您也可以通过DOM来实现这一点。请参阅下面的代码。

<?php

$el = array();
$command = array();

$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$dom->formatOutput = true;

$xml_array = [
    'root'=>[
    'Good guy' => [
        'name' => [
            '_cdata' => 'Luke Skywalker'
        ],
        'weapon' => 'Lightsaber'
    ],
    'Bad guy' => [
        'name' => 'Sauron',
        'weapon' => 'Evil Eye'
    ]
        ]
];

convert_xml($xml_array);

if(!empty($el))
{
    $dom->appendChild(end($el));
}

echo $dom->saveXML();

?>

<?php

 function convert_xml($Xml)
{
    global $el, $dom;

        foreach($Xml as $id=>$val)
        {
            if(is_numeric($id))
            {
                $id = "Item".($id);
            }

            $id = str_replace(' ', '-', strtolower($id));

            if(is_array($val))
            {
                $ele = $dom->createElement($id);
                array_push($el, $ele);
                convert_xml($val);
            }
            else
            {
                $ele = $dom->createElement($id, $val);

                if(!empty($el))
                {
                    $com = end($el)->appendChild($ele);
                }
                else
                {
                    $dom->appendChild($ele);
                }

            }
        }

        if(sizeof($el) > 1)
        {
            $child = end($el);
            $com = prev($el)->appendChild($child);
            array_pop($el);
        }
}

?>

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());
    }
}      

其他解决方案:

$marray=array(....);
$options = array(
                "encoding" => "UTF-8",
                "output_type" => "xml", 
                "version" => "simple",
                "escaping" => array("non-ascii, on-print, markup")
                );
$xmlres = xmlrpc_encode_request('root', $marray, $options);
print($xmlres);

function toXML($data, $obj = false, $dom) {
    $is_first_level = false;
    if($obj === false) {
        $dom = new DomDocument('1.0');
        $obj = $dom;
        $is_first_level = true;
    }

    if(is_array($data)) {
        foreach($data as $key => $item) {
            $this->toXML($item, $obj->appendChild($dom->createElement($key)), $dom);
        }
    }else {
        $obj->appendChild($dom->createTextNode($data));
    }

    if($is_first_level) {
        $obj->formatOutput = true;
        return $obj->saveXML();
    }
    return $obj;
}

我发现所有的答案都是使用过多的代码。这里有一个简单的方法:

function to_xml(SimpleXMLElement $object, array $data)
{   
    foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
        if (is_array($value)) {
            $new_object = $object->addChild($key);
            to_xml($new_object, $value);
        } else {
            // if the key is an integer, it needs text with it to actually work.
            if ($key != 0 && $key == (int) $key) {
                $key = "key_$key";
            }

            $object->addChild($key, $value);
        }   
    }   
}   

然后，将数组发送到使用递归的函数中就很简单了，因此它将处理多维数组:

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<rootTag/>');
to_xml($xml, $my_array);

现在$xml包含了一个漂亮的xml对象，它完全基于您编写数组的方式。

print $xml->asXML();
