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);
        }
}

?>

<?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();

一个简短的例子:

<?php

$test_array = array (
  'bla' => 'blub',
  'foo' => 'bar',
  'another_array' => array (
    'stack' => 'overflow',
  ),
);
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement('<root/>');
array_walk_recursive($test_array, array ($xml, 'addChild'));
print $xml->asXML();

结果

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

键和值会被交换——你可以在array_walk之前用array_flip()来修复这个问题。array_walk_recursive需要PHP 5。你可以用array_walk代替，但你不会得到'stack' => 'overflow'在XML中。

下面讨论名称空间。在本例中，构造包装器以包含名称空间定义，并将其传递给函数。使用冒号来标识命名空间。

测试数组

$inarray = [];
$inarray['p:apple'] = "red";
$inarray['p:pear'] = "green";
$inarray['p:peach'] = "orange";
$inarray['p1:grocers'] = ['p1:local' => "cheap", 'p1:imported' => "expensive"];


$xml = new SimpleXMLElement( '<p:wrapper xmlns:p="http://namespace.org/api" xmlns:p1="http://namespace.org/api2 /> ');

array_to_xml($xml,$inarray); 




function array_to_xml(SimpleXMLElement $object, array $data)
{   
    $nslist = $object->getDocNamespaces();

    foreach ($data as $key => $value)
    {   
        $nspace = null;
        $keyparts = explode(":",$key,2);
        if ( count($keyparts)==2) 
            $nspace = $nslist[$keyparts[0]];

        if (is_array($value))
        {   
            $key = is_numeric($key) ? "item$key" : $key;
            $new_object = $object->addChild($key,null,$nspace);
            array_to_xml($new_object, $value);
        }   
        else
        {   
            $key = is_numeric($key) ? "item$key" : $key;
            $object->addChild($key, $value,$nspace);
        }   
    }   
}   

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");
               }
          }
     }
}
