xml to array

[vbnullchar]

i need to convert this xml to an array

 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<addressBook>
<contact>
<guid>739537250f3146d1968372f982d0fa71</guid>
<email>aborja@abc.com.ph</email>
<fullName>aaaaaaa</fullName>
</contact>
<contact>
<guid>c62a7f3e5d8b48a68cbf0d26999c27f4</guid>
<email>agomez@abc.com.ph</email>
<fullName>bbbbb</fullName>
</contact>
</addressBook>

 

something like this

 

addressbook=array(
contact[0]=array('fullName'=>'aaaaaa', 'guid'=>'739537250f3146d1968372f982d0fa71','email'=>'aborja@abc.com.ph' ),
contact[1]=array('fullName'=>'bbbbbb', 'guid'=>'739537250f3146d1968372f982d0fa71','email'=>'aborja@abc.com.ph' ),
);

To get it into that type of a form above it would require your own algorithm. Instead of doing that since you are using PHP5, I suggest looking into simplexml. It may solve your problem.

Already have this done

 

<?php

class xml {
     
     private $url;
     public $data; 
     private $vals;
     private $debug = false;
     
     public function __construct($url) {
         $this->url  = $url;
         $xml = file_get_contents($url);
         $data = $this->xml2array($xml);
         $this->data = $data;
         if ($this->debug) {
             print "<pre>";
             print_r($data);
         }
     }
     
     private function &last(&$array){
        if (!count($array))
            return null;
        end($array);
        return $array[key($array)];
    }
     
     private function parsexml(&$vals, &$dom, &$lev){
        do {
            $curr = current($vals);
            $lev = $curr['level'];
            $tag = strtolower($curr['tag']);
            switch ($curr['type'])
            {
                case 'open':
                    if (!isset($dom[$tag]))
                        $dom[$tag] = array();
                    array_push($dom[$tag], array());
                    $new =& $this->last($dom[$tag]);
                    next($vals);
                    $this->parsexml(&$vals, $new, $lev);
                    break;
            
            case 'cdata':
                break;
            
            case 'complete':
                if (!isset($dom[$tag]))
                    $dom[$tag] = $curr['value'];
                else
                    array_push($dom[$tag] , $curr['value']);
                break;
                
            case 'close':
                return;
            }
        }
        while (next($vals)!==FALSE);
    }

    private function xml2array($xml){
        $xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
        xml_parse_into_struct($xml_parser, $xml, $vals);
        xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
        reset($vals);
        $dom = array();
        $lev = 0;
        $this->parsexml($vals, $dom, $lev);
        return $dom;
    }

}

?>

 

Good luck
