Just came across a bit of a time-waster in the PHP SimpleXMLElement lib.\u00a0 Usually if you’re accessing an element called, say ‘username’ you use the follwoing syntax:<\/p>\n
[code]<\/p>\n
$username = $element->username;<\/p>\n
[\/code]<\/p>\n
However if the element has a minus sign in its name, like ‘user-name’ you have to use the following syntax instead:<\/p>\n
[code]<\/p>\n
$username = $element->{‘user-name’};<\/p>\n
[\/code]<\/p>\n
If you use the original syntax no data will be returned, mad stuff, I would have wasted much more time on this if it wasn’t for this post<\/a> – Thanks for the dig-out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Just came across a bit of a time-waster in the PHP SimpleXMLElement lib.\u00a0 Usually if you’re accessing an element called, say ‘username’ you use the follwoing syntax: [code] $username = $element->username; [\/code] However if the element has a minus sign in its name, like ‘user-name’ you have to use the following syntax instead: [code] $username […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[17,36],"class_list":["post-91","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tech-stuff","tag-php","tag-xml"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
