Generating an empty XML node with attribute.

[nikhil-warvatkar]

Hello everybody,
I need to generate an xml node with empty value, but it must have some attributes.
For example:
<Header messageId= '123abc-cba' isTest='false' senderId='SND12345' receiverId='REC12345' security="security-key" originalMessageId='' errorCode='' errorMessage=''/>

Result need for example:

<Header messageId= '123abc-cba' isTest='false' senderId='SND12345' receiverId='REC12345' security="security-key" originalMessageId='' errorCode='' errorMessage=''/>
<OrderType>DECORATED</OrderType>
<PurchaseOrderNumber>TESTDECORDER-01</PurchaseOrderNumber>
<Currency>EUR</Currency>
<custom-key:1 attr1="value1" attr2="value2">
	<name>Vladimir</name>
	<nickname>greeflas</nickname>
</custom-key:1>
<custom-key:2>
	<name>Marina</name>
	<nickname>estacet</nickname>
</custom-key:2>

It is possible to achieve this result with this library,
thank you all in advance

Just add attributes as you would do normally:

(new Spatie\ArrayToXml\ArrayToXml([
     'Header' => [
        '_attributes' => [
            'messageId' => '123abc-cba',
            'isTest' => 'false',
            //.......
        ],
     ],
]))->prettify()->toXml();

Thanks for the early response.
this not worked with below code. Its wrapping around the below array.
$array = [
'header' => [
'_attributes' => ['messageId' => '123abc-cba', 'senderId' => '[CUSTOMERID]', 'receiverId' => 'PF', 'security' => 'securityID'],
],
'custom-key:1' => [
'_attributes' => ['attr1' => 'value1', 'attr2' => 'value2'],
'name' => 'Vladimir',
'nickname' => 'greeflas',
]
];

Looks fine to me:

require "vendor/autoload.php";

$array = [
    'header' => [
        '_attributes' => ['messageId' => '123abc-cba', 'senderId' => '[CUSTOMERID]', 'receiverId' => 'PF', 'security' => 'securityID'],
    ],
    'custom-key:1' => [
        '_attributes' => ['attr1' => 'value1', 'attr2' => 'value2'],
        'name' => 'Vladimir',
        'nickname' => 'greeflas',
    ]
];

echo (new Spatie\ArrayToXml\ArrayToXml($array))->prettify()->toXml();

and here's the result I got:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
  <header messageId="123abc-cba" senderId="[CUSTOMERID]" receiverId="PF" security="securityID"/>
  <custom-key:1 attr1="value1" attr2="value2">
    <name>Vladimir</name>
    <nickname>greeflas</nickname>
  </custom-key:1>
</root>

Hello everybody,
How can I create a node with attribute and element value ?
E.g.
<OrderNode isOrderComplete="false">252.5</OrderNode>

[weirdan]

It's in the docs: https://github.com/spatie/array-to-xml#adding-attributes

$array = [
  'OrderNode' => [
      '_attributes' => ['isOrderComplete' => 'false'],
      '_value' => '252.5', // <===== note that it has to be a string. '252.5' works, 252.5 doesn't
   ],
];
