Retrieve value from an object

I have an object and like to retrieve the value of one or more elements from the object. Hire is one of the objects if put in a var_dump().

object(SimpleXMLElement)#13 (2) {
  ["@attributes"]=>
  array(1) {
    ["name"]=>
    string(5) "chain"
  }
  ["value"]=>
  string(11) "Abba Hotels"
}

I get the value but i can not get to the name.

To get the value i use for example: 

echo $row->property->value

My first thought was to use: 

echo $row->property->@attributes->name

, but it return as a ERROR. I try to use @attributes in a variable but that gives a NULL.

At second thought i tried to use get_object_vars() and in_array() but no luck again.

Do you guys have a idea about how i can get to the value of the "name" object?

It looks like you are using a property value from somewhere. If $row is the object, then you could use this I think.

$row->@attritubes['name']

Im not fully sure but thought id give it a go helping anyawy. Let me know if it works.

See the docs for SimpleXMLElement:

$object->attributes()

Will give you what you need. I.e.

echo $object->attributes()->name;
