Php 如何将数组转换为SimpleXML

如何在PHP中将数组转换为SimpleXML对象？

如果数组是关联的，并且键入正确，那么首先将其转换为xml可能会更容易。比如：

  function array2xml ($array_item) {
    $xml = '';
    foreach($array_item as $element => $value)
    {
        if (is_array($value))
        {
            $xml .= "<$element>".array2xml($value)."</$element>";
        }
        elseif($value == '')
        {
            $xml .= "<$element />";
        }
        else
        {
            $xml .= "<$element>".htmlentities($value)."</$element>";
        }
    }
    return $xml;
}

$simple_xml = simplexml_load_string(array2xml($assoc_array));

函数array2xml（$array\u项）{
$xml=''；
foreach（$array\u项为$element=>$value）
{
if（是_数组（$value））
{
$xml.=“”.array2xml（$value）。“”；
}
elseif（$value=''）
{
$xml.=“”；
}
其他的
{
$xml.=''.htmlentities（$value.）；
}
}
返回$xml；
}
$simple_xml=simplexml_load_字符串（array2xml（$assoc_数组））；

另一种方法是首先创建基本的xml，如

$simple_xml = simplexml_load_string("<array></array>");

$simple\u xml=simplexml\u load\u字符串（“”）；

然后，对于数组的每个部分，使用类似于我的文本创建循环的方法，而是对数组的每个节点使用simplexml函数“addChild”

稍后我将尝试使用这两个版本更新此帖子。

一个简短的版本：

<?php

$test_array = array (
  'bla' => 'blub',
  'foo' => 'bar',
  'another_array' => array (
    'stack' => 'overflow',
  ),
);
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<root/>');
array_walk_recursive($test_array, array ($xml, 'addChild'));
print $xml->asXML();

键和值交换-您可以在数组遍历之前使用

array\u flip（）

修复这一问题

array\u walk\u recursive

需要PHP5。您可以使用

array\u walk

，但在xml中不会出现

'stack'=>'overflow'

。

如果详细的xml不是问题，您可以使用xmlrpc\u encode从数组创建xml。

如果使用关联键和/或数字键，请注意创建的xml不同

<?php
// /params/param/value/struct/member
// there is a tag "member" for each element
// "member" contains a tag "name". its value is the associative key
$xml1 = xmlrpc_encode(array('a'=>'b','c'=>'d'));
$simplexml1 = simplexml_load_string($xml1);
print_r($xml1);
print_r($simplexml1);

// /params/param/value/array/data
// there is a tag "data" for each element
// "data" doesn't contain the tag "name"
$xml2 = xmlrpc_encode(array('a','b'));
$simplexml2 = simplexml_load_string($xml2);
print_r($xml2);
print_r($simplexml2);
?>

以下是php 5.2代码，它将把任意深度的数组转换为xml文档：

Array
(
    ['total_stud']=> 500
    [0] => Array
        (
            [student] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 1
                    [name] => abc
                    [address] => Array
                        (
                            [city]=>Pune
                            [zip]=>411006
                        )                       
                )
        )
    [1] => Array
        (
            [student] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 2
                    [name] => xyz
                    [address] => Array
                        (
                            [city]=>Mumbai
                            [zip]=>400906
                        )   
                )

        )
)

生成的XML如下所示：


500
1.
abc
这是我的条目，简单明了

function array2xml($array, $xml = false){
    if($xml === false){
        $xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<root/>');
    }
    foreach($array as $key => $value){
        if(is_array($value)){
            array2xml($value, $xml->addChild($key));
        }else{
            $xml->addChild($key, $value);
        }
    }
    return $xml->asXML();
}


header('Content-type: text/xml');
print array2xml($array);

函数array2xml（$array，$xml=false）{
如果（$xml==false）{
$xml=新的SimpleXMLElement（“”）；
}
foreach（$key=>$value的数组）{
if（是_数组（$value））{
array2xml（$value，$xml->addChild（$key））；
}否则{
$xml->addChild（$key，$value）；
}
}
返回$xml->asXML（）；
}
标题（'Content-type:text/xml'）；
打印array2xml（$array）；
此处提供的答案仅将数组转换为带有节点的XML，您无法设置属性。我编写了一个php函数，它允许您将数组转换为php，并为xml中的特定节点设置属性。这里的缺点是，您必须使用很少的约定以特定的方式构造数组（仅当您想要使用属性时）

