function xml2array in Campaign Monitor 5.2

Converts an XML document to an array. Note that this only recognizes element names (which become keys) and text data (which become values)--attributes are not saved. Note also that if two or more elements exist at the same depth, the value for that key becomes a list of values. For example,

<code><xml><item>1</item></xml>"</code> is equivalent to

<code>array( 'xml' => array( 'item' => '1' ) )</code>

However,

<code><xml><item>1</item><item>2</item></xml></code>

is equivalent to

<code>array( 'xml' => array( 'item' => array( '1', '2' ) ) )</code>

Lastly, a node must either contain other nodes or non-empty text, not both. So

<code><xml><item> hii there<subitem>1</subitem></item></xml></code>

is incorrect, but

<code><xml><item><subitem>1</subitem><text>hii there</text></item></xml></code>

is correct. This won't crash the code, but it won't be put in to the array as you'd expect (and the inverse function array2xml() won't return the XML you'd expect).

Parameters

string $str The XML body.:

string $root (Optional) The start path within the XML body.:

string $charset (Optional) The character set of the XML document.:

Return value

array The converted XML document.
