PHP | DOMNamedNodeMap item() function

The DOMNamedNodeMap::item() function is an inbuilt function in PHP which is used to retrieve a node specified by index. This function is used to get a specific attribute from an element and further we can get the name or value of that attribute as per requirements.

Syntax:

DOMNamedNodeMap DOMNamedNodeMap::item( int $index )

Parameters:This function accepts a single parameter $index which holds the index.

Return Value: This function returns a node at the index’th position in the map.

Below given programs illustrate the DOMNamedNodeMap::item() function in PHP:
Program 1: In this example, we will get the name of attributes after fetching them using index()




<?php
// Create a new DOMDocument
$dom = new DOMDocument();
    
// Load the XML
$dom->loadXML("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>
<root>
    <html>
        <h1 id=\"first\" 
            class=\"first\" attrib=\"attrib_value\"> Geeksforneveropen </h1>
    </html>
</root>");
    
// Get the elements
$node = $dom->getElementsByTagName('h1')[0];
    
// Get the 2nd attribute's value
$attribute1 = $node->attributes->item(0)->nodeName;
$attribute2 = $node->attributes->item(1)->nodeName;
$attribute3 = $node->attributes->item(2)->nodeName;
echo "$attribute1, $attribute2 and $attribute3";
?>


Output:

id, class and attrib

Program 2: In this example we will get the value of attributes after fetching them using index()




<?php
// Create a new DOMDocument
$dom = new DOMDocument();
    
// Load the XML
$dom->loadXML("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>
<root>
    <html>
        <h1 id=\"first\" 
            class=\"neveropen\" attrib=\"attrib_value\"> Geeksforneveropen </h1>
    </html>
</root>");
    
// Get the elements
$node = $dom->getElementsByTagName('h1')[0];
    
// Get the 2nd attribute's value
$attribute1 = $node->attributes->item(0)->nodeValue;
$attribute2 = $node->attributes->item(1)->nodeValue;
$attribute3 = $node->attributes->item(2)->nodeValue;
echo "$attribute1, $attribute2 and $attribute3";
?>


Output:
