Converting XML into a PHP data structure Page 9

>How To Use The Class

The XMLToArray class we just built is rather simple in function. It
parses your XML document into a multidimensional array. Here is some
code that shows you how you might use this now:

<?php
require_once("XMLToArray.php");
$xml2a      = new XMLToArray();
$root_node  = $xml2a->parse($xml_text);
$drive      = array_shift($root_node["_ELEMENTS"]);
//print('&lt;pre&gt;'); print_r($drive); print('&lt;/pre&gt;');
// print all the folders...
foreach ($drive["_ELEMENTS"] as $folder) {
    printf("FOLDER: %sn", $folder["name"]);
    // print all the files in this folder
    foreach ($folder["_ELEMENTS"] as $file) {
        printf("tFILE: %sn", $file["name"]);
    }
}
?>

The output of this code would yield a display similar to the following:

FOLDER: folder01
	FILE: a.txt
	FILE: b.txt
FOLDER: folder02
	FILE: c.txt
	FILE: d.txt
