get an array of all a products attributes in magento

Question

I cannot figure this out!

I am trying to get a list of a products attributes into an array on the list.phtml page. I have tried everything. I have seen a lot of solution

According to your question, you should be using Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_attribute_collection') instead:

$productAttrs = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_attribute_collection');

foreach ($productAttrs as $productAttr) { /** @var Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute $productAttr */
    var_dump($productAttr->getAttributeCode());
}

You don't always have attributes in the _data (getData()) storage and you don't always need to load a product to get its attributes.
