XML parsing conundrum

Question

UPDATE: I\'ve reworked the question, to show progress I\'ve made, and maybe make it easier to answer.

UPDATE 2: I\'ve added another value to the XML. Extension avail

Answer 1

This is the code that will give you the result you need. UPDATE: This concerns the latest grouping you asked for.

$scrape_xml = "files.xml";
$xml = simplexml_load_file($scrape_xml);
$groups = array();

foreach ($xml->Item as $file){
    $platform = stripslashes($file->Platform);
    $name = stripslashes($file->Name);
    $title = stripslashes($file->Title);
    $extensions = explode('    ', $file->Ext);

    foreach($extensions as $extension)
    {
        if (!isset($groups2[$platform])) $groups2[$platform] = array();
        if (!isset($groups2[$platform][$extension])) $groups2[$platform][$extension] = array();

        $groupFound = false;
        for($idx = 0; $idx < count($groups2[$platform][$extension]); $idx ++) {
            if ($groups2[$platform][$extension][$idx]["Name"] == $name 
                && $groups2[$platform][$extension][$idx]["Title"] == $title) {

                $groups2[$platform][$extension][$idx]["Files"][] =
                    array('DownloadPath' => $file->DownloadPath."");

                $groupFound = true;

                break;
            }
        }

        if ($groupFound) continue;

        $groups2[$platform][$extension][] = 
            array(
                "Name" => $name,
                "Title" => $title,
                "Files" => array(array('DownloadPath' => $file->DownloadPath."")));
    }
}

echo "
";
echo "
";
print_r($groups2);
echo "
";
