SimpleXMLElement::attributes — Identifies an element's attributes
$ns = NULL
[, bool $is_prefix = false
]] )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.
nsAn optional namespace for the retrieved attributes
is_prefix
Default to FALSE
Returns a SimpleXMLElement object that can be iterated over to loop through the attributes on the tag.
Returns NULL if called on a SimpleXMLElement
object that already represents an attribute and not a tag.
Example #1 Interpret an XML string
<?php
$string = <<<XML
<a>
<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"
