function objectsIntoArray($arrObjData, $arrData = array())
{

	// if input is object, convert into array
	if (is_object($arrObjData)) {
		$arrObjData = get_object_vars($arrObjData);
	}

	if (is_array($arrObjData)) {
			foreach ($arrObjData as $index => $value) {
				if (is_object($value) or is_array($value)) {
					$value = objectsIntoArray($value); //recursive call
				}
				
				$arrData[$index] = $value;
			}
	}

	return $arrData;
}

$xml = "my.xml";

$object = simplexml_load_file($xml);

$arr = objectsIntoArray($object);

print "<pre>";

print_r($arr);

echo "Course Count ".count($arr[course])."<br/>";

foreach ($arr[course] as $course_key => $course_value){
	echo "Exam Count ".count($arr[course][$course_key][exam])."<br/>";
}


now please look Course 2 there is an exam but it prints me 3. because when there is one exam it not converts to array
exam [0] array{

}

it converts directly exam array{

}

because of that it count not exams it count tags inside exam.

how can i fix this.

thanks.
