Access @attributes data in SimpleXMLElement in PHP

Question

Just wanted to start by saying I have read a LOT of the questions on this site about this exact problem, but I\'m still struggling to apply it to my scenari

Answer 1

Did you try:

echo (string)$xml->product->attributes()->id;

That should give you access to the attributes.

If you have more than 1 product, it may be

echo (string)$xml->product[0]->attributes()->id;

You can also access the attributes using regular array notation such as:

$xml->product['id']; // instead of $xml->product->attributes()->id

See Example #5 from the SimpleXML Examples as well as the manual page on SimpleXMLElement::attributes() for more information.

Answer 2

$array = (array)$obj;
$prop_id = $array['@attributes'];
