This question already has an answer here:
My problem is similar to this one
How do I access a PHP object attribute having a dollar sign?
but I have an @ (at) sign instead of a dollar.
The object is this:
object(SimpleXMLElement)#8 (1) {
["@attributes"]=> array(3) {
["type"]=> string(9) "image/png"
["href"]=> string(62) "http://someurl.com/images/193/image_normal.jpg"
["rel"]=> string(5) "image"
}
}
and I have to access the @attributes variable (the href component, really), but PHP doesn't allow such a syntax:
$object->@attributes
Following the cited resource, I tried either this way:
$object->{'@attributes'};
or
$myvar = '@attributes';
$object->$myvar;
but neither of the two forms leads to access the variable. It prints:
object(SimpleXMLElement)#8 (0) {}
while I would expect a vector.
Any idea? thanks

Its is attributes see SimpleXMLElement::attributes for more information
Example
foreach($xml->attributes() as $a => $b) {
echo $a,'="',$b,"\"
";
}
In normal cases $object->{'@attributeName'} - to ask your question.
But, you want to get an xml element's attribute, with SimpleXMLElement - which is done like this:
$attributeValue = (string) $xmlElement['attributeName'];
