I need to read xml file and load its content into the array. What is the simplest way to do this?

$xml = json_decode(json_encode((array) simplexml_load_file("./test.xml")), 1);
print_r $xml;

  • it would better i think to skip json_*code functions looks pointless to me Commented Jul 20, 2012 at 8:21
  • Depending on the XML it's not possible: XML is "more powerful" than simple arrays and thus you cannot map a XML directly onto such a structure. Commented Jul 20, 2012 at 8:21

You can try using SimpleXMLElement of php

$source = 'test.xml';

 // load as string
 $xmlstr = file_get_contents($source);
 $xmlcont = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);
 foreach($xmlcont as $url) 
 {
    echo "{$url->loc} - {$url->lastmod} - {$url->changefreq} - {$url->priority}\r\n";
 }
