Inserting data to mysql from .xml php array - php

Question

Im trying to get some data from the LinkedIn API using OAuth 2.0. I've got the data insert for name done, but i can't seem to get the skills values. If tried to implode the data but it doesnt find any data. I know the data is recieved.
My code:
<?php
session_start();
require_once('oAuth/config.php');
require_once('oAuth/linkedinoAuth.php');
require_once('oAuth/class.linkedClass.php');
$linkedClass = new linkedClass();
# First step is to initialize with your consumer key and secret. We'll use an out-of-band oauth_callback
$linkedin = new LinkedIn($config['linkedin_access'], $config['linkedin_secret']);
//$linkedin->debug = true;
if (isset($_REQUEST['oauth_verifier'])){
$_SESSION['oauth_verifier'] = $_REQUEST['oauth_verifier'];
$linkedin->request_token = unserialize($_SESSION['requestToken']);
$linkedin->oauth_verifier = $_SESSION['oauth_verifier'];
$linkedin->getAccessToken($_REQUEST['oauth_verifier']);
$_SESSION['oauth_access_token'] = serialize($linkedin->access_token);
}
else{
$linkedin->request_token = unserialize($_SESSION['requestToken']);
$linkedin->oauth_verifier = $_SESSION['oauth_verifier'];
$linkedin->access_token = unserialize($_SESSION['oauth_access_token']);
}
$content1 = $linkedClass->linkedinGetUserInfo($_SESSION['requestToken'], $_SESSION['oauth_verifier'], $_SESSION['oauth_access_token']);
$xml = simplexml_load_string($content1);
$array = XML2Array($xml);
$content = array($xml->getName() => $array);
/* Info */
$firstname = $array['first-name'];
$lastname = $array['last-name'];
$email = $array['email-address'];
$headline = $array['headline'];
$picurl = $array['picture-url'];
$publicprofileurl = $array['public-profile-url'];
$summary = $array['summary'];
$numconnections = $array['num-connections'];
/* SKIILS */
$skills = $array['skills']->skill->skill->name;
function XML2Array(SimpleXMLElement $parent)
{
$array = array();
foreach ($parent as $name => $element) {
($node = & $array[$name])
&& (1 === count($node) ? $node = array($node) : 1)
&& $node = & $node[];
$node = $element->count() ? XML2Array($element) : trim($element);
}
return $array;
}
?>
The arrays:
Array
(
[person] => Array
(
[id] => ########
[first-name] => ########
[last-name] => ########
[languages] => Array
[skills] => Array
(
[skill] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[skill] => Array
(
[name] => Start-ups
)
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[skill] => Array
(
[name] => Business Strategy
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 3
[skill] => Array
(
[name] => Marketing Strategy
)
)
[2] => Array
(
[id] => 12
[skill] => Array
(
[name] => Management
)
)
)
)
[email-address] => ########
[phone-numbers] => ########
[im-accounts] => ########
[twitter-accounts] => ########
[headline] => ########
[picture-url] => ########
[public-profile-url] => ########
)
)

Answer 1

These are many multiple array try that :
$person=$array["person"]; // $person is array
//get first array values
$firstname = $person['first-name'];
$lastname = $person['last-name'];
$email = $person['email-address'];
$headline = $person['headline'];
$picurl = $person['picture-url'];
$publicprofileurl = $person['public-profile-url'];
$skills=$person["skills"]; //$skills is array
$skills_inner=$skills["skill"]; //skills_inner is array
//get $skills_inner value (id)
$id=$skills_inner["id"];
$skills_inner_2=$skills_inner["skill"]; // $skills_inner_2 is array
// get $skills_inner_2 value (name)
$name=$skills_inner_2["name"];
Good Luck.
