You can use the SimpleXMLElement class in PHP to convert an XML file with namespaces to a PHP array. Here's an example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
$xml = <<<XML
<root xmlns:ns1="http://example.com/ns1" xmlns:ns2="http://example.com/ns2">
<ns1:element1>Value 1</ns1:element1>
<ns2:element2>Value 2</ns2:element2>
</root>
XML;
// Create SimpleXMLElement object
$simpleXml = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);
// Convert XML to PHP array
$json = json_encode($simpleXml);
$array = json_decode($json, true);
print_r($array);
|
This will output:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
Array
(
[@attributes] => Array
(
[xmlns:ns1] => http://example.com/ns1
[xmlns:ns2] => http://example.com/ns2
)
[ns1:element1] => Value 1
[ns2:element2] => Value 2
)
|
Note that the namespace prefixes are included in the array keys. If you want to remove the prefixes, you can loop through the array and manually update the keys.
