Answer 1

Guys funnily i found best solution

<?php 
$attrs = $xml7->topalbums->attributes();
echo $attrs["total"];
?>

Answer 2

One basic way would be to use a regular expression:

preg_match('/artist="([^"]*)"\\s*page="([^"]*)"\\s*perPage="([^"]*)"\\s*totalPages="([^"]*)"/', $lastfm_input, $result);
# $result[1] = name value
# $result[2] = page value
# $result[3] = perPage value
# $result[4] = totalPages value

If the order of the attributes (like perPage) changes you have to use multiple regexes.

Answer 3

$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadXML($xml);
$topAlbums = $dom->getElementsByTagName('topalbums')->item(0);
$artist = $topAlbums->getAttribute('artist');
echo $artist; // outputs Adele
