Need convert xml into php array

Question

I am having XML Like :

[domain] => Array
(
    [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object
        (
            [@attributes] => Array
                (
                    [name] => AlOkJainist
                    [com] => y
                    [comscore] => 805
                    [net] => y
                    [netscore] => 779
                    [tv] => y
                    [tvscore] => 753
                    [cc] => y
                    [ccscore] => 728
                )

        )

    [1] => SimpleXMLElement Object
        (
            [@attributes] => Array
                (
                    [name] => BargainsdiAlOg
                    [com] => y
                    [comscore] => 805
                    [net] => y
                    [netscore] => 779
                    [tv] => y
                    [tvscore] => 753
                    [cc] => y
                    [ccscore] => 728
                )

        )

    [2] => SimpleXMLElement Object
        (
            [@attributes] => Array
                (
                    [name] => AlOkayJain
                    [com] => y
                    [comscore] => 792
                    [net] => y
                    [netscore] => 766
                    [tv] => y
                    [tvscore] => 740
                    [cc] => y
                    [ccscore] => 715
                )

        )

    )

)

I want to create PHP array Like :

array(
    'AlOkJainist' => array([com] => y, [net] => y),
    'BargainsdiAlOg' => array([com] => y, [net] => y),
    'AlOkayJain' => array([com] => y, [net] => y),

);

Please help me out, I have tried but not get success.

you can use the SimpleXML library offered by php. Pass the xml document and then recrusively loop through and build up an array.

function toArray( $obj, &$arr = null ) {
    if ( is_null( $arr ) )   $arr = array();
    if ( is_string( $obj ) ) $obj = new SimpleXMLElement( $obj );

    // Get attributes for current node and add to current array element
    $attributes = $obj->attributes();
    foreach ($attributes as $attrib => $value) {
      $arr['attributes'][$attrib] = (string)$value;
    }

    $children = $obj->children();
    $executed = false;
    // Check all children of node
    foreach ($children as $elementName => $node) {
      // Check if there are multiple node with the same key and generate a multiarray
      if($arr[$elementName] != null) {
        if($arr[$elementName][0] !== null) {
          $i = count($arr[$elementName]);
          toArray($node, $arr[$elementName][$i]);
        } else {
          $tmp = $arr[$elementName];
          $arr[$elementName] = array();
          $arr[$elementName][0] = $tmp;
          $i = count($arr[$elementName]);
          toArray($node, $arr[$elementName][$i]);
        }
      } else {
        $arr[$elementName] = array();
        toArray($node, $arr[$elementName]);
      }
      $executed = true;
    }
    // Check if is already processed and if already contains attributes
    if(!$executed && $children->getName() == "" && !isset ($arr['attributes'])) {
      $arr = (String)$obj;
    }
    return $arr;
  }
