SimpleXMLElement->attributes — Identifiziert die Attribute eines Elements
Beschreibung
SimpleXMLElement
SimpleXMLElement attributes
([ string $ns
[, bool $is_prefix
]] )
Die Funktion liefert die Attribute und Werte, die innerhalb eines XML-Tags definiert wurden.
Hinweis: SimpleXML definiert für die meisten Methoden Regeln für das Hinzufügen von iterativen Eigenschaften. Diese können weder mit var_dump() oder auf andere Weise angezeigt werden.
Parameter-Liste
- ns
-
Ein optionaler Namespace für das abgefragte Attribut.
- is_prefix
-
Standardmäßig auf FALSE gesetzt.
Rückgabewerte
Beispiele
Beispiel #1 Einen XML-String auswerten
<?php
$string = <<<XML
<a xmlns:b>
<foo name="one" game="lonely">1</foo>
</a>
XML;
$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);
foreach($xml->foo[0]->attributes() as $a => $b) {
echo $a,'="',$b,"\"\n";
}
?>
Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:
name="one" game="lonely"

For the silly looping getAttribute function below, substitute:
<?php
public function getAttribute($name){
$attrs = $this->attributes();
return $attrs[$name];
}
?>

I expanded a bit (not very impressive, I admit) on the user submitted class for extending simple xml.
Below are some nice quick and dirty additional class functions I have needed to manage the back end for plugging in flash parameters to dynamic actionscripted .swf files needing this xml data generated dynamically and with working variable xml content data that the client maintains (yikes!). Probably need some bad character checking in here somewhere?
<?php
$xml_data = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO8859-1" ?>
<root>
<image name="Banner 1" file="pic1.jpg" />
<image name="Banner 2" file="pic2.jpg" />
<image name="Banner 3" file="pic3.jpg" />
<image name="Banner 4" file="pic4.jpg" />
</root>';
class SimpleXMLElementExtended extends SimpleXMLElement{
public function getAttribute($name){
foreach($this->attributes() as $key=>$val){
if($key == $name){
return (string)$val;
}// end if
}// end foreach
}// end function getAttribute
public function getAttributeNames(){
$cnt = 0;
$arrTemp = array();
foreach($this->attributes() as $a => $b) {
$arrTemp[$cnt] = (string)$a;
$cnt++;
}// end foreach
return (array)$arrTemp;
}// end function getAttributeNames
public function getChildrenCount(){
$cnt = 0;
foreach($this->children() as $node){
$cnt++;
}// end foreach
return (int)$cnt;
}// end function getChildrenCount
public function getAttributeCount(){
$cnt = 0;
foreach($this->attributes() as $key=>$val){
$cnt++;
}// end foreach
return (int)$cnt;
}// end function getAttributeCount
public function getAttributesArray($names){
$len = count($names);
$arrTemp = array();
for($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++){
$arrTemp[$names[$i]] = $this->getAttribute((string)$names[$i]);
}// end for
return (array)$arrTemp;
}// end function getAttributesArray
}
$xml2 = new SimpleXMLElementExtended($xml_data);
print('<pre>');
print('NUMBER OF CHILDREN: '.$xml2->getChildrenCount());
print('</pre>');
print('<pre>');
print('ATTRIBUTE COUNT PER CHILD: '.$xml2->image[0]->getAttributeCount());
print('</pre>');
print('<pre>');
print('CHILD 0 ATTRIBUTE "name": '.$xml2->image[0]->getAttribute('name'));
print('</pre>');
print('<pre>');
print('CHILD 0 ATTRIBUTE "file": '.$xml2->image[0]->getAttribute('file'));
print('</pre>');
$arrTemp = array('name', 'file');
$arrResult = array();
$arrResult = $xml2->image[0]->getAttributesArray($arrTemp);
print('<pre>');
print('CHILD 0 ATTRIBUTE ARRAY: "name,file":<br>');
print(var_dump($arrResult));
print('</pre>');
$arrResult = array();
$arrResult = $xml2->image[0]->getAttributeNames();
print('<pre>');
print('CHILD 0 ATTRIBUTE NAMES ARRAY:<br>');
print(var_dump($arrResult));
print('</pre>');
print('<hr>');
$arrCompiled = array();
$arrCompiled = $xml2->image[0]->getAttributesArray($arrResult);
print('<pre>');
print('CHILD 0 DYNAMIC COMPILED ATTRIBUTE ARRAY: "key,value"<br>');
print(var_dump($arrCompiled));
print('</pre>');
?>
Outputs something along these lines below:
NUMBER OF CHILDREN: 4
ATTRIBUTE COUNT PER CHILD: 2
CHILD 0 ATTRIBUTE "name": Banner 1
CHILD 0 ATTRIBUTE "file": pic1.jpg
CHILD 0 ATTRIBUTE ARRAY: "name,file":
array(2) {
["name"]=>
string(8) "Banner 1"
["file"]=>
string(8) "pic1.jpg"
}
CHILD 0 ATTRIBUTE NAMES ARRAY:
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(4) "name"
[1]=>
string(4) "file"
}
CHILD 0 DYNAMIC COMPILED ATTRIBUTE ARRAY: "key,value"
array(2) {
["name"]=>
string(8) "Banner 1"
["file"]=>
string(8) "pic1.jpg"
}
I'm sure there is more to add/revise/simplify, but it's a fast start to working with fairly simple xml schema/structures.
Would be interested is anyone knows of how we could revise this class to say perhaps evaluate the nodes AND attributes for the same xml element... like image id attribute with say 4 image file name elements?
Peace.

