The input XML, available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/car.xml, is this:

<root>
    <car color="black" make="mercedes" model="C350" hp="302" engine="v6" type="sedan">Mercedes Benz C350</car>
</root>

Chilkat2 PHP

<?php

use Chilkat2\Xml;

$xml = new Xml();

// The sample input XML is available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/car.xml
try {
    $xml->LoadXmlFile('car.xml');
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
    exit;
}

// Navigate to the "car" node, which is the 1st child:
$carNode = $xml->FirstChild();

// Get the value of the "model" attribute:
echo 'model = ', $carNode->GetAttrValue('model'), "\n";

// Get the value of the "hp" attribute as an integer:
$horsepower = $carNode->GetAttrValueInt('hp');
echo 'horsepower = ', $horsepower, "\n";

// Iterate over the attributes and show the name/value of each:
$numAttr = $carNode->NumAttributes;

$i = 0;
while ($i < $numAttr) {
    echo $carNode->GetAttributeName($i), ': ', $carNode->GetAttributeValue($i), "\n";
    $i = $i + 1;
}
