Code to convert an array to xml?

[Anon]

Hi ..

I want to convert an array (of any depth) to xml. is there somewhere code i can use? couldn't find something on the net.. 🙁

e.g.

i have something like

$a = array( first => array ( second => "value",
third = array ( fourth = "value")));

and i want to get something like:

<first>
<second>value</second>
<third>
<fourth>value</fourth>
</third>
</first>

Thank you 🙂

Well then.. help yourself 🙂
if anyone wonders how to convert array to xml.. try this:

$a = array("first", "second", "third" => "doof", "fourth", "fifth" => array("fifth.first", "fifth.second" => "value"), "sixth");

$index = 0;
$xml = new_xmldoc("1.0");
$root = $xml->add_root("myRoot");

function arrayfraese ($a, $node) {
global $index, $nodecache;
foreach ($a as $key => $value) {
if (is_int($key)) {
// numerical array
if (is_array($value)) {
// something went wrong!
echo "unsupported construct";
exit;
} else {
$node->new_child($value, null);
}

       } else {
           // associative array
           if (is_array($value)) { 
              $nodecache[$index] = $node;
              $index++;
              $key = preg_replace('/_*$/', "", $key);
              $mynode =& $node->new_child($key, null);
              arrayfraese($value, $mynode);
              $index--;
              $node = $nodecache[$index];
           } else {
              $node->new_child($key, $value);
           }
       }
   }

}

arrayFraese($a, $root);
echo "<br/>";
print htmlentities($xml->dumpmem());
?>

What about reverse conversion - xml to array?
