Methods for Getting Attributes

See more XML Examples

Demonstrates some methods for getting attribute name/values.

The input XML, available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/car.xml, is this:

<root>
    <car color="black" make="mercedes" model="C350" hp="302" engine="v6" type="sedan">Mercedes Benz C350</car>
</root>

PHP Extension

<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$success = false;

$xml = new CkXml();

// The sample input XML is available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/car.xml
$success = $xml->LoadXmlFile('car.xml');
if ($success != true) {
    print $xml->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Navigate to the "car" node, which is the 1st child:
// carNode is a CkXml
$carNode = $xml->FirstChild();

// Get the value of the "model" attribute:
print 'model = ' . $carNode->getAttrValue('model') . "\n";

// Get the value of the "hp" attribute as an integer:
$horsepower = $carNode->GetAttrValueInt('hp');
print 'horsepower = ' . $horsepower . "\n";

// Iterate over the attributes and show the name/value of each:
$numAttr = $carNode->get_NumAttributes();

$i = 0;
while ($i < $numAttr) {
    print $carNode->getAttributeName($i) . ': ' . $carNode->getAttributeValue($i) . "\n";
    $i = $i + 1;
}
