PHP get values from SimpleXMLElement array
- by seanp2k
I have this:
[1]=>
object(SimpleXMLElement)#6 (1) {
["@attributes"]=>
array(14) {
["name"]=>
string(5) "MySQL"
["acknowledged"]=>
string(1) "1"
["comments"]=>
string(1) "1"
["current_check_attempt"]=>
string(1) "1"
["downtime"]=>
string(1) "0"
["last_check"]=>
string(19) "2010-05-01 17:57:00"
["markdown_filter"]=>
string(1) "0"
["max_check_attempts"]=>
string(1) "3"
["output"]=>
string(42) "CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds"
["perfdata_available"]=>
string(1) "1"
["service_object_id"]=>
string(3) "580"
["state"]=>
string(8) "critical"
["state_duration"]=>
string(6) "759439"
["unhandled"]=>
string(1) "0"
}
}
(I used var_dump($child) to generate that)
How do I get the 'name' attribute out of there as a string?
Here is my code:
$xml = simplexml_load_string($results);
foreach($xml->data->list as $child) {
var_dump($child);
echo $child->getName() . ": " . $child->name . "<br />";
}
