savexml/loadxml

Can anyone explain the var formatting that these two functions use? I couldn't figure out how to use savexml, so I created a template xml and used loadxml to echo it, and apparently it uses an array?

XML file:

PHP Code:


			
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<note>

    <to>Tove</to>

    <from>Jani</from>

    <heading>Reminder</heading>

    <body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>

</note>

temp.obj.loadxml("test.xml");
echo(obj);

PHP Code:


			
"""Tove,"",""Jani,"",""Reminder,"",""""""Don't forget me this weekend!"""",""",

As you can see, it doesn't include the 'to', 'from' and so on. However, if I obj.savexml("test2.xml"), it maintains that format. I just don't know where and how it's storing it...

Okay, seems the format is:
obj[0].name = "note";
obj[0][0].name = "to";
obj[0][1].name = "from";
obj[0][2].name = "heading";
obj[0][3].name = "fbody";
obj[0][x][0] = "text"

So ya...

Doesn't seem like it when I tested it.

Generating xml:

PHP Code:


			
temp.xml = "";
with (temp.xml.addArrayMember("friends")) {
  for (temp.pl: allplayers) {
    with (addArrayMember("friend")) {
      addArrayMember("account").addArrayMember("text") = temp.pl.account;
      addArrayMember("nick").addArrayMember("text") = temp.pl.nick;
    }
  }
}
player.sendToClient("friends", temp.xml.savexmltostring());

Reading XML:

PHP Code:


			
temp.xml.loadxmlfromstring(data);
if (temp.xml.size() >= 1 && temp.xml[0].name=="friends") {
  for (temp.i=0; temp.i<temp.xml[0].size(); temp.i++) {
    if (temp.xml[0][temp.i].name=="friend") {
      echo("account: " @ temp.xml[0][temp.i].getArrayMember("account").text);
      echo("nick: " @ temp.xml[0][temp.i].getArrayMember("nick").text);
    }
  }
}

You can also use node attributes, there are some small things to keep care of though, "name" will be renamed to "xmlname", and "text" will automatically hold the first "text" attribute.
