PHP get values from SimpleXMLElement array

Question

I have this:

  [1]=>
object(SimpleXMLElement)#6 (1) {
  [\"@attributes\"]=>
  array(14) {
    [\"name\"]=>
    string(5) \"MySQL\"
    [\"acknowledg         


        

Answer 1

Kind of messy, but I used this successfully

foreach($xml->data->children() as $child) {
//var_dump($child);
    foreach ($child->attributes() as $a => $b) {
     echo $a . '=' . $b . '
';
    }
}

Not sure why, but the OpsView API returns a two-dimensional array instead of just having one value per XML node :(

echo $child['name'];

works and is much more elegant, thank you.
