view as rows

	// get your view object
  $view = views_get_view('map_point_xml_page');
  $view->init_display();
  $view->pre_execute();
  // execute the view sql
  $view->execute();

  // this is where the data will go
  $rows     = array();
  // get the results
  $results   = $view->result;
  // get the style plugin
  $handler  = $view->style_plugin;
  // get the fields
  $fields   = &$view->field;
  // render the field results
	//foreach ($results as $result) {
	$handler->render_fields($results);
	// foreach field result as key value
	foreach ($handler->rendered_fields as $key => $value) {
		foreach ($value as $label => $val) {
			$rows[($value['field_num_value'])][$label] = $val;
		}
