note 98061 added to simplexmlelement.attributes

So lets say you have database type data in an XML string called $xmlstring with the key or item ID as an XML Attribute and all content data as regular XML Elements, as above. SimpleXML processes the Attributes as an array, so we can play along and push the Attributes into an array. Then we can get the value of any specific Attribute we want by addressing it by name, such as "ID". Considering this data: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <data> <item ID="30001"> <Company>Navarro Corp.</Company> </item> <item ID="30002"> <Company>Performant Systems</Company> </item> <item ID="30003"> <Company>Digital Showcase</Company> </item> </data> Example of listing both the ID Attribute and Company Element values: <?php $xmlObject = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstring); foreach ($xmlObject->children() as $node) { $arr = $node->attributes(); // returns an array print ("ID=".$arr["ID"]); // get the value of this attribute print (" Company=".$node->Company); print ("<p><hr>"); } ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 75.27.189.114 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/simplexmlelement.attributes.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/98061 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98061/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98061/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98061/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98061/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98061/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98061/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98061 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/98061 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
