[PHP] Odp: Returning a specific 'record' from an XML file From: ZeNDeR-X (zenderx <email protected>)
Date: 09/19/01

hi ;)
it's pretty simple to do something like this using the DOM functions that
handle XPath expressions.
when you have that xml loaded in a variable $xml_source all you have to do
is:
$doc=xmldoc($xmlsource);
$xpath_ctx = xpath_new_context($doc );
// show all objects
echo "Xpath All";
$result = xpath_eval($xpath_ctx, '//child::*');
print_r($result); // this will show you the structure of the output
// all books objects
$result = xpath_eval($xpath_ctx, '//book::*');
print_r($result);
// book number one:
$result = xpath_eval($xpath_ctx, '//book[1]');
print_r($result);

xpath is much more powerful than that and i'm pretty sure you can use it the
way you want it.
some more info about XPath is available here:

Good Luck with that ;)
