PHP - Simple XML - Nested Hierarchy

The below code works fine for a simple XML hierarchy:

$xml = simplexml_load_file(         


        

Answer 1

That's because you need to go another level down in

Check this out, example from SimpleXMLElement::children:

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement(
'
     
         
     
     
         
             
         
     
 ');

foreach ($xml->children() as $second_gen) {
    echo ' The person begot a ' . $second_gen['role'];

    foreach ($second_gen->children() as $third_gen) {
        echo ' who begot a ' . $third_gen['role'] . ';';

        foreach ($third_gen->children() as $fourth_gen) {
            echo ' and that ' . $third_gen['role'] .
                ' begot a ' . $fourth_gen['role'];
        }
    }
}
