Below examples illustrate the XMLReader::getAttribute() function in PHP:
Example 1:
data.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <body> Â Â Â Â <h1> Hello </h1> </body> |
index.php
<?php   // Create a new XMLReader instance $XMLReader = new XMLReader();   // Load the XML file $XMLReader->open('data.xml');   // Iterate through the XML while ($XMLReader->read()) {     if ($XMLReader->nodeType == XMLREADER::ELEMENT) {         // Get the value of attribute with name id         $value = $XMLReader->getAttribute('id');           // Output the value to browser         echo $value;     } } ?> |
