note 66896 added to ref.simplexml

Here is my Simple XML to array function, it is recursive and
has the benefit of maintaining key value relationships and
has worked well for me.

function XMLToArray($xml)
{
  if ($xml instanceof SimpleXMLElement) {
    $children = $xml->children();
    $return = null;
  }

  foreach ($children as $element => $value) {
    if ($value instanceof SimpleXMLElement) {
      $values = (array)$value->children();
      
      if (count($values) > 0) {
        $return[$element] = XMLToArray($value);
      } else {
        if (!isset($return[$element])) {
          $return[$element] = (string)$value;
        } else {
          if (!is_array($return[$element])) {
            $return[$element] = array($return[$element],
(string)$value);
          } else {
            $return[$element][] = (string)$value;
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
  
  if (is_array($return)) {
    return $return;
  } else {
    return $false;
  }
}