You can also access the node as an array to get attributes:
<?php
$xml = simplexml_load_file('file.xml');
echo 'Attribute: ' . $xml['attribute'];
?>

PHP5:: I think this is a fine solution to get the attributes easier...
<?php
class EFXMLElement extends SimpleXMLElement {
function attributes() {
return new EFXMLAttributes(parent::attributes());
}
}
class EFXMLAttributes {
private $attributes;
function __construct($attributes) {
$this->attributes = $attributes;
}
function __get($name) {
if (isset($this->attributes[$name])) {
return $this->attributes[$name];
} else {
return false;
}
}
}
if (file_exists('pref.xml')) {
$tst = new EFXMLElement(file_get_contents('pref.xml'));
var_dump($tst->plugins->plugin[0]->attributes()->name);
} else {
exit('Failed to open test.xml.');
}
?>

Namespace handling example:
------------------------------------
test.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Workbook xmlns="http://url1" xmlns:ss="http://url2">
<Worksheet ss:Name="English">

</Workbook>
script.php:
$xml_file = 'test.xml';
$xml = simplexml_load_file($xml_file);
foreach($xml->Worksheet->attributes('http://url2')
as $a => $b) {
echo $a,'="',$b,"\"\n";
}

BTW, It occurs to me that why do you need the function anyway? You just access it directly as (string) $object[$attribute].

Why bother iterating over all the elements when they are already indexed? something like...
function simplexml_find_attribute(SimpleXMLElement $element, $attributeName) {
$attrs = $element->attributes();
if (isset($attrs[$attributeName])) {
return (string) $attrs[$attributeName];
}
return false;
}

In reply to inge at elektronaut dot no's function:
Notice that this function returns an object, and not
a string. This is quite hard to notice at first, because
if you validate the return against a string, it will return
true:
print findAttribute($Fox, "foo") == "bar"? "Matches.":"Won't match."; // "Matches."
But, if you attempt to use the return for indexing in an array, like:
$MyArray[findattribute($Fox, "foo")] = "bar";
You will get an illegal offset type-error.
------
To correct this, we force-cast the return as a string:
function findAttribute($object, $attribute) {
foreach($object->attributes() as $a => $b) {
if ($a == $attribute) {
$return = $b;
}
}
if($return) {
return (string)$return;
}
}

here's a simple function to get an attribute by name, based on the example
<?php
function findAttribute($object, $attribute) {
foreach($object->attributes() as $a => $b) {
if ($a == $attribute) {
$return = $b;
}
}
if($return) {
return $return;
}
}
?>
