PHP Array to XML Converter

Turn PHP array literals into well-formed XML with a configurable root element in your browser.

O M T

Serialize PHP arrays to XML documents

Legacy integrations, SOAP payloads, and feed exporters still expect XML even when the source data lives in PHP array syntax. This converter parses real PHP arrays and builds a well-formed XML tree with a root element you control.

Compare with the PHP Array to JSON Converter for JSON APIs, or the JavaScript Object to XML Converter when your input is a JS literal instead of PHP.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are associative keys mapped to XML?

Each key becomes an element name. Characters that are invalid in XML tag names are replaced with underscores.

What happens to numeric lists?

Indexed PHP arrays become repeated child elements under the root node, preserving order.

Does pretty-print change values?

No. Pretty-print only adds indentation; the serialized data stays the same.
