PHP and XML: How to retrieve attributes in XML -
here xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <items> <itemgroup name="atm" column="1" sort="0"> <item formid="atm 01" description="option teller balance sheet - atm dept. ordering only" unit="cello 500"/> </itemgroup> <itemgroup name="data processing" column="1"> <item formid="aacu 01" description="receipt voucher - 2 part" unit="3600/box"/> <item formid="aacu 04" description="contract collection statement" unit="as req."/> <item formid="aacu 07" description="1-part receipt voucher - cont. feed form" unit="5000/box"/> <item formid="aacu 08" description="share ira certificate" unit="2200/box"/> <item formid="aacu 15" description="pta pin mailer" unit="1800/box"/> <item formid="aacu 15b" description="online access pin mailer" unit="2500/box"/> </itemgroup> </items> i know need use code such this:
$xml_file = "aacu-data.xml"; $xml = simplexml_load_file($xml_file); but need know how can retrieve attributes such description , unit formid="aacu 07" , able assign 2 variables such $description , $unit.
with modifications got work:
$xml_file = "aacu-data.xml"; $xml = simplexml_load_file($xml_file); foreach($xml->itemgroup $itemgroup) { foreach($itemgroup->children() $items) { echo $items->attributes()->formid . "<br>"; echo $items->attributes()->description . "<br>"; echo $items->attributes()->unit . "<br>"; } }:
you can access value using attributes() method
foreach($xml->itemgroup[1]->attributes() $a => $b) { .... } to convert xml array
function xml2array($xmlobject){ $out = array(); foreach ( (array) $xmlobject $index => $node ){ if( is_object($node) , empty($node)){ $out[$index] = ''; }else{ $out[$index] = ( is_object ( $node ) ) ? xml2array ( $node ) : $node; } } return $out; }
