Write a foreach loop for array of SimpleXMLElements
- by mjames
Hi, I am using the XPath in PHP 5 to parse a XML document. The problem I have is writing a foreach to correctly display the following array:
XML document sample
value 1
value 2
$xmlfile = 'link_to_file.xml';
$xmlRaw = file_get_contents($xmlfile);
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlRaw);
$install_files = $xml->xpath('//files');
foreach($install_files as $row)
{
echo $row['file'];
}
//var_dump for $row gives the following
array(1) {
[0]=>
object(SimpleXMLElement)#21 (2) {
["file"]=>
string(12) "value 1"
["folder"]=>
string(8) "value 2"
}
}
Ideally I would like to get the value by using $row['file'] or $row['folder']. Thanks for any help.
