Re: [PHP] PHP 5: SimpleXML attributes

[Red Wingate]

So, this one will work out quite well ( maybe one should take
a look at the documentation of attributes() :-)
foreach ( $xml->lib_error->param AS $param ) {
    $n = 0 ;
    while ( is_object ( $xml->lib_error->param[$n] ) ) {
        foreach( $xml->lib_error->param[$n]->attributes() AS $a => $b ){
            echo $a .' --> '. $b .'<br>';
        }
        $n++;
    }
}

I think you mean that would output 'error_logfile_write'. However, what 
I'm asking is if it's possible to iterate over the SimpleXML node 
attributes 'name' and 'type', without knowing ahead of time that 'name' 
and 'type' are expected associative keys. There is an attributes() class 
method, but that just returns a numerically indexed array of the 
attribute values:

Array (
    [0] => 'error_logfile_write',
    [1] => 'boolean'
)
What I want is:

Array (
    ['name'] => 'error_logfile_write',
    ['type'] => 'boolean'
)
Thanks!

Hello,

I have what I hope to be a simple question about SimpleXML. Is it 
possible to get the attributes of a SimpleXML node as an associative 
array?

Consider the following:

<?php
$sxe = simplexml_load_string('<root attr="value"/>');
print_r($sxe->attributes());
// Gives: simplexml_element Object ( [0] => value )
?>
Is there some way to find out that 'value' is the attribute called 
'attr'? In other words, can I iterate over SimpleXML attributes 
without losing track of what their attribute name is? Or is this a 
case where I should switch over to DOM?
