note 97266 added to simplexmlelement.attributes

It is really simple to access attributes using array form. However, you must convert them to strings or ints if you plan on passing the values to functions. <?php SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [id] => 55555 ) [text] => "hello world" ) ?> Then using a function <?php function xml_attribute($object, $attribute) { if(isset($object[$attribute])) return (string) $object[$attribute]; } ?> I can get the "id" like this <?php print xml_attribute($xml, 'id'); //prints "55555" ?> ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 208.101.220.138 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/simplexmlelement.attributes.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/97266 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97266/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97266/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97266/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97266/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97266/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97266/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97266 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/97266 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
