SimpleXML Attributes to Array

Question

Is there any more elegant way to escape SimpleXML attributes to an array?

$result = $xml->xpath( $xpath );
$element = $result[ 0 ];
$attributes = (array)

I think you will have to loop through. You can get it into array once you read xml.

 $value) {
        if (is_object($value) || is_array($value)) {
            $value = objectsIntoArray($value, $arrSkipIndices); // recursive call
        }
        if (in_array($index, $arrSkipIndices)) {
            continue;
        }
        $arrData[$index] = $value;
    }
}
return $arrData;
}

$xmlStr = file_get_contents($xml_file);
$xmlObj = simplexml_load_string($xmlStr);
$arrXml = objectsIntoArray($xmlObj);

foreach($arrXml as $attr)
  foreach($attr as $key->$val){
 if($key == '@attributes') ....
}
