php - PHPは空の配列を文字列に変換します

Question

私のxmlファイルを配列に解析する関数xml2arrayがあります。xml ファイルに空の値がある場合、関数はこれを array( ) 空の配列に変換します。

だから< test >< /test > becomes [test]=>array()、しかし私はそれが空の文字列 "" であることを望みます。

以下の関数を編集する方法を知っている人はいますか:

<?php
    function xml2array($contents, $get_attributes = 1, $priority = 'tag') {

    $parser = xml_parser_create('');
    xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_TARGET_ENCODING, "UTF-8");
    xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, 0);
    xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE, 1);
    xml_parse_into_struct($parser, trim($contents), $xml_values);
    xml_parser_free($parser);
    if (!$xml_values)
        return; //Hmm...
    $xml_array = array ();
    $parents = array ();
    $opened_tags = array ();
    $arr = array ();
    $current = & $xml_array;
