[mohsini]

Hi Guys,
I have a XML string which i get from the form post variable. I get the xmlstring and want to parse. I get the xml well and properly. I dont have any problem in getting the XML string, but how can i get the attributes of the nodes. I'm not able to get the attributes. Please help me what am i doing wrong.

My XML string is below:

<RANK>
<DATA>
<STANDARD MARK="100" ID="A1"></STANDARD>
<OPINION RATE="34" CAT="01"></OPINION>
</DATA>
</RANK>

Now my PHP code is below

$xmlstring=$_POST["xmltxt"]; // this is the XML string which i get

$xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlstring);
foreach ($xml->children() as $child) {
foreach($child->attributes("id") as $a => $b){
echo($a." = ".$b);
}
}

This is my code, but still no output. WHat is wrong why am i not able to get the attributes.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Bye

If you want to get the attributes of STANDARD and OPINION, you need to go deeper one more level. Right now you are getting the attributes of DATA, which there are none.

Also, please enclose you PHP code in the PHP Tags for better readability.
