I have an xml data and i need to convert this xml into an array ,i use the bellow PHP code,

$xml                       = new SimpleXMLElement($data); // $data contain the xml data
$transaction_result        = json_decode(json_encode($xml),true);

This is working ,but the problem is.

If a node in xml is empty,That value automatically converted as an empty array.Is it possible to remove the empty array?

Example: if the node in xml is <name></name> then the result become 

array('name'=>array());

My expected result is

array('name'=>'');

How is it possible to overcome this issue?

  • You can try passing some options to SimpleXMLElement to filter out empty nodes, for example LIBXML_NOBLANKS see: php.net/manual/en/libxml.constants.php Commented Jul 11, 2016 at 13:36
