    The DOMAttr class

    (PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

    Introduction

    DOMAttr represents an attribute in the DOMElement object.

    Class synopsis

    class DOMAttr extends DOMNode {
    /* Properties */
    public readonly string $name;
    public readonly bool $specified = true;
    public string $value;

    }

    Properties

    name

    The name of the attribute.

    ownerElement

    The element which contains the attribute or null.

    schemaTypeInfo

    Not implemented yet, always is null.

    specified

    Not implemented yet, always is true.

    value

    The value of the attribute.

    Note:

    Note, XML entities are expanded upon setting a value. Thus the & character has a special meaning. Setting value to itself will fail when value contains an &. To avoid entity expansion, use DOMElement::setAttribute() instead.

    Please take care on debugging DOMAttr related code. This will cause an E_WARNING that retrieving schemaTypeInfo attribute is not implemented yet. An IDE like Eclipse will inspect the object and its member elements. In conjunction with registered error handlers, which will translate the E_WARNING into Exception your debugging session will end unexpectedly. This has caused me some trouble while debugging my PHPUnit test case in eclipse using "Makegood" plugin.

    A possible workarround is to deactivate the error handling during debugging using error_reporting(0). Remove the statement after finishing your debugging session.

    See also the properties from the inherited class DOMNode ( http://php.net/manual/en/class.domnode.php ), eg. namespaceURI, prefix, localName, etc, especially if you have to deal with namespaced attributes
