,$v,$tab,$nivel+$arr);
else $r.="$spacing<$k>$v</$k>$newline";
if ($arr) $r.="$spacing</$nombre>$newline";
}//foreach
}//count
else $r.="$spacing<$nombre></$nombre>"; // it's an empty array
}
else {
if ($arr) $r.="$spacing<$nombre>";
$r.=$valor;
if ($arr) $r.="</$nombre>$newline";
}
return $r;
}
?>

This page has been a great help! I've adapted the examples below to make a class to parse an X(HT)ML file to a multidimensional array.
Spaces, tabs, breaks, etc. are included in the array as TEXT_NODE, since in XHTML they may be functional. A function to trim them can easily be added if so desired.
I've written my class to store multiple tags with the same name. In order to do this I've used nested arrays with the key NODES to store the order in which tags and data were parsed. These NODES arrays can be used as a blueprint to reconstruct the X(HT)ML part of the document in it's entirity, including formatting. (Doctype will have to be added for validity).
<?php
class my_xml_object {
var $xml_data; # raw xml data from file
function parse_xml_file($my_uri) {
$this->xml_data = null; # clear previously parsed file and related variables
if (is_file($my_uri) && is_readable($my_uri)) { # existing and readable uri?
$my_file = fopen($my_uri, "r");
while($my_xml_input = fread($my_file, filesize($my_uri))) {
$this->xml_data .= $my_xml_input; # add data to xml_data
}
fclose($my_file);
$this->parse_xml_data($this->xml_data); # parse data
} else {
trigger_error("supplied argument is not a URI to a (readable) file", E_USER_ERROR);
}
}
var $xml_array = Array(); # xml array from parsed data
function parse_xml_data($my_data) { # adapted from class by randlem@gmail.com, tgrabietz@bupnet.de, bbellwfu@gmail.com, Kyle Bresin - see http://nl2.php.net/xml_parse
$this->xml_array = Array(0 => Array()); # clear previously parsed file and related variables; populate first element
$my_parser = xml_parser_create(); # set up parser
xml_set_object($my_parser, $this); # enable parser within object
xml_set_element_handler($my_parser, "xml_tag_open", "xml_tag_close");
xml_set_character_data_handler($my_parser, "xml_tag_data");
if (!xml_parse($my_parser, $my_data)) {
trigger_error("data can not be parsed", E_USER_ERROR); # inspect problems #die(sprintf("<br />\n<b>Error</b>: %s on line <b>%d</b><br />\n", xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($my_parser)), xml_get_current_line_number($my_parser)));
}
xml_parser_free($my_parser); # free parser
return $this->xml_array; # return xml array
}
var $my_branch = Array();
function xml_tag_open($my_parser, $my_name, $my_attributes) {
array_push($this->my_branch, $my_name); # add tag name to branch
$this->xml_array[] = Array(); # nest array in xml array for data
if (count($my_attributes)) {
$this->xml_array[count($this->xml_array) - 1]["ATTRIBUTES"] = $my_attributes; # nest attributes array
}
}
function xml_tag_data($my_parser, $my_data) {
$this->xml_array[count($this->my_branch)]["TEXT_NODE"][] = $my_data; # add data to nested array
$this->xml_array[count($this->my_branch)]["NODES"][] = "TEXT_NODE"; # add text node to nested NODES array
}
function xml_tag_close($my_parser, $my_name) {
$this->xml_array[count($this->my_branch) - 1][$this->my_branch[count($this->my_branch) - 1]][] = $this->xml_array[count($this->xml_array) - 1]; # nest arrays to follow document structure
array_pop($this->xml_array); # pop off element that was nested
$this->xml_array[count($this->my_branch) - 1]["NODES"][] = $my_name; # add tag node to nested NODES array
array_pop($this->my_branch); # update branch
}

I've created a parser that returns an
object based on a xml document.
example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<country name="sweden">
<city name="stockholm">
<user>Adam</user>
<user>Eve</user>
</city>
<city name="g?teborg">
<user>God</user>
</city>
</country>
<country name="usa">
<city name="new york">
<user>Clinton</user>
<user>Bush</user>
</city>
</country>
generates the following object structure:
[country] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[name] => sweden
[city] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[name] => stockholm
[user] => Array
(
[0] => Adam
[1] => Eve
)
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[name] => g?teborg
[user] => God
)
)
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[name] => usa
[city] => stdClass
(
[name] => new york
[user] => Array
(
[0] => Clinton
[1] => Bush
)
)
)
)
Here is the code:
class XMLParser {
var $path;
var $result;
function XMLParser($encoding, $data) {
$this->path = "\$this->result";
$this->index = 0;
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create($encoding);
xml_set_object($xml_parser, &$this);
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, 'startElement', 'endElement');
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, 'characterData');
xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, true);
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
}
function startElement($parser, $tag, $attributeList) {
eval("\$vars = get_object_vars(".$this->path.");");
$this->path .= "->".$tag;
if ($vars and array_key_exists($tag, $vars)) {
eval("\$data = ".$this->path.";");
if (is_array($data)) {
$index = sizeof($data);
$this->path .= "[".$index."]";
} else if (is_object($data)) {
eval($this->path." = array(".$this->path.");");
$this->path .= "[1]";
}
}
eval($this->path." = null;");
foreach($attributeList as $name => $value)
eval($this->path."->".$name. " = '".XMLParser::cleanString($value)."';");
}
function endElement($parser, $tag) {
$this->path = substr($this->path, 0, strrpos($this->path, "->"));
}
function characterData($parser, $data) {
eval($this->path." = '".trim($data)."';");
}
}
enjoy! And please make it better if you can ;-)

hi,
i've modified bbellwfu at gmail dot com to as below:
features added:
- toXML (convert back array to xml string)
- changed name, according to macromedia flash xml concept : children -> childrens, tagdata -> nodevalue, name -> nodename,
- added pointer firstchild to childrens[0] (if exists)
some findings that i would like to share:
- <![cdata[my value here]]> (does not work on property value
- xml file must be htmlentity based (if not using cdata)
- xml line feed on node data seems to be double line feed on windows (still figuring why)
- xml line feed on attribute value seems to be ignored...
here's my code below :)
class u007xml
{
var $arrOutput = array();
var $resParser;

Here's a handy way to generate a tree that can be can be decended easily.
<?php
$file = 'xmltest.xml';
$tag_tree = array();
$stack = array();
class tag {
var $name;
var $attrs;
var $children;
function tag($name, $attrs, $children) {
$this->name = $name;
$this->attrs = $attrs;
$this->children = $children;
}
}
function startTag($parser, $name, $attrs) {
global $tag_tree, $stack;
$tag = new tag($name,$attrs,'');
array_push($stack,$tag);
}
function endTag($parser, $name) {
global $stack;
$stack[count($stack)-2]->children[] = $stack[count($stack)-1];
array_pop($stack);
}
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startTag", "endTag");
$data = xml_parse($xml_parser,file_get_contents($file));
if(!$data) {
die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",
xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),
xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));
}
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
print("\n");
print_r($stack);
print("\n");
?>
