Convert this Array object to normal Array like,
Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[Id] => 1
[server] => Test1
)
)

$data = array(
“Id”=>“1”,
“server”=>“Test1”
);

Is that a demand or a question?

If your “array object” was held in $array, then you could do: $data = (array) $array[0];

What would you like the XML to look like? (Give an example)

Hai Salathe,
Thanks , i got the result.
my Idea is to convert json to xml. So first i decode the JSON via json_decode and i got Array Object. So I can’t pass this array object to my XML Parsing Class. Its need normal Array. If anyone know to convert directly from JSON to XML… Its great.[QUOTE][/QUOTE] Thank You…

Hai,
XML format depends on JSON
Thank U.

For what it’s worth, you can create an array directly using json_decode’s second parameter.

For examples:


$json = '[{"id":1,"server":"Test1"},{"id":2,"server":"Test2"}]';
// Decode to object
print_r(json_decode($json));
// Decode to array
print_r(json_decode($json, TRUE));

The above shows the difference:



Array
(
    [0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 1
            [server] => Test1
        )

    [1] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 2
            [server] => Test2
        )
)
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [id] => 1
            [server] => Test1
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [id] => 2
            [server] => Test2
        )
)

Please, give an example. What would you like your existing JSON ([{“Id”:“1”,“server”:“Test1”},{“Id”:“2”,“server”:“Test2”}]) to look like in XML?

public function array_to_xml($data){
$xml = new XmlWriter();
$xml->openMemory();
$xml->startDocument(‘1.0’, ‘UTF-8’);
$xml->startElement(‘root’);

    function write(XMLWriter $xml, $data){
	foreach($data as $key => $value){
	    if(is_array($value)){
		$xml->startElement($key);
		write($xml, $value);
		$xml->endElement();
		continue;
	    }
	    $xml->writeElement($key, $value);
	}
    }
    write($xml, $data);
    $xml->endElement();
    //header("Content-Type: text/xml");
    return $xml->outputMemory(true);
 }

This is the function i have using to convert to XML.

In case you don’t have xmlWriter installed, read this snip and associated comments for some ideas,
