Xpath and simplexml

Jun 11 '15, 08:34 AM

I have this result when i do var_dump to $xml

Code:

`object(SimpleXMLElement)[257]
  public '@attributes' => 
    array (size=1)
      'seq' => string '290' (length=3)
  public 'FIN' => 
    object(SimpleXMLElement)[256]
      public '@attributes' => 
        array (size=1)
          'seq' => string '261' (length=3)
      public 'VAL' => string '1' (length=1)
      public 'ATT' => 
        array (size=11)
          0 => 
            object(SimpleXMLElement)[255]`

i need select with simplexml which seq have value 290

i do that

Code:

$seq=$xmlglobtech->xpath("//GROUP[@seq='290']/FIN/REM")

i do var_dump($seq) i have that

no anything array(size=0) empty

Thanks in advance

you say that the dump is from $xml, but the code shows an XPath request to $xmlglobtech.

additionally, the SimpleXML object dump you showed is incomplete.

the SimpleXML object you showed does not contain a <GROUP> element (as required per XPath).

the SimpleXML object you showed looks like it is the targeted <GROUP> element, but is does not contain a <REM> element, though that may be due to the incomplete dump.
