SimpleXMLElement::attributes

(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

SimpleXMLElement::attributesIdentifie les attributs d'un élément

Description

public SimpleXMLElement::attributes(?string $namespaceOrPrefix = null, bool $isPrefix = false): ?SimpleXMLElement

Fournit les attributs et les valeurs définies dans une balise XML.

Note: SimpleXML ajoute des propriétés itératives pour presque toutes ses méthodes. Celles-ci ne peuvent être vues en utilisant var_dump() ou tout autre fonction qui examine les objets.

Liste de paramètres

namespaceOrPrefix

Un espace de noms optionnel pour les attributs récupérés

isPrefix

Par défaut, vaut false

Valeurs de retour

Retourne un objet SimpleXMLElement permettant de retrouver tous les attributs d'une balise.

Retourne null si appelé sur un objet SimpleXMLElement qui représente déjà un attribut et non une balise.

Exemples

Exemple #1 Interprétation d'une chaîne XML

<?php
$string
= <<<XML
<a>
<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";
}
?>

L'exemple ci-dessus va afficher :

name="one"
game="lonely"

It is really simple to access attributes using array form. However, you must convert them to strings or ints if you plan on passing the values to functions.

<?php
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[@
attributes] => Array
(
[
id] => 55555
)

[
text] => "hello world"
)
?>

Then using a function

<?php
function xml_attribute($object, $attribute)
{
if(isset(
$object[$attribute]))
return (string)
$object[$attribute];
}
?>

I can get the "id" like this

<?php
print xml_attribute($xml, 'id'); //prints "55555"
?>

Note that you must provide the namespace if you want to access an attribute of a non-default namespace:

Consider the following example:

<?php
$xml
= <<<XML
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet">
<Table Foo="Bar" ss:ExpandedColumnCount="7">
</Table>
</Workbook>
XML;

$sxml = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);

/**
* Access attribute of default namespace
*/
var_dump((string) $sxml->Table[0]['Foo']);
// outputs: 'Bar'

/**
* Access attribute of non-default namespace
*/
var_dump((int) $sxml->Table[0]['ExpandedColumnCount']);
// outputs: 0

var_dump((int) $sxml->Table[0]->attributes('ss', TRUE)->ExpandedColumnCount);
// outputs: '7'
?>

<?php
$att
= 'attribueName';

// You can access an element's attribute just like this :
$attribute = $element->attributes()->$att;

// This will save the value of the attribute, and not the objet
$attribute = (string)$element->attributes()->$att;

// You also can edit it this way :
$element->attributes()->$att = 'New value of the attribute';
?>

Tip to get a real array of all attributes of a node (not SimpleXML's object acting like an array)

<?php
//- $node is a SimpleXMLElement object

$atts_object = $node->attributes(); //- get all attributes, this is not a real array
$atts_array = (array) $atts_object; //- typecast to an array

//- grab the value of '@attributes' key, which contains the array your after
$atts_array = $atts_array['@attributes'];

var_dump($atts_object); //- outputs object(SimpleXMLElement)[19]
//- public '@attributes' => ...

var_dump($atts_array); //- outputs array (size=11) ...

?>
Hope this helps!

Easiest and safest way to get attributes as an array is to use the iterator_to_array function (see http://php.net/manual/en/function.iterator-to-array.php):

<?php
$x
= new SimpleXMLElement('<div class="myclass" id="myid"/>');
$attributes = iterator_to_array($x->attributes());
?>

Use attributes to display when it meets certain condition defined attribute / value in xml tags.

Use atributos para exibir quando atende determinada condição definida atributo / valor em tags XML.

Consider the following example:
Considere o seguinte exemplo:

(file.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<list>
<item type="Language">
<name>PHP</name>
<link>www.php.net</link>
</item>
<item type="Database">
<name>Java</name>
<link>www.oracle.com/br/technologies/java/‎</link>
</item>
</list>

Checks if the attribute value equals "Language", if equal prints everything that is related to "Language".

Verifica se o valor do atributo é igual a "Language", se for, imprime tudo o que for relativo ao mesmo.

<?php

$xml
= simplexml_load_file("file.xml");

foreach(
$xml->children() as $child) {

$role = $child->attributes();

foreach(
$child as $key => $value) {

if(
$role == "Language")
echo(
"[".$key ."] ".$value . "<br />");

}
}
?>

output:
saída:

[name] PHP
[link] www.php.net
