XML attributes 1

[wangbar]

I can find plenty of information about parsing the separate nodes in an XML file using Expat and have got some code running successfully but can't find any hints on how to parse the attributes of a particular node.

I know that attributes are passed as the third parameter into the "opening tag" function but can't get anything meaningful out of them.

Any tips? Slainte

What do you use to parse the XML?

I use a class i got from the web to parse the XML files. I don't have it right now, but reading the manual, i found the function xml_parse_into_struct. Doesn't it helps you? Anikin

I'm using the built in parser set up using "xml_parser_create" then I'm using three functions: one triggered on every opening tag, one on the closing tag and one to read the content between them.

This all works great for accessing and parsing the individual nodes but I'll try your suggestion and see how it goes for picking up attributes... Slainte

sometime ago i was doing some tests and i could reach something like this:

$xml=implode("",file("share.xml&quot);
$dom=xmldoc($xml);
$root=domxml_root($dom);
$child=domxml_children($root);
while(list(,$value)=each($child)){
if (get_class($value)==&quot;DomElement&quot echo domxml_get_attribute($value,&quot;cod&quot.&quot;-&quot;.$value->get_content().&quot;<br>&quot;;
}

This way i was able to get all attributes.
