XML constructor class for PHP

Xml generator

, _(*1)

A useful class to generate valid XML from a PHP array., _(*2)

Installation

Run the following command in your project to get the class:, _(*3)

composer require sausin/xml-construct

Usage with normal arrays

Usage is simple, _(*4)

Verbose way:

$xmlGen = new XmlConstruct('ROOT')

$string = $xmlGen->fromArray($array)->getDocument();

where $array is the PHP array from which you need the XML to be generated., _(*5)

Quick:

(new XmlConstruct('ROOT'))->fromArray($f)->getDocument();

returns the XML string., _(*6)

In both the above examples, ROOT is the root of the XML (i.e. the first element)., _(*7)

Usage with arrays when attributes are needed in XML

If used like this:, _(*8)

$array = ['KEY|ATTR|VAL' => 'VALUE'];

return (new XmlConstruct('ROOT'))->fromArray($f)->getDocument();

It will result in the following XML, _(*9)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ROOT>
  <KEY ATTR="VAL">VALUE</KEY>
<ROOT>

You can add as many attributes as you like and they will all be added to the element. Neat!, _(*10)
