You want the file as a string, or the data as an array?

Try this:

$xml2Array = array();
if (file_exists('C:/download/171_EKG.xml')) {
    $xml = simplexml_load_file('C:/download/171_EKG.xml');
    foreach( $xml->children() as $key => $value ) {
        $nodes = array();
        foreach( $value->children() as $k => $v ) {
            $nodes[ ( string ) $v->getName() ] = ( string ) $v;
        }

        $node = ( string ) $value->getName();
        $xml2Array[ $node ][] = $nodes;
    }
}
print_r($xml2Array);

Hope this helps.

Use the xpath command, it works great in creating an array.

For example, to create array of all Tags named: A

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement("NameOfTheXMLFiles"); $arr=$xml->xpath("A");

Then fetch any alement with tag A as an array: $arr[0], $arr[1], etc..

I have tried the same code and it returned an perfect array of object, which is obvious.

Here is what I have tried

if (file_exists('test.xml')) {
    $xml = simplexml_load_file('test.xml');
    print_r($xml);
    $xml->EKG_PASIEN->ALAMAT; //Returns JAKARTA
}

In above code you can also find how to access a single record from objects array.
