Parser doesn't see attributes for tags that have a raw value

[LilyBergonzatOld]

When I have a node that looks like this:

...
        <Value Language="fr">
            <StringValue>My string</StringValue>
        </Value>
...

The parsing is correct, I basically get

$node = [
    '@attributes' => [
        'Language' => 'fr'
    ],
    'StringValue' => 'My string'
];

BUT when I have a node that have an attribute and a raw value (not his value in another tag, just the value), like this:

...
    <RefAttr>
        <AttrCode>MyAttribute</AttrCode>
        <RefValue Field1="70">VALUE1</RefValue>
        <RefValue Field1="30">VALUE2</RefValue>
    </RefAttr>
...

Then the parsing is missing the attributes, here's what I get in that case:

$node = [
    'AttrCode' => 'MyAttribute',
    'RefValue' => [
        'VALUE1',
        'VALUE2'
    ]
];

The @attributes entry is missing, I lose that value. Am I missing something?

The library itself just captures the nodes, it doesn't meddle with the attributes. It captures them as strings, which is what you'll get back when you do while ($xmlStr = $streamer->getNode()) {.

You can print out that string ($xmlStr) if you'd like and you'll see that the attributes are still there.

What you seem to be having problems with is SimpleXML.

Anyway, here's a working example that should illustrate how to use attributes in SimpleXML:

test.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
    <RefAttr>
        <AttrCode>MyAttribute</AttrCode>
        <RefValue Field1="70">VALUE1</RefValue>
        <RefValue Field1="30">VALUE2</RefValue>
    </RefAttr>
    <RefAttr>
        <AttrCode>MyAttribute</AttrCode>
        <RefValue Field1="60">VALUE1</RefValue>
        <RefValue Field1="40">VALUE2</RefValue>
    </RefAttr>
</root>

test.php

<?php
require_once("vendor/autoload.php");

$streamer = Prewk\XmlStringStreamer::createStringWalkerParser("test.xml");

while ($xmlStr = $streamer->getNode()) {
  // $xmlStr is here exactly one RefAttr node, in string format
  $node = simplexml_load_string($xmlStr);
  // $node is here a SimpleXMLElement of that RefAttr node

  echo (string)$node->RefValue[0]["Field1"] . "\n";
  echo (string)$node->RefValue[1]["Field1"] . "\n";
}
