XML file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ew-language id="en">
<global>
<phrase id="actiondeleted" value="Deleted">
<child_phrase_1 id="1234" value="numbers">
<child id="test_id" value="test_value"/>
<child id="test_id" value="test_value_2"/>

how to get element by ID and by value so the element is unique.I tried these
$parent = ($xpath->query("//*[@id='$previous_tag_id']")&& $xpath->query("//*[@value='$previous_tag_value']"))->item(0);
----------------------AND THIS ONE-----------------------------------
$parent = $xpath->query("//*[@id='$previous_tag_id']/*@value='$previous_tag_value')"->item(0);
----------------------AND THIS ONE-----------------------------------
$xpath->query("//*[@id='$previous_tag_id' and @value='$previous_tag_value']");
each syntax is not working.
Using //*[@id='$previous_tag_id' and @value='$previous_tag_value']
should've worked, see the demo in eval.in :
$xml = <<<XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ew-language id="en">
<global>
<phrase id="actiondeleted" value="Deleted">
<child_phrase_1 id="1234" value="numbers">
<child id="test_id" value="test_value"/>
<child id="test_id" value="test_value_2"/>
</child_phrase_1>
</phrase>
</global>
</ew-language>
XML;
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->loadXML($xml);
$xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);
$previous_tag_id = "test_id";
$previous_tag_value = "test_value_2";
$result = $xpath->query("//*[@id='$previous_tag_id' and @value='$previous_tag_value']");
foreach($result as $r)
{
echo $doc->saveXML($r);
}
output :
<child id="test_id" value="test_value_2"/>
