    <p>I'm trying to work out how to iterate though a returned SimpleXML object.</p> <p>I'm using a toolkit called <a href="http://tarzan-aws.com/" rel="noreferrer">Tarzan AWS</a>, which connects to Amazon Web Services (SimpleDB, S3, EC2, etc). I'm specifically using SimpleDB.</p> <p>I can put data into the Amazon SimpleDB service, and I can get it back. I just don't know how to handle the SimpleXML object that is returned.</p> <p>The Tarzan AWS documentation says this:</p> <blockquote> <p>Look at the response to navigate through the headers and body of the response. Note that this is an object, not an array, and that the body is a SimpleXML object.</p> </blockquote> <p>Here's a sample of the returned SimpleXML object:</p> <pre> [body] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [QueryWithAttributesResult] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [Item] => Array ( [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [Name] => message12413344443260 [Attribute] => Array ( [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [Name] => active [Value] => 1 ) [1] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [Name] => user [Value] => john ) [2] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [Name] => message [Value] => This is a message. ) [3] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [Name] => time [Value] => 1241334444 ) [4] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [Name] => id [Value] => 12413344443260 ) [5] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [Name] => ip [Value] => 10.10.10.1 ) ) ) [1] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [Name] => message12413346907303 [Attribute] => Array ( [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [Name] => active [Value] => 1 ) [1] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [Name] => user [Value] => fred ) [2] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [Name] => message [Value] => This is another message ) [3] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [Name] => time [Value] => 1241334690 ) [4] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [Name] => id [Value] => 12413346907303 ) [5] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [Name] => ip [Value] => 10.10.10.2 ) ) ) ) </pre> <p>So what code do I need to get through each of the object items? I'd like to loop through each of them and handle it like a returned mySQL query. For example, I can query SimpleDB and then loop though the SimpleXML so I can display the results on the page.</p> <p>Alternatively, how do you turn the whole shebang into an array? </p> <p>I'm new to SimpleXML, so I apologise if my questions aren't specific enough. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
