Php Array var how can I brake it apart?

[Mancent]

 

This is a Facebook var that give the basic information of the user. like userID the picture names and crap.

I'm wanting to take the array and brake it apart so i can use xml with it.

 

$test_array = array ($user_profile);
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<root/>');
array_walk_recursive($test_array, array ($xml, 'addChild'));
print $xml->asXML(); 

 

the $user_profile var gives all the information.

 

but when it echos out of the php it echos backwards.

I need to flip it somehow any ideas.

 

This is what i mean when I say backwards.

 

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<root>
<100000215611178>id</100000215611178>
<Rob Puckett>name</Rob Puckett>
<Rob>first_name</Rob>
<Puckett>last_name</Puckett>
<//www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000215611178>link<///www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000215611178>
<115250758498809>id</115250758498809>
<WCHS>name</WCHS>
<139539632730771>id</139539632730771>
<1972>name</1972>
<High School>type</High School>
<male>gender</male>
<-4>timezone</-4>
<en_US>locale</en_US>
<1>verified</1>
<02:34+0000>updated_time</02:34+0000>
</root> 

 

you see how it is backwards? how can I flip it so its like this.

 

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<root>
<id>100000215611178</id>
<name>Rob Puckett</name>
<first_name>Rob</first_name>
<last_name>Puckett</last_name></root>

This isn't RegEx, (I realize now it was a silly mod move) but anyhoo

 

<?php 

$profile = array(
'id' => '100000215611178',
'name' => 'Rob Puckett',
'first_name' => 'Rob',
'last_name' => 'Puckett',
'link' => 'http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000215611178',
'education' => array(
	'school' => array(
		'id' => '115250758498809',
		'name' => 'WCHS',
	),
	'year' => array(
		'id' => '139539632730771',
		'name' => '1972'
	),
	'type' => 'High School'
),
'gender' => 'male',
'timezone' => '-4',
'locale' => 'en_US',
'verified' => '1',
'updated_time' => '2011-07-28T11:02:34+0000'
);

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<root/>');

arrayToXML( $xml, $profile );

echo $xml->asXML();

function arrayToXML( SimpleXMLElement &$xml, $array ) {
foreach( $array as $name => $value ) {
	if( !is_array($value) )
		$xml->addChild( $name, $value );
	else {
		$child = $xml->addChild( $name );
		arrayToXML( $child, $value );
	}
}
}

?>

 

Outputs

Ya I cant get it working like this. I only have this one var to work with

 

$user_profile

and if i <pre><?php print_r $user_profile ?> </pre>

I can see the array layout.

 

if ($user) {
  try {
    // Proceed knowing you have a logged in user who's authenticated.
    $user_profile = $facebook->api('/me');
  } catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
    error_log($e);
    $user = null;
  }
}

// Login or logout url will be needed depending on current user state.
if ($user) {
  $logoutUrl = $facebook->getLogoutUrl();
} else {
  $loginUrl = $facebook->getLoginUrl();
}





$profile = array ($user_profile); <----------------------Get a error here!
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<root/>');



arrayToXML( $xml, $profile );

echo $xml->asXML();

function arrayToXML( SimpleXMLElement &$xml, $array ) {
foreach( $array as $name => $value ) {
	if( !is_array($value) )
		$xml->addChild( $name, $value );
	else {
		$child = $xml->addChild( $name );
		arrayToXML( $child, $value );
	}
}
}
