我喜欢这个问题，一些答案对我很有帮助，但我需要将xml转换为一个支配数组，所以我将发布我的解决方案，也许以后有人需要它:

<?php
$xml = json_decode(json_encode((array)simplexml_load_string($xml)),1);
$finalItem = getChild($xml);
var_dump($finalItem);

function getChild($xml, $finalItem = []){
    foreach($xml as $key=>$value){
        if(!is_array($value)){
            $finalItem[$key] = $value;
        }else{
            $finalItem = getChild($value, $finalItem);
        }
    }
    return $finalItem;
}
?>  

我知道我晚了10亿年，但我遇到了和您一样的问题，需要一个更复杂的解决方案，因此我制作了一个函数(xml_decode())，将SimpleXMLElements转换为PHP数组，同时不丢失属性，并带有参数，以便更可定制地使用。

val()函数用于自定义如何处理元素值——例如，如果您想将<elem>true</elem>转换为true而不是“true”。

免责声明:我知道只使用PHP SimpleXML扩展更容易，但我需要将许多XML文件转换为JSON文件，以便在我的一个项目中进行重大更改。此外，这个问题是关于如何将XML转换为PHP数组，而不是如何在PHP中使用XML。

<?php

function val($input) {
    return strval($input);
}

/**
 * Transform an SimpleXMLElement into an associative array.
 * 
 * @param SimpleXMLElement $xml The XML element to be decoded.
 * 
 * @param bool $attributes_key If the element attributes should be grouped into a single element.
 * 
 * Example: <elem foo="true" bar="false" />
 * 
 * If true, xml_decode() will output
 * array("attributes" => array("foo" => "true", "bar" => "false"))
 * 
 * If false, xml_decode() will output
 * array("foo" => "true", "bar" => "false")
 * 
 * @param bool $reduce If unecessary keys created due to XML structure should be eliminated.
 * 
 * Example: <fruits><fruit>apple</fruit><fruit>banana</fruit></fruits>
 * 
 * If true, xml_decode() will output the element as
 * array("fruits" => array(0 => "apple", 1 => "banana"))
 * 
 * If false, xml_decode() will output the element as
 * array("fruits" => array("fruit" => array(0 => "apple", 1 => "banana")))
 * 
 * @param array $always_array List of which childs should be treated aways as an array.
 * 
 * Example: <fruits><fruit>apple</fruit></fruits>
 * 
 * If array("fruit") is passed as $aways_array, xml_decode() will output the element as
 * array("fruits" => array("fruit" => array(0 => "apple")))
 * 
 * If not, xml_decode() will output the element as
 * array("fruits" => array("fruit" => "apple"))
 * 
 * @param array $value_keys List of custom element's value names. This argument is only
 * used when values need to passed as elements because of attributes or other reasons.
 * 
 * The default value key name is "value".
 * 
 * Example: <fruits><fruit id="123">apple</fruit></fruits>
 * 
 * If array("fruit" => "name) is passed as $value_keys, xml_decode() will output the element as
 * array("fruits" => array("fruit" => array("attributes" => array("id" => "123"), "name" => "apple")))
 * 
 * If not, xml_decode() will output the element as
 * array("fruits" => array("fruit" => array("attributes" => array("id" => "123"), "value" => "apple")))

恢复所有文档和注释，函数将属性和元素值转换为简单的数组元素，并使用自身的循环来处理包含子元素的元素。

这些参数允许你:

将属性分组为单独的键; 删除由于XML结构转换而产生的不必要的键(例如:fruits->fruit to $arr['fruits']['fruit'][n]); 设置应该被视为列表的元素(因为有时它只有一个子元素，但你仍然需要它是一个列表); 为数组元素键设置一个名称，它将表示XML元素文本值——当属性转换为数组元素时将需要这个值。

XML元素的使用示例(我认为你在11年后已经解决了这个问题，但我正在回答这个问题，所以……):

test.xml

<test>
    <aaaa Version="1.0">
        <bbb>
            <cccc>
                <dddd Id="id:pass" />
                <eeee name="hearaman" age="24" />
            </cccc>
        </bbb>
    </aaaa>
</test>

