How to merge objects in php ?
- by The Devil
Hey everybody,
I'm currently re-writing a class which handles xml files.
Depending on the xml file and it's structure I sometimes need to merge objects.
Lets say once I have this:
<page name="a title"/>
And another time I have this:
<page name="a title">
<permission>administrator</permission>
</page>
Before, I needed only the attributes from the "page" element. That's why a lot of my code expects an object containing only the attributes ($loadedXml-attributes()).
Now there are xml files in which the
<permission>
element is required.
I did manage to merge the objects (though not as I wanted) but I can't get to access one of them (most probably it's something I'm missing).
To merge my objects I used this code:
(object) array_merge(
(array) $loadedXml->attributes(),
(array) $loadedXml->children()
);
This is what I get from print_r():
stdClass Object (
[@attributes] => Array ( [name] => a title )
[permission] => Array ( [0] => administrator )
)
So now my question is how to access the @attributes method ?
Thanks in advance,
The Devil
