你可以使用胡子模板引擎，并制作一个模板，如:

{{#RECEIVER}}
<RECEIVER>
    <COMPANY>{{{COMPANY}}}</COMPANY>
    <CONTACT>{{{CONTACT}}}</CONTACT>
    <ADDRESS>{{{ADDRESS}}}</ADDRESS>
    <ZIP>{{ZIP}}</ZIP>
    <CITY>{{{CITY}}}</CITY>
</RECEIVER>
{{/RECEIVER}}
{{#DOC}}
<DOC>
    <TEXT>{{{TEXT}}}</TEXT>
    <NUMBER>{{{NUMBER}}}</NUMBER>
</DOC>
{{/DOC}}

在PHP中这样使用它:

require_once( __DIR__ .'/../controls/Mustache/Autoloader.php' );
Mustache_Autoloader::register();
$oMustache = new Mustache_Engine();
$sTemplate = implode( '', file( __DIR__ ."/xml.tpl" ));
$return = $oMustache->render($sTemplate, $res);
echo($return);

如果冗长的xml不成问题，可以使用xmlrpc_encode从数组创建xml。 www.php.net/xmlrpc_encode

注意，如果使用关联键和/或数字键，创建的XML会有所不同

<?php
// /params/param/value/struct/member
// there is a tag "member" for each element
// "member" contains a tag "name". its value is the associative key
$xml1 = xmlrpc_encode(array('a'=>'b','c'=>'d'));
$simplexml1 = simplexml_load_string($xml1);
print_r($xml1);
print_r($simplexml1);

// /params/param/value/array/data
// there is a tag "data" for each element
// "data" doesn't contain the tag "name"
$xml2 = xmlrpc_encode(array('a','b'));
$simplexml2 = simplexml_load_string($xml2);
print_r($xml2);
print_r($simplexml2);
?>

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

整个XML结构定义在$data数组中:

function array2Xml($data, $xml = null)
{
    if (is_null($xml)) {
        $xml = simplexml_load_string('<' . key($data) . '/>');
        $data = current($data);
        $return = true;
    }
    if (is_array($data)) {
        foreach ($data as $name => $value) {
            array2Xml($value, is_numeric($name) ? $xml : $xml->addChild($name));
        }
    } else {
        $xml->{0} = $data;
    }
    if (!empty($return)) {
        return $xml->asXML();
    }
}

如果你使用magento，你有这种类型的关联数组

$test_array = array (
    '0' => array (
            'category_id' => '582',
            'name' => 'Surat',
            'parent_id' => '565',
            'child_id' => '567',
            'active' => '1',
            'level' => '6',
            'position' => '17'
    ),

    '1' => array (
            'category_id' => '567', 
            'name' => 'test',
            'parent_id' => '0',
            'child_id' => '576',
            'active' => '0',
            'level' => '0',
            'position' => '18'
    ),
);

那么最好将关联数组转换为XML格式。在控制器文件中使用此代码。

$this->loadLayout(false);
//header ("content-type: text/xml");
$this->getResponse()->setHeader('Content-Type','text/xml');
$this->renderLayout();

$clArr2xml = new arr2xml($test_array, 'utf-8', 'listdata');
$output = $clArr2xml->get_xml();
print $output; 

class arr2xml
{
var $array = array();
var $xml = '';
var $root_name = '';
var $charset = '';

public function __construct($array, $charset = 'utf-8', $root_name = 'root')
{
    header ("content-type: text/xml");
    $this->array = $array;
    $this->root_name = $root_name;
    $this->charset = $charset;

    if (is_array($array) && count($array) > 0) {
        $this->struct_xml($array);

    } else {
        $this->xml .= "no data";
    }
}

public function struct_xml($array)
{
    foreach ($array as $k => $v) {
        if (is_array($v)) {
            $tag = ereg_replace('^[0-9]{1,}', 'item', $k); // replace numeric key in array to 'data'
            $this->xml .= "<$tag>";
            $this->struct_xml($v);
            $this->xml .= "</$tag>";
        } else {
            $tag = ereg_replace('^[0-9]{1,}', 'item', $k); // replace numeric key in array to 'data'
            $this->xml .= "<$tag><![CDATA[$v]]></$tag>";
        }
    }
}

public function get_xml()
{

    $header = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"" . $this->charset . "\"?><" . $this->root_name . ">";
    $footer = "</" . $this->root_name . ">";

    return $header . $this->xml . $footer;
}
}

我希望这对大家都有帮助。

function array2xml(array $data, SimpleXMLElement $object = null, $oldNodeName = 'item')
{
    if (is_null($object)) $object = new SimpleXMLElement('<root/>');
    $isNumbered = true;
    $idx = 0;
    foreach ($data as $key => $x)
        if (is_string($key) || ($idx++ != $key + 0))
            $isNumbered = false;
    foreach ($data as $key => $value)
    {   
        $attribute = preg_match('/^[0-9]/', $key . '') ? $key : null;
        $key = (is_string($key) && !preg_match('/^[0-9]/', $key . '')) ? $key : preg_replace('/s$/', '', $oldNodeName);
        if (is_array($value))
        {
            $new_object = $object->addChild($key);
            if (!$isNumbered && !is_null($attribute)) $new_object->addAttribute('id', $attribute);
            array2xml($value, $new_object, $key);
        }
        else
        {
            if (is_bool($value)) $value = $value ? 'true' : 'false';
            $node = $object->addChild($key, htmlspecialchars($value));
            if (!$isNumbered && !is_null($attribute) && !isset($node->attributes()->id))
                $node->addAttribute('id', $attribute);
        }
    }
    return $object;
}

例如，该函数返回一个<obj>…</obj><obj>…</obj>数值索引的XML标记。

输入:

    array(
    'people' => array(
        'dog',
        'cat',
        'life' => array(
            'gum',
            'shoe',
        ),
        'fish',
    ),
    array('yeah'),
)

输出:

<root>
    <people>
        <people>dog</people>
        <people>cat</people>
        <life>
            <life>gum</life>
            <life>shoe</life>
        </life>
        <people>fish</people>
        <people>
            <people>yeah</people>
        </people>
    </people>
</root>

这应该能满足所有的共同需求。也许你可以把第三行改成:

$key = is_string($key) ? $key : $oldNodeName . '_' . $key;

或者如果你正在处理以s结尾的复数:

$key = is_string($key) ? $key : preg_replace('/s$/', '', $oldNodeName);
