Question

Hi im trying to parse XML with simplexml. The problem is i cannot access atributtes, any ideas why?

PHP code:

$xml = simplexml_load_file($source);
foreach($xml->children() as $node) {
     foreach ($node->AttrList->attributes() as $attribute) {
          print_r ($attribute);
     }
}

Answer 1

It’s not displaying anything because the <AttrList> node doesn’t have any attributes.

Did you mean?

foreach($xml->children() as $node) {
     foreach ($node->AttrList->children() as $child) {
        foreach($child->attributes() as $attribute) {
            echo $attribute->getName() , " - " , $attribute , "\n";
        }
     }
}
