[RESOLVED] simple xml

[newb110508]

Hey php newb here;

Trying to parse XML document. I've commented out some failed ideas.
I see the doc in the var dump. Thanks for any info.

<?php

$nm = "log";
$log = fopen($nm, "a");
fwrite($log, "wtf.php\n");

$request_url = "simp.xml";
$xml = simplexml_load_file($request_url) or die("feed not loading");

//$rect1 = $xml->hello[0]->x;
//$rect1 = $xml->the->hello[0]->x;
$rect1 = $xml->the->hello[0]['x'];
fwrite($log, $rect1);

var_dump($xml);

?>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<the>
<hello x="world" y="10" />
<hello x="moon" y="50" />
</the>

There may be a more compact way of doing this, but it works:

$xml = simplexml_load_file($request_url) or die("feed not loading");
$hello = $xml->hello[0];
$attrs = $hello->attributes();
echo "Hello, " . $attrs['x'];

That works.
forward into the unknown.

Thanks man!

$xml = simplexml_load_file($request_url) or die("feed not loading");
$hello = $xml->hello[0];
$attrs = $hello->attributes();
echo "Hello, " . $attrs['x'];
