How to use xml serialized string in php? [closed]

Question

This is my code:

$php_var = json_decode($json, 1);

$serializer=new XML_Serializer();
if($serializer->serialize($php_var))
$xml_string=htmlspecialchars("<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>".$serializer->getSerializedData());
echo $xml_string; 
$xml_obj = new DOMDocument;
@$xml_obj->loadXML($xml_string);

$urls=$xml_obj->getElementsByTagName('visibleUrl');
foreach($urls as $u)
      {
        echo $u->textContent."<br/>";
      }

Stack overflow is about asking and answering questions, not posting random snippets of code. How often I see these kinds of posts is maddeningly frustrating. — Bojangles

Yes, this looks pretty useless. You'll need to explain what you are trying to accomplish. Why don't you access the array data directly? — mario

Skip the XML part and use the parsed JSON structure directly.

 print_r($php_var);

Will show you the content. If you're looking for some "visibleUrl" string, then traverse the array recursively until you find it.

You might try Dynamic Array traversal in PHP
