sure, just loop through your array.

it would help to know what the array looks like though.

 

Here the just of what you need to do...

 

<?php
$myArray['dimension1']['part1'][key1] = "some Value";
$myArray['dimension1']['part1'][key2] = "some Value";
$myArray['dimension1']['part2'][key1] = "some Value";


foreach($myArray as $dimension => $part){ ?>

< <?php echo $dimension ?> >
< <?php echo part ?>

<?php  foreach($part as $key => $value){ ?>
   < <?php echo key ?> > <?php echo value ?></ <?php echo key ?> >
  }
</ <?php echo dimension ?> >
</ <?php echo part ?> >

<?php } ?>

well,it is not so easy as it seems because I dont´t know the array,I need something general

If you dont know the array then how can anyone possible script somthing for you?

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
