另一个改进:

/**
* Converts an array to XML
*
* @param array $array
* @param SimpleXMLElement $xml
* @param string $child_name
*
* @return SimpleXMLElement $xml
*/
public function arrayToXML($array, SimpleXMLElement $xml, $child_name)
{
    foreach ($array as $k => $v) {
        if(is_array($v)) {
            (is_int($k)) ? $this->arrayToXML($v, $xml->addChild($child_name), $v) : $this->arrayToXML($v, $xml->addChild(strtolower($k)), $child_name);
        } else {
            (is_int($k)) ? $xml->addChild($child_name, $v) : $xml->addChild(strtolower($k), $v);
        }
    }

    return $xml->asXML();
}

用法:

$this->arrayToXML($array, new SimpleXMLElement('<root/>'), 'child_name_to_replace_numeric_integers');

<?php
function array_to_xml(array $arr, SimpleXMLElement $xml)
{
    foreach ($arr as $k => $v) {
        is_array($v)
            ? array_to_xml($v, $xml->addChild($k))
            : $xml->addChild($k, $v);
    }
    return $xml;
}

$test_array = array (
    'bla' => 'blub',
    'foo' => 'bar',
    'another_array' => array (
        'stack' => 'overflow',
    ),
);

echo array_to_xml($test_array, new SimpleXMLElement('<root/>'))->asXML();

下面是php 5.2代码，将数组的任何深度转换为xml文档:

Array
(
    ['total_stud']=> 500
    [0] => Array
        (
            [student] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 1
                    [name] => abc
                    [address] => Array
                        (
                            [city]=>Pune
                            [zip]=>411006
                        )                       
                )
        )
    [1] => Array
        (
            [student] => Array
                (
                    [id] => 2
                    [name] => xyz
                    [address] => Array
                        (
                            [city]=>Mumbai
                            [zip]=>400906
                        )   
                )

        )
)

生成的XML如下所示:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<student_info>
    <total_stud>500</total_stud>
    <student>
        <id>1</id>
        <name>abc</name>
        <address>
            <city>Pune</city>
            <zip>411006</zip>
        </address>
    </student>
    <student>
        <id>1</id>
        <name>abc</name>
        <address>
            <city>Mumbai</city>
            <zip>400906</zip>
        </address>
    </student>
</student_info>

PHP代码片段

<?php
// function defination to convert array to xml
function array_to_xml( $data, &$xml_data ) {
    foreach( $data as $key => $value ) {
        if( is_array($value) ) {
            if( is_numeric($key) ){
                $key = 'item'.$key; //dealing with <0/>..<n/> issues
            }
            $subnode = $xml_data->addChild($key);
            array_to_xml($value, $subnode);
        } else {
            $xml_data->addChild("$key",htmlspecialchars("$value"));
        }
     }
}

// initializing or creating array
$data = array('total_stud' => 500);

// creating object of SimpleXMLElement
$xml_data = new SimpleXMLElement('<?xml version="1.0"?><data></data>');

// function call to convert array to xml
array_to_xml($data,$xml_data);

//saving generated xml file; 
$result = $xml_data->asXML('/file/path/name.xml');

?>

本代码段中使用的SimpleXMLElement::asXML文档

您可以使用我一直在研究的XMLParser。

$xml = XMLParser::encode(array(
    'bla' => 'blub',
    'foo' => 'bar',
    'another_array' => array (
        'stack' => 'overflow',
    )
));
// @$xml instanceof SimpleXMLElement
echo $xml->asXML();

会导致:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
    <bla>blub</bla>
    <foo>bar</foo>
    <another_array>
        <stack>overflow</stack>
    </another_array>
</root>

这里提供的答案仅将数组转换为带节点的XML，不能设置属性。我已经编写了一个php函数，允许您将数组转换为php，并为xml中的特定节点设置属性。这里的缺点是您必须以很少约定的特定方式构造数组(仅当您想使用属性时)

下面的示例也允许您用XML设置属性。

<?php    
$books = array(
    '@attributes' => array(
        'type' => 'fiction'
    ),
    'book' => array(
        array(
            '@attributes' => array(
                'author' => 'George Orwell'
            ),
            'title' => '1984'

                'author' => 'Isaac Asimov'
            ),
            'title' => 'Foundation',
            'price' => '$15.61'
        ),
        array(
            '@attributes' => array(
                'author' => 'Robert A Heinlein'
            ),

使用FluidXML，您可以从一个PHP数组开始，生成一个用于SimpleXML的XML…只有两行代码。

$fluidxml  = fluidxml($array);
$simplexml = simplexml_import_dom($fluidxml->dom());

一个示例数组可以是

$array = [ 'doc' => [
              'fruit' => 'orange',
              'cake'  => [
                   '@id' => '123', 
                   '@'   => 'tiramisu' ],
              [ 'pasta' => 'matriciana' ],
              [ 'pasta' => 'boscaiola'  ]
] ];
