[TYPO3-dev] getting data out of flexForm structure

[Dr. Ronald P. Steiner]

Hi List,

I'm working on an extension.
- it basically gets the data fields of a certain content element and 
reads them into an array. If the content element contains flex form this 
array will contain fields like:

$array['pi_flexform'] = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" 
standalone="yes" ?> <T3FlexForms> ....';

I now want to transform this information into an array. Any one got an idea?

Just to mention, the following will not work:
#####
$this->pi_initPIflexForm();
$conf = array();
$piFlexForm = $this->cObj->data['pi_flexform'];
foreach ( $piFlexForm['data'] as $sheet => $data )
    foreach ( $data as $lang => $value )
        foreach ( $value as $key => $val )
           $conf[$key] = $this->pi_getFFvalue($piFlexForm, $key, $sheet);
#####
cause $this->pi_initPIflexForm() writes the flex-form data of the 
current plugin into $this->cObj->data['pi_flexform'];

Hope someone has a hint.

greetings

Ron
