[RESOLVED] simple xml

[blackhorse]

I know we should avoid "-" characters in xml tag name. But I need to parse a 3rd party xml with "-" characters in xml tag name.

I am trying to use simplexml to read xml data like this

<questions>

<question>

<created-at type="datetime">2008-11-20T15:31:01-05:00</created-at>

</question>
<questions>

So my simplexml code is

$question_xml =  new SimpleXMLElement('http://www.mysite.com/mydoc.xml', NULL, TRUE);



foreach($question_xml->question as $question)
{

    $question['created_at'] = $question ->created-at;

}

The problem is

$question ->created-at

is not a valid name.

How do you refer to the member variable with the name like "create-at"?

Thanks!

See Example 3 in the manual under "[man]SimpleXML[/man] Examples, Basic Usage".

Thanks!

I tried {}, and I tried '', but didn't try to use them together.
