I am having a problem accessing the @attribute
section of my SimpleXML object. When I var_dump
the entire object, I get the correct output, and wh
It helped me to convert the result of simplexml_load_file($file) into a JSON Structure and decode it back:
$xml = simplexml_load_file("$token.xml");
$json = json_encode($xml);
$xml_fixed = json_decode($json);
$try1 = $xml->structure->{"@attributes"}['value'];
print_r($try1);
>> result: SimpleXMLElement Object
(
)
$try2 = $xml_fixed->structure->{"@attributes"}['value'];
print_r($try2);
>> result: stdClass Object
(
[key] => value
)
You can get the attributes of an XML element by calling the attributes() function on an XML node. You can then var_dump the return value of the function.
More info at php.net http://php.net/simplexmlelement.attributes
Example code from that page:
$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);
foreach($xml->foo[0]->attributes() as $a => $b) {
echo $a,'="',$b,"\"\n";
}
