来自xml-file的PHP数组 - 获取未知的对象名称和属性

Question

I load a xml-file like this:

$xml = simplexml_load_file('test.xml'); 

Then I created an array:

$array= $xml->xpath('//objektart');

The content of the array looks like this:

Array
(
    [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object
        (
            [haus] => SimpleXMLElement Object
                (
                    [@attributes] => Array
                        (
                            [haustyp] => ZWEIFAMILIENHAUS
                        )

                )

        )

)

Now I want to get the name of the SimpleXMLElement Object = "haus" and the attributes = "haustyp" and "ZWEIFAMILIENHAUS" for outputtting them on a website.

The values like "haus", "haustyp" and "ZWEIFAMILIENHAUS" can vary, so i cant rely on these "keywords" to access them. Just the method of creating the array from the xml-element stays the same.

Can anyone please point me to the right direction here? I'm stuck for hours testing without any result...

I created a package to simplify xml conversions in php. You can find it here:

https://github.com/mtownsend5512/xml-to-array/blob/master/src/XmlToArray.php

It will allow you to convert your xml like so:

$xml = \Mtownsend\XmlToArray\XmlToArray::convert(file_get_contents('test.xml'));

Then you may inspect the php array with print_r($xml); If attributes are picked up, they will be in an @attributes key. You are free to use PHP's many array functions to manipulate and loop over the array.

If you provide more information about your actual xml, I can provide more detailed examples.
