note 89391 added to function.simplexml-element-attributes

It's helpful if you don't think of 'SimpleXML' as 'DOM' because it's not. SimpleXML is an 'Object Mapping XML API', which means it converts the XML elements into the native data types used by PHP. So attributes on an 'element' are accessible using standard array notation: $simplexml->path->to->descendant['attribute-name'] Dead simple, pun intended ;) skerr at mojavi dot org nailed it in post #7. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 86.129.181.146 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-element-attributes.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/89391 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89391/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89391/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89391/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89391/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89391/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89391/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89391 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/89391 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
