REST, Xml::fromArray() and find('all')

Hi everyone,

I am trying to build a nice REST API for my website and I had never tried it through CakePHP. I started to follow the (short) instructions, however, the way it works looks totally different from what I can read in the Cookbook.

I use CakePHP 2.2.1.

Here's what I've done so far:

app/Controller/OrdersController.php

<?php

class OrdersController extends AppController {

public function fetch($accountId) {

$this->loadModel('Account');

$this->Account->id = $accountId;

$orders = $this->Order->find('all', array(

'conditions' => array('Order.account_id' => $accountId)

));

$response = $orders;

$this->set(compact('response'));

}

}

app/View/Orders/xml/fetch.ctp 

<?php

$xml = Xml::fromArray(array('orders' => $orders));

echo $xml->asXML();

I tried this with the first account and everything was fine

Ouput:

<orders>

<Order>

<id>502cc39f-5b74-4a25-9bb2-670458d0d2b2</id>

<order_ref>96277</order_ref>

<account_id>502cc39d-8640-465a-b0da-670458d0d2b2</account_id>

<created>2012-08-16 09:55:43</created>

<modified>2012-08-16 09:55:43</modified>

</Order>

</orders>

Everything is fine with an account that has one order.

However, with an account that has several orders, this doesn't work anymore.

Expected output:

<orders>

<Order>

<id>502cc39f-66eb-59d2-2337-670458d0d2b2</id>

<order_ref>96255</order_ref>

<account_id>502cc39d-6325-ad25-5b64-670458d0d2b2</account_id>

<created>2012-08-16 09:42:33</created>

<modified>2012-08-16 09:42:33</modified>

</Order>

<Order>

<id>502cc39f-ee21-3c89-8120-670458d0d2b2</id>

<order_ref>96231</order_ref>

<account_id>502cc39d-6325-ad25-5b64-670458d0d2b2</account_id>

<created>2012-08-16 09:21:01</created>

<modified>2012-08-16 09:21:01</modified>

</Order>

</orders>

What I get:

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 1 at column 367: Entity 'nbsp' not defined

Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

Warning (2): SimpleXMLElement::__construct() [simplexmlelement.--construct]: Entity: line 3: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document [CORE\Cake\Utility\Xml.php, line 197]Code Context

I assume that Xml::fromArray() doesn't accept multiple numeric keys. Or something like this. I don't mind editing my PHP array to get he XML I expect but I really don't know how I should write my array for this :-(

Any help is welcome.

Thank you!!

Alex
