[SOLVED] simplexml while loop == Call to member function attribues() on a non-object

[Serenitee]

I found simplexml and have been working with it instead of writing my own parser and all is fine until this area:

 

$count = count($file->characters->character);
$i = "0";
while($i <= $count)
{print $file->characters->character[$i]->attributes()->name;
echo "<br>";
print $file->characters->character[$i]->id;
echo "<br>";
print $file->characters->character[$i]->server;
echo "<br>";
print $file->characters->character[$i]->class;
echo "<br>";}

 

specifically:

print $file->characters->character[$i]->attributes()->name;

Will return this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function attributes() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\penguin\xmlparse.php on line 110

 

 

If I change the $i to 0 (or 1, 2.. 77), ie:

print $file->characters->character[16]->attributes()->name;

it will return the name from that node (obviously for each instance).  This is only occurring with the attributes areas, but my googlefu is not bringing anything up that explains it.

 

Any thoughts?

uh, shouldn't $i = 0, not $i = "0"?

LOL, I could kiss you if I weren't laughing so hard (and, well.. assuming you wouldn't freak out having a stranger kiss ya).

 

Thank you!  You rock for seeing that.
