How to convert array to SimpleXML

Question

How can I convert an array to a SimpleXML object in PHP?

Answer 1

With FluidXML you can generate, starting from a PHP Array, an XML for SimpleXML with... just two lines of code.

$fluidxml  = fluidxml($array);
$simplexml = simplexml_import_dom($fluidxml->dom());

An example array could be

$array = [ 'doc' => [
              'fruit' => 'orange',
              'cake'  => [
                   '@id' => '123', 
                   '@'   => 'tiramisu' ],
              [ 'pasta' => 'matriciana' ],
              [ 'pasta' => 'boscaiola'  ]
] ];
