Detailed explanation of the process of converting XML to array in PHP

Get an xml object:

$resp = $this->c->execute($req, $sessionKey);//获得xml对象
$items=$resp->items;

Then to read the value of the object, use $items->item, or $items->item->price. This operation is very inconvenient and does not comply with PHP's operation of arrays. Habit.

php provides the array method to convert objects into arrays. Just add (array) in front of the object you want to convert to an array.

For example, convert $items->item (an object with many items) into an array:

foreach ($items->item as $item){
         $goods[]=(array)$item;
}

$goods is a php array.
