I can´t attach any file so I write here the xml file and the code that converts it into a multidemensional array.The goal is convert the array into an xml file again.
The xml file:
<config>
<objects>
<object id="absence" gad="1/1/60" init="request">Absence</object>
<object id="alarm_active" init="on">Alarme activée</object>
<object id="ecl_escalier" gad="1/1/6">Eclairage Escalier
<listener gad="1/1/206"/>
</object>
<object id="status_ecl_escalier" gad="1/1/206">Eclairage Escalier (status feedback)</object>
</objects>
<rules>
<rule id="cur_time_date">
<condition type="timer" trigger="true">
<every>3600</every>
</condition>
<actionlist>
<action type="set-value" id="cur_time" value="now" />
<action type="set-value" id="cur_date" value="now" />
</actionlist>
</rule>
</rules>
</config>
And this the code that converts it into an array:
function xmlToarray($contents,$get_attributes=1) {
if(!$contents) return array();
if(!function_exists('xml_parser_create')) {
//print "'xml_parser_create()' function not found!";
return array();
}
//Obtiene el parser XML de PHP
$parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_parser_set_option( $parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, 0 );
xml_parser_set_option( $parser, XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE, 1 );
xml_parse_into_struct( $parser, $contents, $xml_values );
xml_parser_free( $parser );
if(!$xml_values) return;
$xml_array = array();
$parents = array();
$opened_tags = array();
$arr = array();
$current = &$xml_array;
//Recorre los tags
foreach($xml_values as $data) {
unset($attributes,$value);//Borra los valores existentes
//This command will extract these variables into the foreach scope
// tag(string), type(string), level(int), attributes(array).
extract($data);//We could use the array by itself, but this cooler.
$result = '';
if($get_attributes) {//El segundo argumento de la función decide ésto.
$result = array();
if(isset($value)) $result['value'] = $value;
//Establece los atributos
if(isset($attributes)) {
foreach($attributes as $attr => $val) {
if($get_attributes == 1) $result[$attr] = $val; //Set all the attributes in a array called 'attr'
/** :TODO: should we change the key name to '_attr'? Someone may use the tagname 'attr'. Same goes for 'value' too */
}
}
} elseif(isset($value)) {
$result = $value;
}
//Ve el estado del tag y hace lo necesario
if($type == "open") {//Comienzo del tag '<tag>'
$parent[$level-1] = &$current;
if(!is_array($current) or (!in_array($tag, array_keys($current)))) { //Introducimos nuevo tag
$current[$tag] = $result;
$current = &$current[$tag];
} else { //Había otro elemento con el mismo nombre del tag
if(isset($current[$tag][0])) {
array_push($current[$tag], $result);
} else {
$current[$tag] = array($current[$tag],$result);
}
$last = count($current[$tag]) - 1;
$current = &$current[$tag][$last];
}
} elseif($type == "complete") { //Tags que acaban en una línea '<tag />'
//Comprueba si la clave se ha cogido ya
if(!isset($current[$tag])) { //Nueva clave
$current[$tag] = $result;
} else { //If taken, put all things inside a list(array)
if((is_array($current[$tag]) and $get_attributes == 0)//Si es ya un array...
or (isset($current[$tag][0]) and is_array($current[$tag][0]) and $get_attributes == 1)) {
array_push($current[$tag],$result); // ...mete el nuevo elemento en el array.
} else { //Si no es un array...
$current[$tag] = array($current[$tag],$result); //...Crea un array usando el valor existente y el nuevo
}
}
} elseif($type == 'close') { //final del tag '</tag>'
$current = &$parent[$level-1];
}
}
return($xml_array);
}
?>
Thanks
