I'm using SimpleXML to parse my xml file. I'm looping through it and in each node I need to get value of one specific tag. Here is an example
<node>
<child1></child1>
<findme></findme>
<child2></child2>
</node>
<node>
<child1>
<findme></findme>
</child1>
<child2></child2>
</node>
<node>
<child1></child1>
<child2>
<another>
<findme></findme>
</another>
</child2>
</node>
In each node I need to get findme
tag. But I don't know in which level it can be, all I know is a tagname
The only decision I came up with was to use this recursive function
foreach($xml as $prod){
...
$findme = getNode($prod, 'fabric');
...
}
function getNode($obj, $node) {
if($obj->getName() == $node) {
return $obj;
}
foreach ($obj->children() as $child) {
$findme = getNode($child, $node);
if($findme) return $findme;
}
}
Updated
Also as was suggested in comments we can use DOMDocument class like this:
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->LoadXML($xmlStr);
$nodes = $dom->getElementsByTagName('node');
foreach($nodes as $node)
{
$findme = $node->getElementsByTagName("findme")->item(0);
echo $findme->textContent."\r";
}