下面的示例也允许您在XML中设置属性

可在此处找到来源：

我使用我不久前编写的两个函数来生成xml，以便从PHP和jQuery等中来回传递。。。
既不使用任何其他框架，也不纯粹生成一个字符串，然后可以与SimpleXML（或其他框架）一起使用

如果它对任何人都有用，请使用它：）

函数generateXML（$tag_in、$value_in=“”、$attribute_in=“”）{
$return=“”；
$attributes_out=“”；
if（是_数组（$attribute_in））{
如果（计数（$attribute_in）！=0）{
foreach（$k=>v中的属性_）：
$attributes\u out.=''.$k.=\'.$v.“\'；
endforeach；
}
}
返回“：”>“$value_in.”；
}
函数arrayToXML（$array\u in）{
$return=“”；
$attributes=array（）；
foreach（$k=>v中的数组_）：
如果（$k[0]==“@”）{
//属性。。。
$attributes[str_replace（“@“，”，$k）]=$v；
}否则{
if（is_数组（$v））{
$return.=generateXML（$k，arrayToXML（$v），$attributes）；
$attributes=array（）；
}否则，如果（是_bool（$v））{
$return.=generateXML（$k，（$v==true）？“true”：“false”），$attributes）；
$attributes=array（）；
}否则{
$return.=generateXML（$k，$v，$attributes）；
$attributes=array（）；
}
}
endforeach；
return$return；
}

只需编辑上面的一个函数，当一个键是数字时，添加一个前缀“key”

//初始化或创建数组
$student_info=数组（您的数组数据）；
//创建SimpleXMLElement的对象
$xml\u student\u info=新的SimpleXMLElement（“”）；
//将数组转换为xml的函数调用
数组到xml（$student，$xml\u student\u info）；
//保存生成的xml文件
$xml_student_info->asXML（'file path and name'）；
函数数组到xml（$student\u info，&$xml\u student\u info）{
foreach（$key=>$value形式的学生信息）{
if（是_数组（$value））{
如果（！是数字（$key））{
$subnode=$xml\u student\u info->addChild（$key”）；
数组到xml（$value，$subnode）；
}
否则{
$subnode=$xml\u student\u info->addChild（“key\u$key”）；
数组到xml（$value，$subnode）；
}
}
否则{
如果（！是数字（$key））{
$xml\u student\u info->addChild（$key，“$value”）；
}否则{
$xml\u student\u info->addChild（“key\u$key”，“$value”）；
}
}
}
}
函数array2xml（$array，$xml=false）{
如果（$xml==false）{
$xml=新的SimpleXMLElement（“”）；
$array=$array[键（$array）]；
}
foreach（$key=>$value的数组）{
if（是_数组（$value））{
$this->array2xml（$value，$xml->addChild（$key））；
}否则{
$xml->addChild（$key，$value）；
}
}
返回$xml->asXML（）；
}
您可以直接在代码中使用以下函数

    function artoxml($arr, $i=1,$flag=false){
    $sp = "";
    for($j=0;$j<=$i;$j++){
        $sp.=" ";
     }
    foreach($arr as $key=>$val){
        echo "$sp&lt;".$key."&gt;";
        if($i==1) echo "\n";
        if(is_array($val)){
            if(!$flag){echo"\n";}
            artoxml($val,$i+5);
            echo "$sp&lt;/".$key."&gt;\n";
        }else{
              echo "$val"."&lt;/".$key."&gt;\n";
         }
    }

}

函数artoxml（$arr，$i=1，$flag=false）{
$sp=”“；
对于（$j=0；$j$val）{
回显“$sp”。$key.”；
如果（$i==1）回显“\n”；
if（is_数组（$val））{
如果（！$flag）{echo“\n”；}
artoxml（$val，$i+5）；
回显“$sp/”$key.\n”；
}否则{
<?xml version="1.0"?>

    <total_stud>500</total_stud>
    <student>
        <id>1</id>
