Re: XML to Array

Hi,
use https://github.com/theseer/fDOMDocument. You can install it over
PEAR. You can use it like

$xml = '<xml><root><test id="my_id" />';
$dom = new fDOMDocument();
$dom->loadXML($xml);

// get attribute
$elementNode = $dom->queryOne('//test[@id="my_id"]');
echo $elementNode->nodeValue;


Greetings

Carlos Medina
