Exlpode xml and turn into array - php

Question

I want to know how to explode or split xml and turn into array and then insert it to database. Because i have an api that need to hit every day and it return xml.
here's my xml sample:
<ArrayOfUnitPrice>
<UnitPrice>
<PriceAmount>1579.7080</PriceAmount>
<PriceDate>2016-09-02</PriceDate>
<PriceType>XWZ</PriceType>
</UnitPrice>
<UnitPrice>
<PriceAmount>1028.4137</PriceAmount>
<PriceDate>2016-09-02</PriceDate>
<PriceType>ABC</PriceType>
</UnitPrice>
...
</ArrayOfUnitPrice>
I'm using this code to extract the xml response:
$ch = curl_init("111.222.333.444:8080/code.asmx/Price");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data);
$result=curl_exec ($ch);
//my code here
curl_close($ch);
SOLVED
I already done solve my code by using this code below guys.
$xml = simplexml_load_string($result);
for ($i=0; $i < count($xml) ; $i++) {
$arr[] = array (
'PriceAmount' => $xml->UnitPrice[$i]->PriceAmount,
'PriceDate' => $xml->UnitPrice[$i]->PriceDate,
'PriceType' => $xml->UnitPrice[$i]->PriceType
);
}
$data = json_decode(json_encode($arr), true);
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$dbname = "dailywork";
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
if(is_array($data)){
$check = "SELECT * FROM table_unit";
if($conn->query($check)->num_rows > 0){
// my stuff to here :-D
}else{
/*Insert data to DB*/
$sql = "INSERT INTO table_unit (PriceAmount, PriceDate, PriceType) values ";
$valuesArr = array();
foreach($data as $row){
$PriceAmount = $row[PriceAmount][0];
$PriceDate = $row[PriceDate][0];
$PriceType = $row[PriceType][0];
$valuesArr[] = "('$PriceAmount', '$PriceDate', '$PriceType')";
}
$sql .= implode(',', $valuesArr);
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
echo "New record created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
}
/*End Insert data to DB*/
}
}
$conn->close();

This function will give you an array of your xml
function xml2php($xmlcontent)
{
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_parse_into_struct($xml_parser, $xmlcontent, $arr_vals);
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
return $arr_vals;
}
pass your $result like this and check it
xml2php($result);
let me know if it helps you
