Requires

• php: >=5.5

README

This library extends the DOMDocument function by adding a loadArray function that converts PHP arrays to DOMDocument classes that can be used to generate XML, HTML and other types of code. This library does the opposite of our XML-Array library which converts XML to a PHP array.

Requirements

• PHP 5.5+

Installation

The easiest way to install this library is to use composer. To install, simply include the following in your composer.json file:

"require": {
    "multidimensional/dom-array": "*"
}

Or run the following command from a terminal or shell:

composer require --prefer-dist multidimensional/dom-array

You can also specify version constraints, with more information available here.

Usage

This library utilizes PSR-4 autoloading, so make sure you include the library near the top of your class file:

use Multidimensional\DomArray\DOMArray;

How to use in your code:

$dom = new DOMArray('1.0', 'utf-8');
$array = ['item' => ['subitem' => 'true', '@id' => '123']];
$dom->loadArray($array);
$xml = $dom->saveXML();

echo $xml;

/*  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 *  <item id="123">
 *    <subitem>true</subitem>
 *  </item>
 */

As shown in the example, attributes can be assigned by adding an @ symbol before the attribute name.

Null and Empty arrays will generate a DOMDocument with no elements.

Contributing

We appreciate all help in improving this library by either adding functions or improving existing functionality. If you do want to add to our library, please ensure you use PSR-2 formatting and add unit testing for all added functions.
