I need to turn a node of an XML, recursively, into a json string. I have for the most part
$sku = "AC2061414";
$dom = new SimpleXMLElement(file_get_contents( "/usr/share//all_products.xml" ));
$query = '//sku[text() = "'.$sku.'"]';
$entries = $dom->xpath($query);
foreach ($entries as $entry) {
$parent_div = $entry->xpath( 'parent::*' );
$nodearray=array();
foreach($parent_div as $node) {
if ($node->nodeType == XML_CDATA_SECTION_NODE) {
$nodearray[$node->getName()]=$node->textContent;
}else{
$nodearray[$node->getName()]=$node;
}
}
$ajax = json_encode( $nodearray );
print($ajax);
}
Run on
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<products>

And ends with

Which seem ok except for the missing node values that were CDATA. I did try to account for it but it is not working. What is the trick here?
