Counting Attributes

[thejargen]

Hi,

 

Im making a script which will parse a XML feed.

 

The problem is i cant work out a way to count the attributes (I believe they are called attributes), for example:

 

<STOCK Color="Black" Size="Small">In Stock</STOCK> Has 2 Attributes

 

<STOCK Color="Black" Size="Small" Animal="Dog">In Stock</STOCK> Has 3 Attributes

 

But i cant find any way to count them. I am using SimpleXML

 

Any help?

 

Thanks.

SimpleXMLElement::attributes should be what you need.. If you want to post the xml, I may be able to help you out more.

You should be able to do something like:

$attribute_count = count($xml->attributes());

That worked. Thanks!
