[RESOLVED] DOM: Nested query

[scrupul0us]

I need to perform a nested xpath on an XML data set I have..

data:

<data>
          <row id="">
               <subset>
                    <item>
                         <subitem master="" tag=""></subitem>
                    </item>
               </subset>
          </row>
</data>

for every row I need go through and get the values of master and tag

so for example, for one ROW I could have several sub-items in which I'd need each id, master and tag values respectively

I know how to get either the attributes for one or the other tag but not nested together

i was using:

$doc = new domDocument();
$doc->load('data.xml'); 
$xpath = new DOMXpath($doc);

$data = $xpath->query('/data/row');

$count = $data->length;
for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++)
{
//echo data
}

thanks =)

You just need to supply the context node, which will be each item from the $data node list in this case.

for() {
	$si = $xpath->query('.//subitem', $data->item($i));
}

Johanafm I cant thank you enough... the only other way I thought i could do it was perhaps with a contains() and passing the parent ID

This is so much more simplistic =)
