如何将curl xml响应转换为php中的数组

Question

我在我的项目中使用curl。当我发送请求时，响应以如下所示的XML形式出现。如何将此xml转换为数组以呈现在网页中。

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <OTA_HotelAvailRS Version="1.0">
      <Success Id="140948"/>
       <Properties>
         <Property HotelCityCode="ELS" HotelCode="18918" HotelName="Premier Hotel Regent - Demo">

Answer 1

为什么要把它转换成数组呢?PHP非常擅长处理XML。只需在SimpleXML或DOMDocument中加载XML并直接使用它。

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($response);
echo $xml->properties->property['HotelName'];
