$nc_return->CommandResponse->DomainCheckResult->{'@attributes'} *// dont work*

Answer 1

use $object->attibuteName->attributes()->yourAttributeYouWant

straight from documentation http://www.php.net/manual/en/simplexmlelement.attributes.php

Example

<?php
$string = <<<XML
<a>
 <foo name="one" game="lonely">1</foo>
</a>
XML;

$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);
foreach($xml->foo[0]->attributes() as $a => $b) {
    echo $a,'="',$b,"\"\n";
}
?>

Output

name="one"
game="lonely"
