PHP Simple Implementation of Parsing xml into Arrays

In this paper, an example is given to describe the simple implementation of PHP to parse xml into arrays. Share it for your reference, as follows:

Want to do a plug-in mechanism recently, need to use xml, when parsing xml need to convert into an array, specially record one such parsing mode

xmlDemo. xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<main xmlns="http://www.xiaoetongo.cn" versionCode="1.0">
<controller co="Aritles">
<meth title=" Test plug-in " do="aritle"/>
</controller>
<controller co="Ari">
<meth title=" Test plug-in " do="ar"/>
<meth title=" Test plug-in " do="a"/>
</controller>
<install><![CDATA[]]></install>
<upgrade><![CDATA[]]></upgrade>
</main>

php code:

<?php
$xmls=file_get_contents("xmlDemo.xml");
$xml =simplexml_load_string($xmls);
$xmljson= json_encode($xml);
$xml=json_decode($xmljson,true);
var_dump($xml);

Run results:

array(4) {
 ["@attributes"]=>
 array(1) {
  ["versionCode"]=>
  string(3) "1.0"
 }
 ["controller"]=>
 array(2) {
  [0]=>
  array(2) {
   ["@attributes"]=>
   array(1) {
    ["co"]=>
    string(7) "Aritles"
   }
   ["meth"]=>
   array(1) {
    ["@attributes"]=>
    array(2) {
     ["title"]=>
     string(12) " Test plug-in "
     ["do"]=>
     string(6) "aritle"
    }
   }
  }
  [1]=>
  array(2) {
   ["@attributes"]=>
   array(1) {
    ["co"]=>
    string(3) "Ari"
   }
   ["meth"]=>
   array(2) {
    [0]=>
    array(1) {
     ["@attributes"]=>
     array(2) {
      ["title"]=>
      string(12) " Test plug-in "
      ["do"]=>
      string(2) "ar"
     }
    }
    [1]=>
    array(1) {
     ["@attributes"]=>
     array(2) {
      ["title"]=>
      string(12) " Test plug-in "
      ["do"]=>
      string(1) "a"
     }
    }
   }
  }
 }
 ["install"]=>
 array(0) {
 }
 ["upgrade"]=>
 array(0) {
 }
}
