自动将整个XML文档解析为PHP变量

Question

Hey, Basically got a massive XML document, with lots of nodes n attributes values and all that jazz.

I'm wanting to be VERY lazy as I'm awful at XML/PHP and google seems to have failed me on this occasion.

if it possible to grab EVERY element in the XML document and make it a PHP variable?

So if my XML Doc was like maybe...

<wrap>
 <sub></sub>
  <subsub></subsub>
 <sub></sub>
  <subsub></subsub>
 <sub2></sub2>
 <sub3 value=''></sub3>
 <sub4 value=''></sub4>
</wrap>

so it would recursively check the document converting it all into php variables no matter what the name of the tags/nodes. so for example they would end up looking like maybe. $wrap; $sub1; $sub[2]; $sub2; $sub3; $sub4; $sub3['value']; $sub4['value'];

so it would have to me smart to delve deep into possibly like 8 children down?

is this possible or will i have to type out like $sub1 = $xml->wrap->sub1; because that's like...over 1k lines of code that i don't want to exist lol.

just incase the xml feed is HERE

thanks for your time :)

Answer 1

   $xml = simplexml_load_string($response);
// $response is your xml file/output string

you can then refer to elements within the $xml object like this

$xml->children('yourschema')->children('yoururn')->Tag1->Tag2
