Hi Barand, Really appreciate your help on this one. Now I have the array in some form I need, I just need to split down based on market type to then do an sort on it. This has left me with something to go off. Many Thanks!

Hi, appreciate the answer! Looks like its going to send me in the right direction. Just wondering what I set "$_xml_string" as?

Hi Barand, Totally agree with your comment there and apologies! If I could have edited my original post I would have added a couple of things, Such as my actual PHP code. An example of the XML feed is here My current PHP code looks like : foreach($array->Outcome as $outcome) { $outcometypes = $outcome->attributes(); $outcomename = $outcometypes['name']; foreach($outcome->Bookmaker as $bookmaker) { $bookmakers = $bookmaker->attributes(); $bookmaker_name = $bookmaker['name']; // Replace Spaces, William Hill Now = WilliamHill $bookmaker_name = str_replace( ' ', '', $bookmaker_name); foreach($bookmaker->Odds as $odds) { $odds_types = $odds->attributes(); $currentprice = $odds_types['currentPrice']; $decimalprice = $this->convert_decimal($currentprice); $odds_types->addAttribute('decimal', $decimalprice); foreach($odds_types['bet'] as $bet) { } } } } Thank You!

Hi, I am working on a betting API, The data comes from an XML Feed. I am using a PHPPhar file to iterate the XML data, Seems to work really well. What I need to do now is iterate each "outcome" type and order it by the highest decimal to lowest decimal value (Best odds) My current array of data from the XML looks like this (See pastebin for full version) : SimpleXMLElement Object ( [Outcome] => Array ( [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 1 [name] => 1X2 ) [Bookmaker] => Array ( [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 8 [name] => Bet365 [isLive] => false [lastUpdate] => 2015-01-15T04:17:03 [bookieEventID] => [bookieLeagueID] => [BookieOfferTypeID] => 40 ) [Odds] => Array ( [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 10026743121640944 [bet] => 1 [startPrice] => 9/2 [currentPrice] => 5/1 [line] => [LastUpdate] => 2015-01-15T04:17:03 [bookieOutcomeID] => [Status] => Open ) ) [1] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 10026743131640944 [bet] => 2 [startPrice] => 31/50 [currentPrice] => 57/100 [line] => [LastUpdate] => 2015-01-15T04:17:03 [bookieOutcomeID] => [Status] => Open ) ) [2] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 10026743511640944 [bet] => X [startPrice] => 11/4 [currentPrice] => 3/1 [line] => [LastUpdate] => 2015-01-14T17:55:48 [bookieOutcomeID] => [Status] => Open ) ) ) )[1] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 2 [name] => Under/Over ) [Bookmaker] => Array ( [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 8 [name] => Bet365 [isLive] => false [lastUpdate] => 2015-01-15T15:25:31 [bookieEventID] => [bookieLeagueID] => [BookieOfferTypeID] => 981 ) [Odds] => Array ( [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 14185280871640944 [bet] => Over [startPrice] => 1/20 [currentPrice] => 3/50 [line] => 0.5 [LastUpdate] => 2015-01-15T15:15:14 [bookieOutcomeID] => [Status] => Open ) ) [1] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 8219239561640944 [bet] => Over [startPrice] => 9/50 [currentPrice] => 1/5 [line] => 1.25 [LastUpdate] => 2015-01-15T08:30:43 [bookieOutcomeID] => [Status] => Open ) ) [2] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 13305582441640944 [bet] => Over [startPrice] => 29/100 [currentPrice] => 8/25 [line] => 1.5 [LastUpdate] => 2015-01-15T15:25:31 [bookieOutcomeID] => [Status] => Open ) ) [3] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 15814388431640944 [bet] => Over [startPrice] => 7/20 [currentPrice] => 2/5 [line] => 1.75 [LastUpdate] => 2015-01-15T08:30:43 [bookieOutcomeID] => [Status] => Open ) ) [4] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 9542253841640944 [bet] => Over [startPrice] => 9/20 [currentPrice] => 13/25 [line] => 2.0 [LastUpdate] => 2015-01-15T08:53:07 [bookieOutcomeID] => [Status] => Open ) ) [5] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 18435608691640944 [bet] => Over [startPrice] => 17/25 [currentPrice] => 77/100 [line] => 2.25 [LastUpdate] => 2015-01-15T08:53:07 [bookieOutcomeID] => [Status] => Open ) )[2] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 17 [name] => Both Teams To Score ) [Bookmaker] => Array ( [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 8 [name] => Bet365 [isLive] => false [lastUpdate] => 2015-01-14T17:55:48 [bookieEventID] => [bookieLeagueID] => [BookieOfferTypeID] => 10150 ) [Odds] => Array ( [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 14294083431640944 [bet] => No [startPrice] => 83/100 [currentPrice] => 73/100 [line] => [LastUpdate] => 2015-01-14T17:55:48 [bookieOutcomeID] => [Status] => Open ) ) [1] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 18070790851640944 [bet] => Yes [startPrice] => 83/100 [currentPrice] => 1/1 [line] => [LastUpdate] => 2015-01-14T17:55:48 [bookieOutcomeID] => [Status] => Open ) ) ) ) [1] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 31 [name] => William Hill [isLive] => false [lastUpdate] => 2015-01-15T15:58:30 [bookieEventID] => [bookieLeagueID] => [BookieOfferTypeID] => 226344747 ) [Odds] => Array ( [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 11341591031640944 [bet] => No [startPrice] => 73/100 [currentPrice] => 67/100 [line] => [LastUpdate] => 2015-01-15T15:58:30 [bookieOutcomeID] => [Status] => Open ) ) [1] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 10996680931640944 [bet] => Yes [startPrice] => 1/1 [currentPrice] => 11/10 [line] => [LastUpdate] => 2015-01-15T15:58:30 [bookieOutcomeID] => [Status] => Open ) ) ) ) Is it possible build an array of outcomes, Then sort by the best decimal price. (I have a function built that can convert the "currentPrice" to decimal. Thnak You!
