SimpleXMLElement->attributes() — Identifies an element's attributes

Description

SimpleXMLElement

SimpleXMLElement attributes ([ string $ns [, bool $is_prefix ]] )

This function provides the attributes and values defined within an xml tag.

Note: SimpleXML has made a rule of adding iterative properties to most methods. They cannot be viewed using var_dump() or anything else which can examine objects.

Parameters

ns: An optional namespace for the retrieved attributes
is_prefix: Default to FALSE

Return Values

Examples

Example #1 Interpret an XML string


<?php

$string = <<<XML

<a xmlns:b>

 <foo name="one" game="lonely">1</foo>

</a>

XML;



$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);

foreach($xml->foo[0]->attributes() as $a => $b) {

    echo $a,'="',$b,"\"\n";

}

?>

The above example will output:

name="one"
game="lonely"
