Question

I have a XML with a node called ‘e-mail’. I use simplexml_load_file to read the file but when i want to get the row value with $row->e-mail i get just get 0 back.

What’s wrong here, all other names work fine so i think it has something to do with ‘mail’.

tnx

Answer 1

From the manual

Accessing elements within an XML
document that contain characters not
permitted under PHP’s naming
convention (e.g. the hyphen) can be
accomplished by encapsulating the
element name within braces and the
apostrophe.

echo
$xml->movie->{‘great-lines’}->line;

So you need something like

$row->{'e-mail'}
