只是对上面的函数进行了编辑，当键是数字时，添加前缀“key_”

// initializing or creating array
$student_info = array(your array data);

// creating object of SimpleXMLElement
$xml_student_info = new SimpleXMLElement("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?><student_info></student_info>");

// function call to convert array to xml
array_to_xml($student,$xml_student_info);

//saving generated xml file
$xml_student_info->asXML('file path and name');


function array_to_xml($student_info, &$xml_student_info) {
     foreach($student_info as $key => $value) {
          if(is_array($value)) {
            if(!is_numeric($key)){
                $subnode = $xml_student_info->addChild("$key");
                array_to_xml($value, $subnode);
            }
            else{
                $subnode = $xml_student_info->addChild("key_$key");
                array_to_xml($value, $subnode);
            }
          }
          else {
               if(!is_numeric($key)){
                    $xml_student_info->addChild("$key","$value");
               }else{
                    $xml_student_info->addChild("key_$key","$value");
               }
          }
     }
}

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

以上答案大部分是正确的。然而，我想出了这个答案，它解决了array_walk_recursive的兼容性问题，也解决了数值键的问题。它也通过了我做的所有测试:

function arrayToXML(Array $array, SimpleXMLElement &$xml) {

    foreach($array as $key => $value) {

        // None array
        if (!is_array($value)) {
            (is_numeric($key)) ? $xml->addChild("item$key", $value) : $xml->addChild($key, $value);
            continue;
        }   

        // Array
        $xmlChild = (is_numeric($key)) ? $xml->addChild("item$key") : $xml->addChild($key);
        arrayToXML($value, $xmlChild);
    }
}   

我还为此添加了一个测试类，你可能会发现有用:

class ArrayToXmlTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase {

    public function setUp(){ }
    public function tearDown(){ }

    public function testFuncExists() {
        $this->assertTrue(function_exists('arrayToXML'));
    }

    public function testFuncReturnsXml() {
        $array = array(
            'name' => 'ardi',
            'last_name' => 'eshghi',
            'age' => 31,
            'tel' => '0785323435'
        );

        $xmlEl =  new SimpleXMLElement('<root/>');
        arrayToXml($array, $xmlEl);

        $this->assertTrue($xmlEl instanceOf SimpleXMLElement);
    }

    public function testAssocArrayToXml() {

        $array = array(
            'name' => 'ardi',
            'last_name' => 'eshghi',
            'age' => 31,
            'tel' => '0785323435'
        );

        $expectedXmlEl = new SimpleXMLElement('<root/>'); 
        $expectedXmlEl->addChild('name', $array['name']);
        $expectedXmlEl->addChild('last_name', $array['last_name']);
        $expectedXmlEl->addChild('age', $array['age']);
        $expectedXmlEl->addChild('tel', $array['tel']);

        $actualXmlEl =  new SimpleXMLElement('<root/>');
        arrayToXml($array, $actualXmlEl);

        $this->assertEquals($expectedXmlEl->asXML(), $actualXmlEl->asXML());
    }

    public function testNoneAssocArrayToXml() {

        $array = array(
            'ardi',
            'eshghi',
            31,
            '0785323435'
        );

        // Expected xml value
        $expectedXmlEl = new SimpleXMLElement('<root/>'); 
        foreach($array as $key => $value)
            $expectedXmlEl->addChild("item$key", $value);

        // What the function produces       
        $actualXmlEl =  new SimpleXMLElement('<root/>');
        arrayToXml($array, $actualXmlEl);

        $this->assertEquals($expectedXmlEl->asXML(), $actualXmlEl->asXML());
    }

    public function testNestedMixArrayToXml() {

        $testArray = array(
            "goal",
            "nice",
            "funny" => array(
                'name' => 'ardi',
                'tel'   =>'07415517499',
                "vary",
                "fields" => array(
                    'small',
                    'email' => 'ardi.eshghi@gmail.com'
                ),

                'good old days'

            ),

            "notes" => "come on lads lets enjoy this",
            "cast" => array(
                'Tom Cruise',
                'Thomas Muller' => array('age' => 24)
            )
        );

        // Expected xml value
        $expectedXmlEl = new SimpleXMLElement('<root/>'); 
        $expectedXmlEl->addChild('item0', $testArray[0]);
        $expectedXmlEl->addChild('item1', $testArray[1]);
        $childEl = $expectedXmlEl->addChild('funny');
        $childEl->addChild("name", $testArray['funny']['name']);
        $childEl->addChild("tel", $testArray['funny']['tel']);
        $childEl->addChild("item0", "vary");
        $childChildEl = $childEl->addChild("fields");
        $childChildEl->addChild('item0', 'small');
        $childChildEl->addChild('email', $testArray['funny']['fields']['email']);
        $childEl->addChild("item1", 'good old days');
        $expectedXmlEl->addChild('notes', $testArray['notes']);
        $childEl2 = $expectedXmlEl->addChild('cast');
        $childEl2->addChild('item0', 'Tom Cruise');
        $childChildEl2 = $childEl2->addChild('Thomas Muller');
        $childChildEl2->addChild('age', $testArray['cast']['Thomas Muller']['age']);

        // What the function produces       
        $actualXmlEl = new SimpleXMLElement('<root/>');
        arrayToXml($testArray, $actualXmlEl);

        $this->assertEquals($expectedXmlEl->asXML(), $actualXmlEl->asXML());
    }
}      

这里有一个函数帮我解决了这个问题:

就像这样叫它

echo arrayToXml("response",$arrayIWantToConvert);
function arrayToXml($thisNodeName,$input){
        if(is_numeric($thisNodeName))
            throw new Exception("cannot parse into xml. remainder :".print_r($input,true));
        if(!(is_array($input) || is_object($input))){
            return "<$thisNodeName>$input</$thisNodeName>";
        }
        else{
            $newNode="<$thisNodeName>";
            foreach($input as $key=>$value){
                if(is_numeric($key))
                    $key=substr($thisNodeName,0,strlen($thisNodeName)-1);
                $newNode.=arrayToXml3($key,$value);
            }
            $newNode.="</$thisNodeName>";
            return $newNode;
        }
    }

这是我的入口，简单而干净。

function array2xml($array, $xml = false){
    if($xml === false){
        $xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<root/>');
    }
    foreach($array as $key => $value){
        if(is_array($value)){
            array2xml($value, $xml->addChild($key));
        }else{
            $xml->addChild($key, $value);
        }
    }
    return $xml->asXML();
}


header('Content-type: text/xml');
print array2xml($array);
