Attributes are accessible via the array-style syntax [1] or attributes() method [2].

I think problem is created when SIMPLEXML uses @ in @attributes nodes. It works most of the time, but a node attribute is lost for certain xml data like I demonstrated below. Test script: --------------- $xml =<<<ENDOF <root> <zakara ee="rr1"> <xx>aa1</xx> <xx plop="huhuD">aa4</xx> </zakara> </root> ENDOF; $obj=simplexml_load_string($xml,'SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA|LIBXML_NOBLANKS|LIBXML_NOERROR|LIBXML_NOWARNING); if (!$obj) die(); print_r($obj); [plop] => huhuD dissapears. Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [zakara] => Array ( [@attributes] => Array ( [ee] => rr1 ) [xx] => Array ( [0] => aa1 [1] => ( [@attributes] => Array ( [plop] => huhuD ) [0]=> aa4 ) ) ) ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [zakara] => Array ( [@attributes] => Array ( [ee] => rr1 ) [xx] => Array ( [0] => aa1 [1] => aa4 ) ) ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54937&edit=1