PHP

$xml = simplexml_load_file("test.xml");
$decode = xml_decode($xml);
echo "<pre>" . print_r($decode,true) . "</pre>";

输出

Array
(
    [aaaa] => Array
        (
            [attributes] => Array
                (
                    [Version] => 1.0
                )

            [bbb] => Array
                (
                    [cccc] => Array
                        (
                            [dddd] => Array
                                (
                                    [attributes] => Array
                                        (
                                            [Id] => id:pass
                                        )

                                    [value] => 
                                )

                            [eeee] => Array
                                (
                                    [attributes] => Array
                                        (
                                            [name] => hearaman
                                            [age] => 24
                                        )

                                    [value] => 
                                )

                        )

                )

        )

)

另一个选择是SimpleXML扩展(我相信它是大多数php安装的标配)。

http://php.net/manual/en/book.simplexml.php

在您的示例中，语法看起来像这样

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlString);
echo $xml->bbb->cccc->dddd['Id'];
echo $xml->bbb->cccc->eeee['name'];
// or...........
foreach ($xml->bbb->cccc as $element) {
  foreach($element as $key => $val) {
   echo "{$key}: {$val}";
  }
}

将一个XML字符串($buffer)转换为一个忽略属性的简化数组，并将具有相同名称的子元素分组:

function XML2Array(SimpleXMLElement $parent)
{
    $array = array();

    foreach ($parent as $name => $element) {
        ($node = & $array[$name])
            && (1 === count($node) ? $node = array($node) : 1)
            && $node = & $node[];

        $node = $element->count() ? XML2Array($element) : trim($element);
    }

    return $array;
}

$xml   = simplexml_load_string($buffer);
$array = XML2Array($xml);
$array = array($xml->getName() => $array);

结果:

Array
(
    [aaaa] => Array
        (
            [bbb] => Array
                (
                    [cccc] => Array
                        (
                            [dddd] => 
                            [eeee] => 
                        )

                )

        )

)

如果您还想拥有这些属性，可以通过SimpleXMLElement的JSON编码/解码使用它们。这通常是最简单快捷的解决方法:

$xml   = simplexml_load_string($buffer);
$array = json_decode(json_encode((array) $xml), true);
$array = array($xml->getName() => $array);

结果:

Array
(
    [aaaa] => Array
        (
            [@attributes] => Array
                (
                    [Version] => 1.0
                )

            [bbb] => Array
                (
                    [cccc] => Array
                        (
                            [dddd] => Array
                                (
                                    [@attributes] => Array
                                        (
                                            [Id] => id:pass
                                        )

                                )

                            [eeee] => Array
                                (
                                    [@attributes] => Array
                                        (
                                            [name] => hearaman
                                            [age] => 24
                                        )

                                )

                        )

                )

        )

)

请注意，所有这些方法都只能在XML文档的名称空间中工作。

/* Creating an XML file (Optional): Create an XML file which need to convert into the array. test.xml */ <aaaa Version="1.0"> <bbb> <cccc> <dddd Id="id:pass" /> <eeee name="hearaman" age="24" /> </cccc> </bbb> </aaaa> <?php // xml file path $path = "text.xml"; // set your according path for dynamic. // Read entire file into string $xmlfile = file_get_contents($path); // Convert xml string into an object $new = simplexml_load_string($xmlfile); // Convert into json $con = json_encode($new); // Convert into associative array $newArr = json_decode($con, true); print_r($newArr); ?> Output: Result of XML conversion to PHP Array [ 'aaaa' => [ 'bbb' => [ 'cccc' => [ 'dddd' => [ '@value' => '', '@attributes' => [ 'Id' => 'id:pass', ], ], 'eeee' => [ '@value' => '', '@attributes' => [ 'name' => 'hearaman', 'age' => '24', ], ], ], ], '@attributes' => [ 'Version' => '1.0', ], ], ]
