Handy implementation. Somerthing I’ve noticed is that you might risk to lose data if you receive nodes of XML_CDATA_SECTION_NODE type. I’m afraid such data might be silently dropped. Handling such nodes the same way as XML_TEXT_NODE nodes could be an idea to avoid this. My 2cc.

Hi
Nice class but has too many notices.
Please enable notices when you develope

so i added initializing result and isset check:
$result = ”;

if(isset($node->childNodes)) {
foreach($node->childNodes as $child) {
$occurance[$child->nodeName] = isset($occurance[$child->nodeName]) ? $occurance[$child->nodeName] + 1 : 1;
}
}

Brilliant script, works really really well with a current project we’re working on.
However, it seems, after using this script, that it removes new lines (\n) from the values of the XML, is there anyway to get these back, or convert them to s?

Thanks!
