note 99342 added to simplexmlelement.children

As I have occasion to retrieve a single data item rather than a list, I wanted a way to just grab and parse one data item from XML. Here is one way to do that: <?php echo "\n"; $XML = '<data> <USERS> <ID>alang</ID> <NAME>Alan Gruskoff</NAME> <ROLE>mgr</ROLE> </USERS> </data>'; $xmlObject = new SimpleXMLElement($XML); $node = $xmlObject->children(); echo "var_dump node\n"; var_dump($node); echo "\n"; echo "\nnode ID=". $node[0]->ID; echo "\nnode NAME=". $node[0]->NAME; echo "\nnode ROLE=". $node[0]->ROLE; echo "\n"; ?> This will show the contents of the $node child of the $xmlObject and then the specific element values. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 75.27.235.151 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/simplexmlelement.children.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/99342 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99342/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99342/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99342/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99342/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99342/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99342/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99342 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/99342 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
