Remove node using domxml?

[keitai]

Hi all,

I am trying to make a simple cms with domxml.
Now I want to use remove_child() for a specific ranking id
this is my xml file

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<specials>
	 <special ranking="1">
		 <sort>Offer</sort>
		 <destination>New york</destination>
		 <airline>Air west</airline>
		 <price>399</price>
		 <moreInfo>none</moreInfo>
	 </special>
	 <special ranking="2">
		 <sort>Offer</sort>
		 <destination>Berlin</destination>
		 <airline>Air west</airline>
		 <price>299</price>
		 <moreInfo>none</moreInfo>
	 </special>
</specials>

Any good links, tips

hmm, I came up with this structure

// Open the XML file 
$doc = domxml_open_file("specials.xml"); 
$root = $doc->document_element(); 
//select the node to be remove
$id = $_GET['id'];
$ranking = $id;
$nodeToDelete =
//delete the node
function delNode($node){
                   $nud=$node->parent_node();
                   $nud->remove_child($node);
} 
delNode($nodeToDelete)
//save the xml
 $doc->dump_mem(true);

So how do I select a specific special node base on $id which equals the ranking attribute.

Hi Keitai

Would DomAttribute -> Value help at all?

hmm, I am to much of a newbie.

tried this

$doc = domxml_open_file("specials.xml"); 
$root = $doc->document_element(); 

$childs = $root->child_nodes();
foreach ($childs as $value) {
	echo $value->attributes() ." ".$value->get_content()."<br>";
	echo 'Attributes of ' . $value->node_name() . "\n";
}
//$attrs = $childs->attributes();


foreach ($attrs as $attribute) {
     echo ' - ' . $attribute->name . ' : ' . $attribute->value . "\n";
}

Gets me an out put like

Attributes of #text Array Offer New york Air west 399 none 
Attributes of special 
Attributes of #text Array Offer Berlin Air west 299 none 
Attributes of special 
Attributes of #text
