[PHP] Return XML attribute in DOM
I'm at my wits end here, so close to the finishing line! Is there a method to return an attribute value of an XML node using DOM, I can check to see if an attribute exists using hasAttributes() But I can't retrieve the value. I'm so desperate i've started to eat dirt. Many thanks, Matt

Re: [PHP] Return XML attribute in DOM
Doesn't the DOM have the getAttribute() method?
Thanks,

It's not in my reference, though I see it in the PHP manual now.
This is what I have:
_
$dom = new DomDocument();
$dom -> load("items.xml");
$topics = $dom -> getElementsByTagName("item");
echo("");
foreach ($topics as $node )
{
echo("". $node -> hasAttributes() ."");
}
echo("");
__
I'm replacing hasAttributes() with getAttribute() but its throwing me
an error, I'm probably using it incorrectly.
I think I'm drowning in the deep end =/
Could you advise Gamesmaster ?

It's a method on DomElement:
http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.domelement-get-attribute.php
and you need to tell it which attribute to get... :)
