To get attributes from a SimpleXMLElement object in PHP, you can use the attributes() method. Here's an example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 |
$xmlString = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<book category="Fiction">
<title>The Great Gatsby</title>
<author>F. Scott Fitzgerald</author>
</book>';
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlString);
$category = $xml->attributes()->category;
$title = (string) $xml->title;
$author = (string) $xml->author;
echo "Category: " . $category . "
";
echo "Title: " . $title . "
";
echo "Author: " . $author . "
";
|
Output:
1 2 3 |
Category: Fiction Title: The Great Gatsby Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald |
In this example, the attributes() method is used to retrieve the value of the "category" attribute. The (string) cast is used to convert the SimpleXMLElement object to a string for the title and author elements.
