Re: Getting XML child Elements PHP

[TAllen@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

I've not used XML within PHP much but your 2nd example shows attributes of
an XML elements and not child elements.
Adjusting your research for attributes rather than child elements may put
you on the right path.

Hi,



I have an XML file I need to parse using PHP,  and for the most part, I can
parse it fine.



So if I have something like this, it works fine, no problems:





$mydata =  simplexml_load_file($FileToOpen);



<batch>

  <Report>

   <Page1>

     <violator_last_name>ZAMBRANO</violator_last_name>

     <violator_first_name>FRANK</violator_first_name>

  </Page1>

 </report>

</batch>



And I can get the data using something like this:



$LastName             = $mydata->batch->Report-> Page1->violator_last_name;

$FirstName             = $mydata->batch->Report->Page1->
violator_first_name;







However, at the start of certain blocks of data, I have lines like this:



<Report caseID="122" number="000900006S">



The element is <Report>  but as you can see, it has child elements of
caseID
and number.



I cannot figure out how to get the values of those child elements.



This does NOT work:



$caseID             = $mydata->batch->Report-> caseID;



I have Googled this and looked around but I can't find a solution that
works.
