I agree with you on phpclasses.org; it appears a little bit too informal for my liking — and while the rather strict coding standards that PEAR requires for acceptance of packages can be a barrier for the contributing developer, I’ve found in my ongoing development for File_MARC (http://marc.coffeecode.net) that those guidelines have really increased my faith in the general quality of the code maintained by the PEAR project. The review comments I have received so far have already helped improve my package proposals.

May nbe this code fragment helps!

function array_to_xml($aArr, $sName, &$item = null) {
global $dom;

if (is_null($item))
$item = $dom->createElement($sName);

// Loop thru each element
foreach ($aArr as $key => $val) {
if (is_array($val)) {
//
$sub = $dom->createElement($key);
$item->appendChild($sub);
array_to_xml($val, $key, $sub);
} else {
// Add this item
$sub = $dom->createElement($key, $val);
$item->appendChild($sub);
}
}

return $item;
}

$dom = new DOMDocument(’1.0′);
// create root element
$root = $dom->createElement(’bsr’);
$dom->appendChild($root);

// create child element
$info = $dom->createElement(’info’);
$root->appendChild($info);

$aRes = array(
‘first’=>3,
’subarray’=> array(
’sub1′=>’sub1′,
’sub2′=>’sub2′,
’sub3′=>’sub3′
)
‘last’
};

$restree = array_to_xml($aRes, ‘result’);
$info->appendChild($restree);
