    text
    copied!<p>I have an XML string that I have built up using the following example:</p> <pre><code>//add root $Add = $dom-&gt;appendChild($dom-&gt;createElement('Add')); //pCase $pCase = $Add-&gt;appendChild($dom-&gt;createElement('pCase')); //add elements $LeadGenID = $pCase-&gt;appendChild($dom-&gt;createElement('LeadGenID')); $LeadGenID-&gt;appendChild($dom-&gt;createTextNode('22')); $Debtor = $pCase-&gt;appendChild($dom-&gt;createElement('Debtor')); //address fields $Addresses = $Debtor-&gt;appendChild($dom-&gt;createElement('Addresses')); $Address = $Addresses-&gt;appendChild($dom-&gt;createElement('Address')); //array of address objects should go here $test1 = $dom-&gt;saveXML(); $sxe = simplexml_load_string($test1); if ($sxe === false) { echo 'Error while parsing the document'; exit; } $dom_sxe = dom_import_simplexml($sxe); if (!$dom_sxe) { echo 'Error while converting XML'; exit; } $dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8'); $dom_sxe = $dom-&gt;importNode($dom_sxe, true); $dom_sxe = $dom-&gt;appendChild($dom_sxe); echo $dom-&gt;save('application.xml'); </code></pre> <p>This then outputs the following in my XML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Add&gt; &lt;pCase&gt; &lt;LeadGenID&gt;22&lt;/LeadGenID&gt; &lt;Debtor&gt; &lt;Addresses&gt;&lt;Address/&gt;&lt;/Addresses&gt; &lt;/Debtor&gt; &lt;/pCase&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>I also need to output an array into this XML, so that the full output is as follows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Add&gt; &lt;pCase&gt; &lt;LeadGenID&gt;22&lt;/LeadGenID&gt; &lt;Debtor&gt; &lt;Addresses&gt; &lt;Address&gt; &lt;Street&gt;Some street&lt;/Street&gt; &lt;Postcode&gt;Some postcode&lt;/Postcode&gt; &lt;/Address&gt; &lt;/Addresses&gt; &lt;/Debtor&gt; &lt;/pCase&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>I have tried to accomplish this using</p> <pre><code>$address_array = array ( $_POST['Street'] =&gt; 'Street', $_POST['Postcode'] =&gt; 'Postcode' ); $xml = new SimpleXMLElement('&lt;Address/&gt;'); array_walk_recursive($address_array, array ($xml, 'addChild')); </code></pre> <p>but at this point I am completely lost. The API I have been given is sparse on documentation to say the least but I'm getting closer with it, but I need to enter the address as an array for the gateway. I am new to PHP as I am primarily a frontend developer who has usually only done simple contact forms etc in PHP.</p> <p>How can I output the XML example I've given above?</p> <p>Thanks</p>
