How do I set an existing SimpleXMLElement attribute?

I am running the following code:

$attributes = $xmlTable2->attributes();
foreach ($attributes as $key => $value) {
    $xmlTable1->addAttribute($key, $value);
}

But it causes an error:

Warning: SimpleXMLElement::addAttribute(): Attribute already exists in ... on line 100
Buildfile: /.../vendor/propel/propel1/generator/build.xml

How do I override the value of an existing attribute?

Easiest way is to just use the attributes() function that is part of the SimpleXML object on the element you want to get the attributes for.

$xmlTable1->elementYouWantAttrsFor->attributes()->attrName = newAttrValue;

or if each $xmlTable1 element is what you want

$xmlTable1->attributes()->attrName = newAttrValue;

Here is the documentation. The comments show how to do this.
