How to access element attributes with SimpleXml?

Question

How can i, in php access the attributes values:

[photos] => SimpleXMLElement Object
    (
        [@attributes] => Array
            (
                [page] => 1
                [pages] => 1
                [perpage] => 24
                [total] => 18
            )

I have tried the following:

$photos->@attributes['total'] ;
$photos->{'@attributes'}['total'] ;

and many variations of this

Don't use `print_r()` on SimpleXMLElement. If you need to know what's inside, you use `->asXML()` on it. — Josh Davis, Jan 07 '11 at 12:13
