In this simple case type casting will also work:

$my_array = (array)$answer

2 of 5

This should work:

$xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlstring);
$json = json_encode(array = json_decode($json,TRUE);

function xml2array ( $xmlObject, $out = array () )
{
    foreach ( (array) $xmlObject as $index => $node )
        index] = ( is_object ( $node ) ) ? xml2array ( $node ) : $node;

    return $out;
}

It could help you. However, if you convert XML to an array you will loose all attributes that might be present, so you cannot go back to XML and get the same XML.

Just (array) is missing in your code before the simplexml object:

...

$xml   = simplexml_load_string($string, 'SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA);

$array = json_decode(json_encode((array)$xml), TRUE);
                                 ^^^^^^^

php - SimpleXML Attributes to Array - Stack Overflow

a more elegant way; it gives you the same results without using $attributes[ '@attributes' ] :

$attributes = current($element->attributes());

2 of 5

Don't directly read the '@attributes' property, that's for internal use. Anyway, attributes() can already be used as an array without needing to "convert" to a real array.

For example:

<?php
$xml = '<xml><test><a a="b" r="x" q="v" /></test><b/></xml>';
$x = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);

$attr = $x->test[0]->a[0]->attributes();
echo $attr['a']; // "b"

If you want it to be a "true" array, you're gonna have to loop:

$attrArray = array();
$attr = $x->test[0]->a[0]->attributes();

foreach($attr as $key=>$val){
    $attrArray[(string)$key] = (string)$val;
}

PHP get values from SimpleXMLElement array - Stack Overflow

SimpleXMLElement array - PHP - SitePoint Forums | Web Development & Design Community

With SimpleXML, you can get :

sub-elements, using object notation : $element->subElement
and attributes, using array notation : $element['attribute']

So, here, I'd say you'd have to use :

echo $child['name'];

As a reference, and for a couple of examples, see the Basic usage section of simplexml's manual.

Example #6 should be the interesting one, about attributes.

2 of 5

While you can do:

echo $child['name'];

to see the value, you should note that $child['name'] is an object, not a string. Echoing it casts it to a string, so it works in that situation. But if you're storing it somewhere, it's better to cast it to a string yourself:

$name = (string) $child['name'];
