Accessing @attribute from SimpleXML

I am having a problem accessing the @attribute section of my SimpleXML object. When I var_dump the entire object, I get the correct output, and when I var_dump the rest of the object (the nested tags), I get the correct output, but when I follow the docs and var_dump $xml->OFFICE->{'@attributes'}, I get an empty object, despite the fact that the first var_dump clearly shows that there are attributes to output.

Anyone know what I am doing wrong here/how I can make this work?

I want to extract string (just Song title and Artist name) from external xml file: https://nostalgicfm.ro/NowOnAir.xml This form of xml:

 <Schedule System="Jazler">
     <Event status="happening" startTime="20:31:20" eventType="song">
        <Announcement Display=""/>
      <Song title="Let It Be ">
       <Artist name="Beatles">
        <Media runTime="265.186"/>
        <Expire Time="20:35:45"/>
       </Artist>
      </Song>
     </Event>
    </Schedule>

I try this code PHP but i don't know how to extract name & title...like "Beatles - Let It Be"

  <?php
    $url = "https://nostalgicfm.ro/NowOnAir.xml";
    $xml = simplexml_load_file($url);
    print_r($xml);
    ?>

Result is an Oject:

 SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [System] => Jazler ) [Event] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [status] => happening [startTime] => 20:51:21 [eventType] => song ) [Announcement] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [Display] => ) ) [Song] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [title] => If You Were A Sailboat ) [Artist] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [name] => Katie Melua ) [Media] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [runTime] => 228.732 ) ) [Expire] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( [@attributes] => Array ( [Time] => 20:55:09 ) ) ) ) ) )

Resolved it myself:

<?php 
$url = 'https://nostalgicfm.ro/NowOnAir.xml'; 
$xml = simplexml_load_file($url); 
foreach ( $xml->Event->Song->Artist->attributes() as $tag => $value ); 
foreach ( $xml->Event->Song->attributes() as $tag => $value1 ) { 
echo $value." - ".$value1.PHP_EOL; } 
?>
